Seoul and the time in motion: urban form and political consciousness

Abstract

This paper explores the political effects of the cognitive change in the visual environment of colonial Seoul. It asks how the new urban imagery was perceived by the Korean population. It analyzes the ways in which they experienced urban forms, techniques of advertisement and urban infrastructure such as street‐cars and trains. It argues that the engagement of people with mobility, urban symbols and spectacles in the colonial city had stimulated different ways of seeing and thinking about who they were and what they had become, a new collective identity that is neither a subject of the Chos[obreve]n dynasty nor the Japanese colonial state. This paper demonstrates that colonial Seoul represented not only the technique of Japanese colonial subjugation but also generated a new grammar for imagining new identity and difference. The urban environment of the colonial city reflects not entirely a strategy of the colonizer but a tactic of the colonized in appropriating the different meanings of new social life, which was brought by, but not exclusively under, the control of colonial space and time.     

Comfort,Class and Climate Change: The Rise of Glass in Late Medieval and Early Modern Domestic Architecture

ABSTRACT

In the modern world, glass windows are considered an indispensable element of the built environment. Throughout premodern times, however, glass was not universally used in European architecture. This article argues that the rise of glass in Western architecture was neither an inevitable nor a linear process, but rather a response to certain social, cultural and environmental factors that gained increasing relevance from the late medieval period onwards. In other words, glass windows are a cultural convention, reflecting some of the wide-ranging and transformative challenges that Europeans faced in the late medieval and early modern period.     

Space and the City

ABSTRACT

Influenced by interdisciplinary studies and the ‘spatial turn’ in social history, this article explores the relationship between space and the construction of gender identity amongst the poor to middling sorts of seventeenth-century Norwich. To this end I have considered gendered interaction in different ‘types' of space: domestic, private space, ‘borderline’ space – such as the alehouse or threshold – and, finally, the public space of streets and markets. Each section explores the relevance of recent spatial historiography in the Norwich context, and evaluates whether men and women inhabited different ‘worlds' in the city, not only in terms of their physical movement or access to certain places but also, more importantly, in terms of how their presence was perceived, and thus their identity shaped by others. The empirical basis is primarily defamation depositions of the Norwich Diocese Court, largely used by the middling sorts, contextualized where appropriate with secular court records.     

城市近郊统筹城乡改革的经验、困难与深化——重庆“陶家模式”和“海龙模式”的比较与启示

重庆市统筹城乡发展改革在九龙坡区陶家镇和海龙村的试点较为成功,其共同点在于注重以工促农、社会保障和土地集约,而在改革主导角色、农民身份转变和土地流转方式上各具特色。"陶家模式"和"海龙模式"的实践证明:中小企业是统筹城乡发展的纽带,农民增收是统筹城乡改革顺利推进的关键,土地政策是统筹城乡发展的核心问题,统筹城乡发展需要系统思考与政策创新。目前,两种模式的深化发展,面临土地政策供给不足、社会保障推力不够、城乡规划视野不宽、政策落实不到位、资源要素流通不畅、管理体制不顺等困难。应进一步探索土地集约利用的新机制,加快城乡一体的社会保障体系建设,充分保障农转城人员的利益,推进城乡科学规划,破除农村投资樊篱,并提升各级政府的统筹发展能力。     

基于对地观测数据的城镇人口估算方法研究（英文）

本文对对地观测数据支持下的城镇人口估算方法进行了研究。首先,将研究区的居民地划分为高密度区、中密度区和低密度区,并且通过解译IKONOS数据获取各类型居民地的面积;然后,通过线性相关分析,研究居民地面积与居民人口之间的相关关系,并建立了相关关系式;最后,应用训练数据对居民地面积与居民人口之间的关系式进行了检验,结果显示：应用对地观测数据进行城镇人口估算,在理论上可信、方法上可行,是城镇应急状态下进行人口估算的可取方法。     

城市河流的生态功能与生态化建设途径分析

河流在人类的生产生活中发挥着重要的作用,但目前我国由于城市化的快速发展,城市天然河流水系遭到较大破坏,引发了一系列的生态环境问题,已经和正在受到人们的广泛关注。为此,本文首先分析了城市河流的生态功能,然后以南京市为例,论述了城市化对天然河流的影响,探讨了城市河流的生态化建设途径。认为从生态学的角度认识河流、整治河流,维护并增强城市河流的生态结构和功能,是生态环境保护和河流整治达到双赢的新思路。     

我国三大都市圈区域体育产业发展环境论——以上海市为个案分析体育产业发展环境影响因素

在文献分析的基础上，结合对比研究与个案实证法，依托于区域经济学与环境论等相关理论，探讨外部环境因素对都市圈区域体育产业发展的影响。作为都市圈区域体育产业发展领域研究的基础与主要切入点之一，在探讨我国都市圈区域体育产业发展环境问题时，首先，分析该产业发展环境的主要特征并回顾相关文献；其次，结合实际宏观比较三地开发体育产业的具体环境因素现状；最后，以上海市为个案验证相关可量化环境因素对体育产业的影响作用。     

影响都市体育文化建设因素的因子分析

以北京、广州、上海、武汉各都市的健身指导员、体育管理者为研究对象,采用文献资料法、问卷调查法、数理统计法等方法,对影响体育文化建设的相关社会学因子进行了分析。结果表明主因子有五个,分别是:管理因子、人员因子、条件因子、竞赛因子和经济因子。     

"非典"前后城镇居民的体育行为

对“非典”前后城镇居民体育行为进行调查分析。结果表明,“非典”前后城镇居民体育行为变化主要有4种类型:终身型、继发终身型、波动型、游离型,具有明显的职业特征、年龄特征、学历特征和性别特征。     

我国城镇居民消费结构支出与体育用品制造业产出关系的实证 研究

运用因子分析、聚类分析、比较分析及多元回归分析等方法,对我国城镇居民消费结构支出与体育用品制造业产出的关系进行实证研究.结果表明:城镇居民消费结构支出综合评价得分靠前的分别是上海、广东、北京、浙江和天津,体育用品制造业产出综合评价得分领先的依次为广东、上海、浙江、江苏和福建,说明城镇居民消费结构支出与体育用品制造业产出状况存在明显的区域差异性,总体表现为东部显著优于中西部.城镇居民消费支出水平越高,消费结构越合理,其对推动体育用品制造业的发展将产生积极作用,而体育用品制造业的发展壮大也将不断升级优化城镇居民的消费结构支出.食品、衣着、交通和通信、教育文化娱乐服务消费支出对体育用品制造业的发展影响非常显著,但家庭设备用品及服务、医疗保健、居住、杂项商品和服务消费支出对其发展的影响则较微弱.
