Dynamic changes and driving factors of land use under new-type urbanization: A case of Guiyang

With the continuous progress of new-type urbanization in Karst mountain area, how to correctly deal with the relationship between urban economy and land use are attracting much attention. Based on the land-use change data, this paper analyzes the characteristics of land use change and its driving factors in Guiyang with the method of land-use dynamic analysis, land utilization and factor correlation analysis. We get the following results:(1) the change of land use was obvious during 2004 and 2012. The area of arable land and other land were decreased, the rate of decrease are 3.89% and 8.24%. In the meantime, a series of construction land and forest area increased a lot, the rate of increase are 3.89% and 8.24%.(2) The integrated land use dynamic degree of two research stages(2004-2009 and 2009-2012) were decreased from 2.12% to 0.34%, this suggests dynamic changes of land tend to be stable.(3) Four kinds of Land use class have a great contribution to the index of land use degree respectively. The composite index of land use degree rose from 229.58 to 247.19 during 2004 and 2012; the land use is still in the development stage.(4) Economy, population, transportation and policy guidance are the main drivers of land use change.

Principles for Designing New Types of Housing for a Strong and Resilient Local Economy in the Republic of Congo

The Congolese population is organised into households, which are thus headed by a chief who ensures the social well-being, development and integration into working life of the individuals in his charge. This study examines the functional principles of new housing design as an instrument for transforming the (current) failing economy into a strong and resilient one. Accordingly, a literature review of the practice of designing and building housing in human settlements in the Congo revealed the state of the art on this subject. An analysis of the existing housing stock from a demographic, social and economic point of view made it possible to identify the most common household sizes and numbers, as well as the lifestyle processes that determine the need for developed space. To this end, the experimental method was used to propose configuration plans for various new types of dwelling. To this end, the study highlighted the link between people’s standard of living and the effectiveness of their involvement in the local economy. To achieve the aims of the National Development Plan (NDP), particular attention must be paid to solving the housing problem. The existing housing stock actively contributes to the problems associated with unemployment and insecurity. Functional principles for the design of new types of housing have been developed. Four model types are proposed in line with the demographic structure of the population, their socio-economic characteristics and their lifestyle.

Regional coupling coordination degree between new urbanization and water ecological civilization in China,2009-2018

New urbanization is closely related to the construction of aquatic ecological civilization,and it promotes and restricts each other.Based on the panel data of 30 provinces in China from 2009 to 2018,this paper constructs the evaluation index system of new urbanization and water ecological civilization,determines the weight by using entropy method,and comprehensively analyzes and judges the development status and coupling coordination of new urbanization and water ecological civilization by constructing the coupling coordination model of new urbanization and water ecological civilization.The results show that the coupling coordination degree of new urbanization and water ecological civilization in most provinces and cities is in the state of barely coordination and primary coordination,and is at the level of medium coupling coordination;the overall trend is increasing,and the gap between provinces is gradually narrowing with the advance of time;In terms of regional distribution,the eastern region is higher than the central and western regions.Beijing,Shanghai,Tianjin and other places in the eastern region have realized the high-level coupling of new urbanization and water ecological civilization,while Henan,Anhui,Hunan and other places in the central region still have a large space for improvement.
