While the efforts based satellites have provided a good baseline for present land cover, what the next advancement in the research about LUCC change required is the development of reconstruction of historical LUCC change especially spatially-explicit historical dataset. Being different from other similar studies, this study is based on the analysis of historical land use patterns in the traditional cultivated region of China. Taking no account of the less important factors, altitude, slope and population patterns are selected as the major drivers of reclamation in ancient China, and used to design the HCGM （Historical Cropland Gridding Model, at a 60 km×60 km resolution）, which is an empirical model for allocating the historical cropland inventory data spatially to grid cells in each political unit. Then we use this model to reconstruct cropland distribution of the study area in 1820, and verify the result by prefectural cropland data of 1820, which is from the historical documents. The statistical analyzing result shows that the model can simulate the patterns of the cropland distribution in the historical period in the traditional cultivated region efficiently.展开更多

A large number of power lines and sub stations were newly built and updated. The rate of power penetration of townships, villages and peasant households was grown significantly. The rate of line loss dropped great ly. Power-supply reliability was improved clearly. The 'same network, same price' of urban and rural residential con sumption was brought about, and sales price to peasant households lowered substantially.展开更多
