Impact of Tourists'Perceived Value on Behavioral Intention for Mega Events:Analysis of Inbound and Domestic Tourists at Shanghai World Expo

Based on the survey data for 2120 inbound and domestic tourists at the Shanghai World Expo,a structural equation model was constructed for the relationship among tourists' perceived value dimensions,behavioral intention and revisit intention.Additionally,the influence of tourists' perceived value dimensions on the behavioral intention and revisit intention was explored.The results show that the utilitarian value and enjoyment value significantly affect the inbound and domestic tourists' behavioral intention,while the convenience value and aesthetic value have no significant influence.The service value only significantly affects the domestic tourists' behavioral intention,and the aesthetic value only significantly affects the inbound tourists' behavioral intention.The utilitarian value,service value and enjoyment value significantly affect the inbound and domestic tourists' revisit intention,while the convenience value only significantly affects the domestic tourists' revisit intention.The utilitarian value is the primary factor affecting the inbound tourists' behavioral intention and revisit intention,and the perceived price has no significant effect on either inbound or domestic tourists' behavioral intention or revisit intention.The study explores the relationships between tourists' perceived value,behavioral intention and revisit intention,analyzes the divergence and causation,theoretically enriches the research field of tourism geography and behavioral geography,and has great practical significance to the sustainable development of mega events in China,including the further development of the Shanghai World Expo.

Business Zone B of Shanghai World Expo is the dynamic cluster area of well-known enterprise headquarters,and it has created the scheme layout of integrated design above and below ground according to regional planning characteristics and the characteristics of the times.The underground space landscape design of Business Zone B of Shanghai World Expo is a typical case of underground space development in China,and the summary of design strategy is helpful for improving underground space landscape design level in China.The existing problems in landscape design of Business Zone B of Shanghai World Expo are found through fi eld investigation,and the law of underground space landscape design in Business Zone B is summarized.Due to the fact that the development of underground space can not be reversed,the optimization design strategy of underground space landscape,such as strengthening the connectivity of underground space,enriching the sunken square and courtyard,and creating good physical environment of underground space,is put forward to improve the status quo of underground space environment.The construction level of underground space landscape in China has been constantly improving.As long as the urban planning is reasonable and pays attention to the application of integrated design of ground and underground,architectural technology and art combination in underground space environment,the construction of urban underground space landscape will become more ecological,humanized and diversifi ed.

China＇ s Security Measures for 2010 Shanghai World Expo： A Retrospect

The security threats to Shanghai World Expo were multi-faceted, ranging from terrorist threat to ethnic separatist threat, from foreign diplomatic and political disputes to domestic mass disturbances as well as serious social crimes The first was from terrorist threat, and the global Jihad network in Eurasia was looming in the early 21st century, which was guided by radical ideologies; the second threat was from ethnic separatist groups; the third threat was related with foreign personnel and diplomats＇ security; the fourth threat was from mass disturbances, and the fifth was from serious social crimes. China＇s measures to these potential multi-faceted challenges were serious and various, including preventing terrorist attacks through international cooperation, lessening ethnic separatists＇ dissatisfaction and avoiding possible mass demonstration, reducing the chance of domestic mass disturbances, guaranteeing public transportation and aerospace security, making extensive use of advanced technologies and referring to other countries＇ expertise in security check, seeking help from other provinces bordering Shanghai, and strengthening control over explosive materials, etc.. Nevertheless, the efficacy of the above-mentioned countermeasures was problematic, for they were more defensive than offensive, more passive than proactive, and more tactical than strategic.

World Expo 2010 Pavilions Clustering Analysis Based on Self-Organizing Map

This paper reports the classification of 90 sample pavilions in Shanghai World Expo. An artificial intelligence based nonlinear clustering method known as Self-Organizing Map(SOM) has been used to classify expo pavilions. SOM is an efficient tool for visualization of multidimensional data. To conduct the classification, four characteristics namely Hurst exponent for queue length, Hurst exponent for waiting time, mean queue length and mean waiting time have been applied. The classification results show that Shanghai World Expo pavilions can be optimally classified into four classes. This result will shed light on further studies that how to manage the queue of World Expo pavilions in the future.

Shanghai on the World Expo Stage

This year, China has been hit by abnormal weather-spring seems reluctant to arrive as north China is plagued by low temperatures and strong winds and the south is drenched in lasting rainfall. In spite of the climate, the pulse of spring is vibrant at the Expo site. Before the opening ceremony, Shanghai Mayor Han Zheng said the six trial runs for the Expo had achieved their expected results with flying colors.

人类命运共同体视域下的中国形象建构与创意设计研究——以世博会中国馆为例

以“人类命运共同体”视域下的“世博会中国馆设计的困境与根源”“理念指引意义”“重构国家形象设计的三组关系”“国家形象创新设计思路”四个维度为切入点,梳理形象设计的三个维度——符号生产、形象生成和传播生效,指出世博会中国馆设计长期存在“无内涵呓语”“无声息失语”“无边际妄语”等困境,根源在于设计者身陷“留恋传统、困顿当下、羡慕西方”的阈限焦虑。“人类命运共同体”为解决这一困境提供了价值坐标,有助于重新定位自身,确立新使命、塑造新形象、拓展新视野。在此基础上,需要重构“元素/系统”“现实/想象”和“我塑/他塑”三组关系。最后提出基于该理念的国家形象创意设计思路,为国家形象设计的研究与实践提供新的范式想象和学科出路。

重大事件游客感知价值维度模型及实证研究——以2010上海世博会国内游客为例

文章采用SPSS18.0和AMOS17.0数据分析软件对上海世博会国内游客调研数据进行分析与处理,构建重大事件国内游客感知价值的测量维度模型,并进行测度研究,结果显示:①上海世博会国内游客感知价值包括服务价值、美感价值、效用价值、愉悦价值、感知价格、方便价值等6个测量维度。②上海世博会游客感知价值在服务价值、美感价值、效用价值、愉悦价值等维度上测量均值较高,整体感知价值达到满意水平;相对而言,感知价格、方便价值等维度均值偏低,需求刚性、不规则性和市场供求关系是主因。③感知价值与各测量维度之间存在多元线性关系,其相关性强弱依次是效用价值、愉悦价值、美感价值、服务价值、感知价格、便利价值。该研究结论推进了游客感知价值理论和测度方法的实证应用,对世博会等同类国际性重大事件的可持续发展具有一定的理论和现实意义。

上海世博会环境空气质量状况和原因分析

通过2001—2010年世博会同期上海市环境空气质量变化趋势和特征分析,简析上海世博会期间环境空气质量改善和世博后空气污染反弹问题的原因。结果表明,世博期间上海市环境空气质量优良率高达98.4%,为历年同期最佳;大气污染防控措施成效显著,尤其是脱硫措施实施效果明显;世博后由于季节变换、沙尘影响和监管力度减弱等因素导致空气污染有所反弹。

气象条件对上海世博会期间空气质量影响

观测资料显示,2010年世博会期间上海的空气质量为2001年以来同期最优。利用近10年上海近地面气象观测数据、美国环境预报中心NCEP/NCAR再分析资料和中国气象局国家气候中心的环流指数监测数据,分析了有利于空气污染扩散的近地面气象条件及大气环流特征,及其对上海世博会期间空气质量的影响。结果表明:2010年世博会期间,上海近地面东风明显偏多且偏大,近地层接地逆温明显少于往年,降水量和降水日数也较常年明显偏多,综合气象条件有利于空气质量的提高。西太平洋副热带高压较常年异常偏大、偏强、偏西,影响上海地区的夏季风更多源自西太平洋副热带高压南侧的偏东气流输送,这为上述区域的东风活跃创造了条件。尽管上海世博会期间的空气质量联防联控措施使得污染排放低于常年,但气象条件不利时,大气环流的输送扩散仍导致了上海世博会期间上海的3次污染事件,这说明气象条件是上海世博会期间空气质量优良的主要影响原因之一。
