The priorities of the three are different, and there is mutually dependent and contradictory relationship among them. Facing the triple pressures of food security, food safety, and environmental protection, this paper analyzes the priority of the three from the historical development, then further analyzes the interaction between food security,food safety and environmental protection and finally puts forward the healthy development of food security, food safety and environmental protection, and the proper settlement of the three problems.展开更多

文摘Food security, food safety and environmental protection are major livelihood issues in front of the Chinese people. The priorities of the three are different, and there is mutually dependent and contradictory relationship among them. Facing the triple pressures of food security, food safety, and environmental protection, this paper analyzes the priority of the three from the historical development, then further analyzes the interaction between food security,food safety and environmental protection and finally puts forward the healthy development of food security, food safety and environmental protection, and the proper settlement of the three problems.
基金We would like to express our gratitude to the Autonomous University of Baja California(UABC),the Master's and Doctoral Program in Architecture,Urbanism and Design(MyDAUD),as well as the National Council of Science and Technology(Conacyt).The project is linked to the paper:Habitability and post-covid.A study of urban connectivity in public,which has as code:402/3412.This project is internal to the university and it does not have funds.
文摘This study reflects on the impact that the neighborhoods’in-between spaces have on:spatial perception,social interaction,and security.These sites,characterized by their abandonment and deterioration,can also be seen as crucial spaces of opportunity for cities,in the architectural,urban and landscape research.This paper aims to analyze the sociospatial relationships in the neighborhoods’in-between spaces and examine the impact of inbetween space configuration on urban habitability.The investigation draws on a survey of perception to residents about the requirements for a suitable social interaction in these spaces.This study was developed in a neighborhood in the city periphery,characterized by their social dynamics and location in a nature conservation area.The findings indicate that the appropriation process,activities,and collective practices are dependent on the spatial legibility,in this case when this increases,gives rise to improve the habitability and the rehabilitation of the in-between space.Furthermore,the lack of design on in-between spaces substantially affects the use of these spaces and the social interaction among residents.
