Child‐rearing and Parental ‘Intentions' in Postmodernity

This paper aims at revealing the various meanings of schools as more than built physical environments from a geographical‐phenomenological (or ‘geo‐phenomenological’) perspective. This paper consists of five sections: the first explicates the meaning of ‘geo‐phenomenology’; the second reveals the meaning of ‘environment’ and a dialectics of strangeness and intimacy through geo‐phenomenological analysis; the third examines the meanings of environment as ‘space’ and ‘place’ and the act of naming as the process of constructing meaning between humans and environment; the fourth section attempts to explore the meaning of conceiving school as a particular environment; and the final is the conclusion.     

历史上汀江流域的地理环境——客家形成的自然背景考

位于闽粤边区的汀江流域是客家族群聚居之地。历代北方汉族移民之所以能够在汀江流域一带保存古代中原汉族文化,形成一个既区别于少数民族,又不同于汉族其他族群的汉族客家民系,以往的研究多认为是由于历史上该地域地理环境闭塞。事实上,汀江流域在历史上并不闭塞,它既是山海交接地,又处于交通要道,还是铜铁、林木、烟草和纸张等的重要产地。     

地理临近对企业知识搜索效果的影响研究——基于结构洞理论视角

从结构洞理论的视角出发,提出地理临近对企业知识搜索效果的影响机制模型。通过对长三角地区制造业企业的实证研究发现:组织与其合作伙伴之间的地理临近性与知识搜索效果之间存在倒U型曲线关系;地理临近性和知识搜索效果之间的关系还受到结构洞的调节,地理临近性对知识搜索的负向效应在结构洞较多的情况下更明显,而地理临近性对知识搜索的正向效应则在结构洞较少情况下更为明显。     

四川天府新区文化产业的学理与前景研究

2014年10月天府新区正式成为国家级新区。天府新区自成立以来,区域经济发展迅速。这对于新区的产业发展提出了一个迫切的课题:天府新区应该选择什么样的产业作为其发展方向,或者说作为西部中心级的城市适合走什么样产业的路子。通过态势分析,对天府新区文化产业发展的内外部环境进行全面、系统、准确的分析,使各县市对其本身的优势、劣势有清楚认识,对其外部的机遇和挑战做好心理准备,并为制定科学、合理的文化产业发展战略提供理论依据。产业选择之一的文化创意产业是适合天府新区的未来发展的,因为成都作为内陆城市适合走"无重"经济的发展道路;整个世界处于文化产业的成长周期之中;天府新区的产业规划放在新兴产业(新兴产业也包含文化产业)。同时在文化产业选择上,天府新区适合以文化休闲产业和电影文化产业为核心,辅之以广播影视产业、新闻出版业、网络动漫业、广告会展业、高新技术和文博旅游等产业。     

地理新课标背景下师范生素质调查研究——以衡阳师范学院为例

以地理新课改为切入点,采取个别访谈、调查问卷与数理统计等多种研究方法。结果表明:地理师范生对新课改的认识不足,地理专业思想不明确。同时存在创新意识与科研能力不强,教学实践能力较弱,课程资源整合能力不够等诸多问题。为此,师范院校应通过大学课程内容改革、延长教育实习时间以及创建大学与中学对接培训平台等方式培养师范生的素质,同时师范生也要积极主动地利用各种资源提高自身的教学实践能力及课程资源开发与整合的能力。

Small Circles: Mobile Telephony and the Cultivation of the Private Sphere

This article examines how we use mobile telephony to maintain our physically and socially closest social circle. The analysis is based on traffic data gathered from Norway using approximately 24 million calls and texts made by private individuals. Previous research has shown that our temporal and spatial movement is highly predictable and that the majority of calls and text messages are sent to only four to six different persons. This article extends this research by examining both tie strength and the distance between the interlocutors in urban and rural settings. The findings show that even as information and communication technologies (ICTs) potentially put the world at our fingertips, the mobile phone is an instrument of a more limited geographical and social sphere. Approximately two-thirds of our calls/texts go to strong ties that are within a 25-km radius.     

Does the Great Firewall Really Isolate the Chinese? Integrating Access Blockage With Cultural Factors to Explain Web User Behavior

The dominant understanding of Internet censorship posits that blocking access to foreign-based websites creates isolated communities of Internet users. We question this discourse for its assumption that if given access people would use all websites. We develop a conceptual framework that integrates access blockage with social structures to explain Web users’ choices, and argue that users visit websites they find culturally proximate and that access blockage matters only when such sites are blocked. We examine the case of China, where online blockage is notoriously comprehensive, and compare Chinese Web usage patterns with those elsewhere. Analyzing audience traffic among the 1000 most visited websites, we find that websites cluster according to language and geography. Chinese websites constitute one cluster, which resembles other such geolinguistic clusters in terms of both its composition and its degree of isolation. Our sociological investigation reveals a greater role of cultural proximity than access blockage in explaining online behaviors.     

邻近性对跨区域研发合作模式的影响研究——基于北京、上海、广东的实证

基于组织类型和区域边界两个维度将跨区域研发合作划分为四种模式,采用北京、上海和广东三大典型区域1985-2008年的发明专利数据,考察了三类主要邻近性因素对不同跨区域研发合作模式的影响。结果表明:地理邻近对跨区域企业间、跨区域学研机构间合作的影响均不显著;技术邻近对跨区域研发合作模式影响大多为负;关系邻近对跨区域研发合作模式影响大多为正,且这种正向作用在跨区域企业间、跨区域学研机构间的合作中尤为突出。最后,结合区域创新资源配置和跨区域知识流动方式,对我国典型地区的跨区域研发合作主导模式及邻近性的不同作用进行了讨论。     

中国东部沿海地区农业污染风险地域分异研究

农业面源污染已经成为我国水体污染的主要原因,其排放总量呈不断增长趋势,在我国东部沿海发达地区尤为突出。本研究从环境压力水平、环境压力强度方面选取11项农业污染风险评价指标,综合评估东部沿海地区化肥、农药、农膜污染及畜禽养殖污染的风险,并运用因子分析和聚类分析法,将东部沿海地区划分为高、中、低三类农业污染风险区。东部沿海地区农业污染中、高风险区主要集中在京津冀都市区、河北省南部地区、山东省、江苏省北部及沿海地区、上海都市区、闽南地区、广东省西部地区及海南省,河北省和山东省农业污染风险尤为严峻。东部沿海地区的农业环境问题面临着巨大挑战,因地制宜的农业环境经济政策迫在眉睫。
