Ecological service assessment of human-dominated freshwater ecosystem with a case study in Yangzhou Prefecture, China

Freshwater ecosystems provide a host of services to humanity. These services are now rapidly being lost, not least because of the inability of making the impacts measurable. To overcome this obstacle, assessment frameworks for freshwater ecosystem services are needed. A simple water equivalent framework to assess the ecological services provided by freshwater ecosystems was developed in this study. It translated the occupation of freshwater ecosystem services into biologically freshwater volumes and then compares this consumption to the freshwater throughput, that is, the ecological capacity available in this region. In this way, we use the example of Yangzhou Prefecture, to account the main categories of human occupation of water ecosystem services. The result showed that there is a huge gap between the consumption and the supply of freshwater ecosystem services. This must encourage local government to make land-use and water management decisions both economically rational and environmentally sound.

Study on Rockeries and Plant Furnishings in Yangzhou Gardens

Rockeries of Four Seasons (Siji Jiashan) in the Ge Garden, House of Rockeries (Pianshi Shanfang) and Attached-to-wall Rockeries (Tiebi Jiashan) in the He Garden, Rockeries World (Juanshi Dongtian) and Flowing Water on Rockeries (Shibi Liucong) in the Park of Slender West Lake in Yangzhou City were taken as representatives of rockeries in Yangzhou gardens. Plant furnishings and their combinations with rockeries were analyzed, for example, plants can be applied as the background to support the rockeries; closely combined with rockeries to form the principal scenery; applied as decorations to supplement rockeries; applied as the foreground to enrich landscape layer. Characteristics of plant and rockeries landscaping were analyzed, and it was proposed that rockeries landscaping was combined with cultural characteristics of plants, focused on diversity of plant furnishings and also combination of plant figures and appreciation perspectives, and valued growth habits of plants. On this basis, relevant suggestions were given for the construction of rockeries in Yangzhou gardens.

Spatial Distribution Characteristics of Rural Tourism Attractions in Yangzhou City

By using geography quantitative methods and Arc GIS,the spatial distribution characteristics,types,rules and influencing factors of 20 representative rural tourism attractions in Yangzhou City were analyzed.The results show that the traffic accessibility of various regions in Yangzhou City correlated positively with the spacial distribution of rural tourist attractions in quantity in these regions.The rural tourist attractions were dense in regions 10-20 km away from the center of the city;there was only one rural tourist attraction in regions 40-70 km away from the center of the city;some big rural tourist attractions were distributed in regions 70-90 km away from the center of the city;market orientation influenced the spatial distribution of the rural tourist attractions obviously.In regions 0-30 km away from the center of the city,most rural tourist attractions mainly provided recreation and entertainment services for tourists;in regions more than 70 km away from the center of the city,most rural tourist attractions mainly provided health and recuperation services for tourists;in regions 30-50 km away from the center of the city,the service functions of the rural tourist attractions were compound and diversified.

Evaluation of Three-dimensional Urban Expansion: A Case Study of Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province, China

With rapid urban development in China in the last two decades, the three-dimensional(3D) characteristic has been the main feature of urban morphology. However, the vast majority of researches of urban growth have focused on the planar area(two-dimensional(2D)) expansion. Few studies have been conducted from a 3D perspective. In this paper, the 3D urban expansion of the Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province, China from 2003 to 2012 was evaluated based on Geographical Information System(GIS) tools and high-resolution remote sensing images. Four indices, namely weighted average height of buildings, volume of buildings, 3D expansion intensity and 3D fractal dimension are used to quantify the 3D urban expansion. The weighted average height of buildings and the volume of buildings are used to illustrate the temporal change of the 3D urban morphology, while the other two indices are used to calculate the expansion intensity and the fractal dimension of the 3D urban morphology. The results show that the spatial distribution of the high-rise buildings in Yangzhou has significantly spread and the utilization of the 3D space of Yangzhou has become more efficient and intensive. The methods proposed in this paper laid a foundation for a wide range of study of 3D urban morphology changes.

The Planning Management Experience and Enlightenment of the Cityscape Inheritance of the Ancient City of Yangzhou

China is currently facing the problem of large-scale destruction of the overall cityscape brought about by the rapid development of the city. The optimization of urban stocks and the improvement of urban quality have become the necessary paths for major cities to improve their urban soft power and obtain secondary economic growth. At present, most cities in China are still in the exploratory period of the protection of the cityscape, facing the dilemma of various ways but poor effects. Since the 1990 s, Yangzhou has begun to protect and inherit the cityscape, accumulating systematic protection methods and retaining the complete cityscape. This paper analyzed the characteristic cityscape of the ancient city of Yangzhou, sorted out its strategic methods in the planning management, and summarized the local experience in the inheritance of the characteristic cityscape, in order to provide a reference for China's future cityscape protection work.

The Application of Plant Culture in Architectural Decorations of Classical Gardens of Yangzhou

Technical Guidelines for Renovation of Yangzhou Traditional Dwellings and Its Compilation

With the evolution of the renewal concept and protection mode of dwellings in ancient city in the new era,the guidelines for the renovation of dwellings compiled in the past have shown obvious limitations of the times.Its compilation form is too simple,and the content is slightly insufficient,and it is difficult to scientifically guide the high-standard renovation of traditional dwellings in the new era.In the compilation of the Technical Guidelines for Renovation of Yangzhou Traditional Dwellings,the core concept is “continuing the style and texture of the ancient city,inheriting the construction technology of private houses,and integrating innovative renovation techniques”,and an overall framework for integrating the technical guidelines for renovation of traditional dwellings in “new era and new concept” is proposed.The classification guidance standards for different types of traditional dwellings and their surrounding ancillary environment are formulated,and the corresponding renovation plans of traditional dwellings are systematically drawn as supplementary guidance documents for the relevant classification guidance standards.

Canal,Salt Merchants,and Emperors:Yangzhou Gaomin Temple in the Context of“Cultural Jiangnan”

This paper investigates the formation of the sacredness of Gaomin Temple(高旻寺)during the Qing Dynasty and reveals that its sacredness is closely related to the writing of the“Cultural Jiangnan(文化江南)”1 image of Yangzhou(扬州)by a group of intellectuals in the city.Based on the theory of the semiotics of cities and subculture,this article points out that under the joint action of such factors as salt merchants,emperors,the palace on tour,literati,and monks,Gaomin Temple was able to retain its religious value in the symbolic meaning of the space structure,get through diverse social conditions,and align itself with societal values.Therefore,the temple has become an urban symbolic system of a“semantic field”,which is also the social source of its sanctity.

扬州市邗江区耕地时空变化及驱动因素分析

以扬州市邗江区耕地为研究对象,在对耕地数量、质量现状分析的基础上,采用土地利用动态变化分析法对耕地数量、质量进行时空变化分析,采用灰色关联法对耕地数量变化的驱动因素进行分析。结果表明:研究期内耕地面积有所减少,动态度较小;受城市快速发展和农业结构调整影响,减少的耕地主要转为建设用地和林地。新增耕地主要来源于城乡用地增减挂钩、耕地占补平衡、土地综合整治等项目,耕地质量较高。城镇化率、总人口、第二三产业占地区生产总值比重、GDP、粮食总产量、粮食作物播种面积是影响耕地数量变化的主要驱动因素。
