Based on remotely sensed data of land use change with a spatial resolution of 1 km × 1 km on national scale among every 5 years, this paper designed a new dynamic regionalization according to the comprehensive characteristics of land use change including regional differentiation, physical, economic, and macro-policy factors as well. Spatial pattern of land use change and its driving forces were investigated in China in the early 21 st century. To sum up, land use change pattern of this period was characterized by rapid changes in the whole country. Over the agricultural zones, e.g., Huang-Huai-Hai Plain, the southeast coastal areas and Sichuan Basin, a great proportion of fine arable land were engrossed owing to considerable expansion of the built-up and residential areas, resulting in decrease of paddy land area in southern China. The development of oasis agriculture in Northwest China and the reclamation in Northeast China led to a slight increase in arable land area in northern China. Due to the ＂Grain for Green＂ policy, forest area was significantly increased in the middle and western developing regions, where the vegetation coverage was substantially enlarged, likewise. This paper argued the main driving forces as the implementation of the strategy on land use and regional development, such as policies of ＂Western Development＂, ＂Revitalization of Northeast＂, coupled with rapidly economic development during this period.展开更多

But sustainable development is facing many challenges. They may mainly include the follows: challenge comes from the contradiction between human and the earth, challenge of local benefit conflict to human common goal, challenge of competition to fairness, challenge of unbalanced development in regions and countries, challenge of diversity and challenge of calamity. Challenges are not only pressure, but also the motive force. Challenge exists, the motive force would never stop. Sustainable development was born in challenges, is developing in contradiction and will sustain in conflict.展开更多

From a production po int, this has often centred on lean manufacturing and JIT waste elimination proc esses. However, in 1991, the Iaccocca Institute Bethlehem P.A commissioned a re port specifically to analyse the changing nature of the marketplace. As a result , in the following year, the Agile Manufacturing Forum was initiated and the ter m ’agile or responsive manufacturing’ was first introduced within a business env ironment in order to meet the customers changing demands within in a volatile an d turbulent market. Aims: The paper seeks to examine the effect that ’lean thinking’ has upon the supply chain and analyse the effect that this has within a constantly changing m arketplace. It will further examine how an agile supply chain will impact upon the supplier. In addition, the paper will explore the differences between lean and agile philosophies and the impact that this has on the buyer and supplier re lationship. Using a case study approach the paper will make a detailed comparison between we stern organisations and Asian companies-typically China and Malaysia-to fo cus on the utilisation of ’best practice’ techniques and the impact that these h ave on organisations within the supply chain. Objectives: · Identify the effects on the supplier and buyer (first tier) and subsequent su ppliers within the supply or logistical chain. · Analyse the link between customer and buyer and the relevant theories of diff ering relationships from adversarial to partnership collaboration · Confirm which type of marketplace ’lean & agile (responsive supply) ’ can ef fectively operate · Examine the effects and benefits on the western and Asian organisations (buye r & seller) when operating within a responsive supply chain Summary: The authors will review existing literature and methodology and will co mbine analytical theories with practical case studies.展开更多
