CMORPH data well estimates the precipitation features over the PRD. Compared to the surrounding rural areas, the PRD urban areas experience fewer and shorter precipitation events with a lower precipitation frequency(ratio of rainy hours, about 3 days per year less); however, short-duration heavy rain events play a more significant role over the PRD urban areas. Afternoon precipitation is much more pronounced over the PRD urban areas than the surrounding rural areas, which is probably because of the increase in short-duration heavy rain over urban areas.展开更多

Methods: The data about cancer incidence and mortality were provided by Huai'an Cancer Registry, China. Incidence and mortality rates, and standardized rates were calculated by age, gender, areas (urban and rural areas of Huai'an) and cancer sites. Results: The crude incidence rate for all cancer sites was 205.60/105 and the standardized incidence rate was 166.22/10. Both the crude and standardized rates were higher in urban area than in rural area for both sexes. The inci- dence rates increased in people aged 40 and over, and the peak ages of incidence were between 70-75 in both males and females. The crude mortality rate for all cancer sites was 153.88/105 and the standardized mortality rate was 122.14/105. Both the crude and standardized rates were similar in urban and rural areas for both men and women. The mortality rates were at low level under the age 50 in both sexes, but increased after the age 50, reaching the peak at the ages of 80-85 in both males and females. The top 10 most common cancer sites in rank were esophagus, stomach, lung, liver, colon-rectum, breast, pancreas, cervix uteri, brain and central nervous system, and leukemia, accounting for 87.56% of all cancers. The top 10 most leading causes of cancer death in order were cancers of esophagus, lung, liver, stomach, colon-rectum, pancreas, brain and central nervous system, leukemia, breast and lymphoma, accounting for 90.53% of all cancer deaths. Conclusion: Cancer is one kind of major diseases threatening people's health in Huai'an area, China. Cancer prevention and control should be enhanced, especially for esophageal cancer.展开更多

Differentiation in rural household behaviors and their consciousness in land use activities is widespread in rural China nowadays. It is important to understand the changing characteristics and laws of land use behaviors of rural households driven by their consciousness, so as to regulate their land use activities. In most empirical studies of land use change at rural household level, the land use consciousness, which acts directly on land use behaviors, is often neglected. In our research, the changes of land use behaviors of rural households are analyzed, through identifying how the land use consciousness affect the land use objectives, land management scales and land inputs of all the rural households in Bailin Village of Chongqing Municipality in the western mountainous China. Also, how the land use consciousness of different rural households comes into being under external stimuli is examined and the self-adjustment process of their consciousness according to their own conditions is also discussed. Finally, broad policy instruments are suggested to promote the rationalization of rural households′ land use consciousness and the standardization of their land use behaviors.展开更多

However, from a demographic perspective, unequal marriage exchange between groups can create social division and conflict. This Chinese study is a contribution to these debates. This paper explores the issue in the context of a rural minority community in Rightqi, Inner Mongolia, taking social statistical methods and anthropological in-depth interview methods to investigate intermarriage between Mongolian and Han. The paper shows that the number of Han males married to Mongolian women is far greater than the number of Mongolian males marrying Han women. Most Hart people live in urban areas, while Mongolians predominantly reside in pastoral areas and there has been a significant trend for girls from the pastoral areas to marry urban males. Since the proportion of males to females in China has been increasing, the competition between men over female partners has intensified, leading to urban males recruiting partners from the countryside. As a result, young men from minorities in the rural areas are finding it increasingly difficult to marry and this generates a lot of social problems.展开更多

So, "Eco-City", "urban ecology" are two heterogeneous areas should be treated differently. However, in rural and urban dualistic situation, China advocated "ecological city" ignored the rural ecological balance, resulting in "eco-city"development directly into" urban ecology" construction within the city along with the waste of resources, water pollution, serious problems of air pollution, noise pollution, the deep "eco-city" into representation" urban ecology", in the standard does not cover up the sound, making the generation between rural and urban" material Rift ,"after all ,can not be filled.展开更多

In 2012 a restriction on second homes was introduced into the Constitution, in 2013 referendum the planning law was revised. Both issues wanted to restrict disproportionate building activities, and were accepted after a heated debate. This outcome mirrors a change in popular attitude towards constructions in the countryside and so-called "cold beds" (second homes used for a short time only), but also towards the disfiguration of the (rural) landscape in general. At the same time it revealed two social rifts: between urban populations (that are increasingly migrating towards rural landscapes) and rural regions that want to obtain a similar level of living as the urban majority, and between lowland and mountain regions. The results of the referenda show that the population is very much concerned about the future of our landscape and environment. The paper discusses the two referenda and their implications for Switzerland in general and for regions that are considered marginal. Its focus lies on the political aspects of the two issues, which not only concern marginality but also are a challenge for national cohesion and direct democracy.展开更多

The paper will firstly illustrate the purposes and principles of integrating urban and turn/medical insurance systems. Then, with the development of socialist core value--equity, the consideration of the development of the social security system, and the consideration of the strengthening of the rural and urban economy, integrating three main basic health insurance systems is required to take place urgently, In the last part, it provides the strategic development of the inter,ration of the dual svstem.so as to build an uniform social insurance system.展开更多

This study is a cross-sectional questionnaire study that was conducted in the Silivri among the dates of 25th May-24th July, 2015. Questionnaires were conducted from 221 people living in Silivri with face to face interviews by researchers. Most of participants (82.4%) thought the presence of hazardous environmental factors deteriorated their health (n = 182). Water pollution (48.4%, n = 107) and absence of free water (50.7%, n = 112) were the most common complaints of the participants. Analyzing distribution of factors which disrupt health and history of chronic disease to urban and rural areas revealed more complaints about those factors and diseases in the rural areas than urban areas. The most common chronic diseases diagnosed were hypertension (15.8%, n = 35), chronic lung diseases (10.4%, n = 23), diabetes and coronary artery disease. Silivri people reported a lot of environmental problems which impair the public health. People living in villages close to industrial zone and seas which have marine pollution have more history of diseases and report more factors that negatively influence the health than people living in urban area.展开更多

It is a periodical outcome of spontaneous adjustment by the migrant labor market. As rural welfare was greatly enhanced in 2009, migrant workers' opportunity cost of working outside their hometowns was raised. The connotation of migrant workers' "market price" is changing. The new generation of migrant workers, namely, those born after 1980, are becoming the mainstay of enterprises' employment. Being better educated, they have different lifestyles than previous generations. "Leisure and entertainment" have become part of their opportunity cost and reduced their labor supply. "Labor shortage" is an endogenous force that helps transform China's growth patter, upgrade the industrial structure and promote urbanization. The seasonal "return of migrant workers" and the "labor shortage" which appears around China's Spring Festival each year have grown into a unique b,t effective collective bargaining mechanism that helps increase migrant workers' wages. Facing labor shortages, governments should regulate the labor market pricing and orientate labor-intensive enterprises towards transition, continue to enhance the social security system for migrant workers and those in rural areas, and make an accurate forecast of the population trend and adjust population policies.展开更多

With the acceleration of urbanization process in China, economic development gap between urban and rural areas is widening, resulting in a lot of social problems, of which there are a lot of weak social groups in the cultural and economic level is relatively backward rural areas. Thought to be bound by their material conditions is not high, in the face of social problems even more weak, and they lost even among the elderly also faces remarry rare status quo. Rural elderly remarriage can be resolved related to quality of life and how happy they are old age, so this research will focus on the vast rural areas. After the Rongcheng County of Baoding, Hebei Province and five ordinary village Yixian interviews conducted, combined with a large research literature summed up his own research ideas and research methods. Find out China's rural elderly remarriage even lose relevance, problems and influence factors, and the corresponding countermeasures and suggestions: the elderly themselves from both the individual and the external environment to solve. Elderly people to establish a correct view of marriage and spouse, and actively carry out another marriage personal preparation. External environmental needs of the family, society and country in three areas to work together to form a joint force to support the establishment of Trinity molding system from three angles.展开更多

Data obtained are fundamental parameters for the planning of urban solid waste management systems in Mexico, complying this way with the established policy in the National Program for Waste Management and Prevention 2009-2012. The study was carried out during five days and two main parameters were assessed: (1) the daily generation rate per person and (2) the waste composition. The per capita waste generation was 0.958 kg for the urban community and 0.631 kg for the rural. The results showed that the mean composition of waste from both locations was statistically similar (a = 0.05). In both locations the most important contribution was the fraction of food waste. In both locations more than 60% of the waste is potentially recyclable. The results of this study will be used by the municipal waste authorities in order to establish an integrated waste management plan.展开更多

The results show that the structure of migrant worker families' consumption has been dominated by survival consumption. These families tend to live frugally in cities while engaging in conspicuous consumption in their rural hometowns. The structure of migrant worker families'consumption is mainly shaped by their income stability and wealth levels rather than their current income level. Moreover, migrant worker families with high educational levels and those who intend to settle permanently in cities are likely to allocate substantial expenditure to status and hedonic consumption and to upgrade their urban consumption structure.展开更多

The "economic absorption and social exclusion" of semiurbanization path has attracted rural residents to cities. These people participate in the urban economy just as a factor of production (labor) without enjoying the rights that urban citizens(xfiUagers) have. This urbanization path and population mobility has had a profound influence on rural democracy in China. On the one hand, large numbers of young people have left; the traditional villages in central and western China, which are characterized by population output( many even move with their entire families), causing the villages to lose their political elite while the interaction chain between villagers has been shortened and social trust in the villages has been weakened, thereby giving rise to a low quality of rural democracy. On the other hand, large numbers of migrant workers have flocked into the urbanized villages in eastern China, which are characterized by population input, and these people far outnumber local residents. Migrant workers are excluded from rural democracy and the governance structure. This local citizenship based on the household registration system restricts the inclusiveness of village democracy.展开更多
