    The pattern of passenger flows is one of the indicators reflecting spatial transport linkages. This paper examines the features, regional disparity and dynamics of passenger flow patterns in China since the 1980s. The post-reform period has witnessed clear changes in regional patterns of the average travel frequency per capita (TFPC, hereafter) in China. The major changes are: (1) the TFPC has been continuously rising in the fast-growing southeastern coastal provinces, including Zhejiang, Guangdong, Fujian and Hainan, and the ranking of these provinces in terms of TFPC has also gone up gradually; (2) the ranking of northeastern provinces (i.e. Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang) in terms of TFPC has fell down; (3) the TFPC of southern provinces with a big population has increased significantly, and among them Sichuan, Chongqing, Guizhou and Hunan registered a faster increase rate than national average; and (4) the TFPC of provinces in North China and the Northwest has remained at a comparatively low level. The relative disparity in provincial TFPC increased significantly in the 1980s while it narrowed down in the 1990s. One spatial features among other is that more and more southern provinces registered a high TFPC. The major factors leading to rapid growth of passenger flows are: (1) economic growth, which is the primer factor generating demands of people for various kinds of travel. The higher the income of people in a region is, the higher their travel frequency is, and the longer their travel distance is; (2) labor flow, which makes the low-income provinces have a high TFPC because of the huge out-flows of rural surplus labor into the fast-growing coastal regions; and (3) improvement of transport infrastructures, which enables people to travel more and longer.

    Based on SPSS software package and GIS technology, this paper makes a comprehensive assessment on the socio-economic development at county level, and reveals the characteristics and the laws of regional disparity about socio-economic development in China. Firstly, factors that mainly influence the social regional differentiations are socio-economic structure, economic level and population quality, their weights are respectively 29.168%, 27.844% and 16.942%. At the same time, the relativity among indexes, measuring regional socio-economic development, indicates that change of each factor can give rise to the change of other factors in the system, therefore, preserving the integrated coordination of each regional factor is the key to raise the synthetical level of regional development. Secondly, in the view of county scale, for the gap between the development degree of social structure and population quality is far smaller than economical gap makes the regional gap estimated by the method of synthetical index is clearly lower than that of economic development. It not only indicates that some fixed limitations would be existed if we weigh the gap of regional development merely with the economic index, but also shows the correctness and feasibility of the policy to reduce the gap of regional development by reducing the gap of regional social development and that of public service. Thirdly, the space disparity in the level of social synthetical development, existing in counties of China, displays the different characteristics compared to the provincial region. Seeing from the east-west aspect, 4 corridors clearly appears by turns, that is, from the Coastal Higher Corridor, the Beijing-Jiulong Lower Corridor, then to the Beijing-Guangzhou Higher Corridor,at last to the Middle-West China Lower Corridor. It is clearly different from the view of provincial scale which is divided 3 districts as the east, the middle and the west. While in the north-south aspect, there are 3 higher corridors (the north along boundary, the Changjiang River, the Nanning-Kunming Corridor) and the lower level districts between them. All these indicates that the north-south disparity is forming in China, particularly along the Long-Hai railway is a lower level corridor traversing the east-west in China. Coordinating development of the northern and southern regions should be caused highly recognition by the executive department. In addition, in the region or smaller scale, economic development decreases from the center area to the marginal area step by step. Fourthly, space distribution of socio-economic structure, economic level and population quality level takes on obvious disparities in representation and intensity in counties. Hence, adopting discriminate analysis method, this paper classifies counties into 5 categories by using the targets of socio-economic structure, economic level and population quality.

    With the speeding up of urbanization, more and more high buildings emerge, which makes the vertical spatial growth of city become the most obvious landscape in the past decades. The research on urban vertical growth becomes a necessity. But the previous researches have just considered the urban area extends while neglected the vertical spatial growth, so they can not explain the actual urban structure comprehensively. This paper aims to analyze this variable and dynamic phenomenon during the process of urbanization by the application of modification to urban allometric growth model and C-D function, which is used widely in the research of urban geography. The method urban allmetric growth analysis can be further modified to ensure that they can explain the urban growth comprehensively both in horizontal and vertical dimension. In this paper, we introduce a new variable representing for urban vertical growth and take Dalian City as an empirical evidence implication. Set up the nonlinear allometric growth functions:A(t)=aP(t)b,H(t)=aP(t)b, Y=PαAβ hγ,combine the urban area sprawling with urban vertical spatial growth together, analyzing the nonlinear allometric growth interactions among these urban spatial factors and urban population size. We think this work will contribute to understand the concept of fractal urban space and the structure of urban dynamic system more clearly. Taking Dalian city as a case study, we find some conclusions: (1) by the means of urban allometric growth analysis, the urban land-use of Dalian City witnesses the transformation from the pattern of "urban area sprawling (1904-1985)" to "urban vertical spatial growth as well as the area sprawling (1985-1992)" to "urban vertical spatial growth (1992-2000)". (2) By the means of urban input-output structure analysis and the Cobb-Douglas function, we can see after 1992, the value of "Y-P" input-output coefficients ξ is on the decline, while the value of "Y-A", "Y-h" input-output coefficients ξ both grow increasingly, this tendency reflects the overall growth of urban land-use including both horizontal and vertical spatial growth. (3) With regards to urban land-use, the pattern of optimizing irrational production, distribution structure and the environmental improvement would have much more input-output economic benefit than just extending the urban area. So in the process of urbanization, we should pay more attention to optimizing irrational land-use distribution and structure instead of enlarging urban area blindly.

    Dongguan City is situated in the eastern part of the Pearl River Delta, southern China. The East River, one of the main tributary of the Pearl River, flows from east to west and formed river-net plain in the northern part of Dongguan City. The 32 towns or township districts in Dongguan City of Guangdong Province can be grouped into 4 geographical zones as the river-net zone in the northern part (including 11 towns or township districts); the mountainous zone in the southern part (including 9 towns); the transition zone in the central part (including 8 towns or township districts) and the water-source protection zone in the upper reach of the river-net zone in the eastern part. The GDP (Gross Domestic Production) in the river-net zone in the northern part occupied 31.03% of the total GDP in Dongguan City in 1990 but lowered to 23.32% in 2000; while GDP in the mountainous zone in the southern part occupied 19.29% of the total GDP in Dongguan City in 1990 but raised to 26.98% in 2000. The GDP proportion in the other two zones hardly changed during the same period. Investigation on the pollution discharge in 2000 in the 4 zones indicates that the pollution load in the river-net zone in the northern part occupied 73.42% of total pollution load in Dongguan City, while that in the mountainous zone in the southern part occupied only 10.48% of total pollution load in Dongguan City. Comparing the economic growth and environmental pollution in the 4 zones during the period of 1990-2000 reveals that the environmental pollution has already seriously affected the economic growth and the full play of the advantages of the towns or townships in the river-net zone in the northern part of Dongguan City (especially the towns near the river mouth), and hampered their industry from upgrading. The influence of the environmental pollution on economic growth is not restricted to where pollution is produced, where suffered most is often the towns along the lower valley or in the down-wind regions. The practice of the economic development in the water-source protection zone in the upper reach of the river-net in the eastern part indicated that,environmental protection,strictly controlling the discharge of pollutants, did not affect the development of the local economy. The environmental protection is not incompromisably in contradiction with economic development.

    According to the precipitation and δ18O obtained during GAME-Tibet IOP, based on the knowledge that the δ18O in precipitation is lower which is from the ocean air mass and higher from that of the local evaporation, the water vapor sources could be identified from the δ18O value in precipitation. We attempt to give the identification criterion of δ18O value. If we use δ18O < -20‰ as the criterion that the precipitation is formed directly from the ocean air mass, the contribution of ocean air mass may be not underestimated. And if we use δ18O>-13‰ as the criterion that the precipitation is formed directly from the local evaporation, the contribution of local evaporation may be not overestimated. According to such criterion, the proportion of the local-evaporation-formed-precipitation and the ocean-air-mass-formed-precipitation in total precipitation was estimated. The precipitation samples at site NODA, Anduo and AQB basically recorded the precipitation processes in June to early September. On the average of these three sites, the precipitation is 249.76mm. The precipitation formed directly from ocean air mass vapor is not beyond 80.08mm and the precipitation formed directly from local evaporation vapor at least is 117.05mm. That is to say, the proportion of the ocean-air-mass-vapor-formed-precipitation in total precipitation is not beyond 32.06% and the local-evaporation-vapor-formed-precipitation at least is 46.86%. The other 21.8% may come from the transportation of the monsoon circulation to the evaporation vapor on the way. The precipitation in Tibetan Plateau is mainly local rain formed by wet convection from the surface evaporation vapor. The rate of the precipitation formed directly from ocean air mass vapor to the total precipitation in Anduo area is small in summer monsoon.

    After analyzing average annual temperature and precipitation of the 27 meteorological stations in Inner Mongolia from 1956 to 1995 using wavelets transformation, the authors draw following conclusions. (1) The coldest period was from 1956-1958 and there were two main accretion periods of both air temperature and precipitation at the beginning of the 1960s and 1990s. Observed from large scale of time, i.e. between 36 years and 40 years, both air temperature and precipitation were in the state of relatively high values. Meanwhile, temperature had an increasing trend while some meteorological stations' precipitation was gradually decreasing. On the moderate scale and small scale of time, i.e., between 16 years and 20 years and between 4 years and 8 years, air temperature and precipitation both had more varying forms embodied in their changing frequency and fluctuation intensity. (2) Based on multiscale characters of air temperature and precipitation respectively, the authors use some numeric numbers to describe those characters and sort the meteorological stations as four types. This paper shows the spatial patterns of air temperature and precipitation change using the ordinary Kriging interpolating method. The spatial pattern of air temperature change of Inner Mongolia has the trend of varying with latitude while the spatial pattern of precipitation change has the rough trend of varying with longitude. (3) In the end, the dry-humid features from March to May of Inner Mongolia are studied in this article that include two humid periods happened at the end of the 1950s and in 1980-1982 and a driest period happened after 1994. On the large scale, a clear trend of turning from humidity to dryness can be detected. On the moderate scale and small scale, the change between humidity and dryness are relatively frequent.

    The topographic feature is one of the main factors that influence the process of soil erosion and sediment yield of small watershed. It is very necessary to quantitate the topographic feature of small watershed and get the correlative parameters rapidly. According to the process resemble principle and statistic analysis of the topographic feature of small watershed on the Loess Plateau, the small watershed model is designed as 9.1 m long (max), 5.8 m wide (max), 3.15 m high (max) and the soil density is controlled as 1.39 g/cm3. Based on 25 artificial simulated rainfalls, the dynamic development process of the topographic feature of small watershed model is studied by means of photogrammetry and GIS technology. We obtained the data of high precise DEM model, contour line map and the vertical and horizontal section of the small watershed model during different developing periods, including early developing period, active developing period and stable developing period. By GIS technology, the parameters of the topographic feature of the small watershed model are worked out, such as area, length, width, depth, volume and perimeter of the small watershed model. The visualization and spatial analysis of the development process feature of the small watershed model are conducted. The development process of the small watershed model takes on the gully width expansion, the gully bottom cutting down and the gully length increase. The spatial conformation of the main gully and branch gully of the small watershed model are irregular during the early developing and active developing period, and contrary during the stable developing period. The chief reason for the spatial conformation development of the small watershed model is the redistribution of the earth surface substance that is caused by soil erosion, especially the gravity erosion. The research shows that the photogrammetry and GIS technology may be applied to getting the related parameters of the topographic feature and quantitiving spatial distribution of the soil erosion of small watershed quickly and exactly. The technology is very significant to study the quantitive relationship between the soil erosion and sediment yield process and the topographic feature of small watershed on the condition of rainfall on the Loess Plateau. It also provides new method for establishing the soil erosion prediction model of the small watershed in this area.

    In research of agricultural climate resources, the zonal digitization of climate data is very important for optimization, collocation and high efficient utilization of agricultural resources. Using 11-year of monthly mean air temperature, precipitation, solar radiation and evapotranspiration potential at 112 station in Gansu province and adjacent regions, we combined the methods of stepwise regression analysis and spatial interpolation to regionalize climate variables in Gansu province. Based on stepwise regression analysis,we chosen the methods of zonal digitization. The two methods of spatial interpolation were applied for every climate variables, and farther the results were validated and contrasted by absolute errors from cross-validation test and relative errors from proportion of mean absolute errors (MAE) and corresponding monthly mean climate variables. The results of mean absolute errors were ranked as Spline air temperature > evapotranspiration potential > precipitation, but the zonal digitization of the four climate variables all achieved good precision.

    Natural disasters such as landslide and soil erosion are severe in China. Therefore, effective evaluation of slope stability further provides the warning for local/regional soil erosion, which is essential to the precise prediction and effective prevention of these catastrophes. Many approaches have been proposed in assessing slope stability and landslide hazards in the literature, the commonly-used approaches include (1) field inspection using a checklist to identify sites susceptible to landslides; (2) projection of future patterns of instability from analysis of landslide inventories; (3) multivariate analysis of factors characterizing observed sites of slope instability; (4) stability ranking based on criteria such as slope, lithology, landform, or geologic structure; and (5) failure probability analysis based on slope stability models with stochastic hydrologic simulations. Each of these is valuable for certain applications. None, however, takes full advantage of the fact that debris flow source areas are, in general, strongly controlled by surface topography through shallow subsurface flow convergence, increased soil saturation, increased pore pressures and shear strength reduction. In this study, a distributed modeling scheme based on digital elevation model (DEM), takes advantage of geographic information system (GIS) and remote sensing information coupling with the Infinite Slope Stability Model to quantify topographic attributes related to slope instability and landsliding so as to mapping the hillslope stability entitled as SINMAP was introduced in detail, and its application to a 2431 km2 watershed in Shanxi Province was conducted and tested with the discussion of the field observations. The experimental application indicated its good applicability and operational value in quantitative evaluation of surface stabilities in basin scale areas.

    With the assistance of remote sensing and geographic information systems, the land resource databases in 1986 and 2000 have been established through interpreting the Landsat TM images of the two times, and the extent of the databases includes the contiguous region of Shanxi, Shaanxi and Inner Mongolia in the northern China. According to the informat ion of forest and grass cover derived from the databases, the following points can be concluded: in the whole region, there was 3321860 ha of forestland and grassland in 2000, occupying 56.87% of the total area, the forestland occupied 13.72% of them, and grassland occupied 86.28%. Although the forest and grass cover had increased by 22829 ha from 1986 to 2000, accouting for 0.69% of its total area, the func tion of protect ion and regulation of forest and grass cover had decreased and the size, acreage and shape complexity of their patches also declined. At the same time, only the low cover grassland had increased among all types of forestland and grassland. The decreasing factors of vegetation cover change were mainly deforestat ion, reclamation of grassland, and desertification of grassland, and the increasing factors were the completion of eco environment construction projects, such as afforestation, returning farmland back into forestland or grassland and so on.

    Flood damage leads to great economical loss. Based on precipitation data at Huzhou and Yixing which are located in the upper area of Taihu Lake, precipitation distribution in different seasons and its tendency have been analyzed. The result shows that the precipitation in flood season is about 60% of the annual total amount in most of years during 1997-2002, and 35% in summer and 15% in winter respectively. The tendency analysis suggests that precipitation has been indecreasing in flood season. Slight drought prevailed in this area before 1974 and then flood and drought ocurred alternatively. The conclusion also shows that El-Nino or La-Nina occurred in most of the disaster years. Spectrum analysis is also conducted with the result that the significant period is about 20 years and the sub-period are 2.2 and 3.3 years. The anti-correlation between rainfall and sunspot is also revealed. From the conclusion, the prediction is given that the prevailing damage will be drought in the coming 20 years with possibility that heavy flood disaster will occur due to abnormal climate.

    This is a case study of information geography or cybergeography with case of Chinese Tourism Websites (CTW).In this paper, with online statistics and analysis using the Tourism Websites Characteristic Indices (TWCI), the spatial distribution of CTW was described, and its zoning were analyzed. The regional TWCI is defined as the ratio of the total number of the regional tourism websites linked to the main engine website divided by total number of the regional domains as a whole with a multiplied coefficient of 100. With TWCI it is easy to revealing the characteristic informationized regions like Yunnan with well development tourism websites in China, which was difficult to revealed with normal indices like total number of domains or tourism websites. It is proposed that the distribution of CTW in China is spatially differentiated, and the total number of regional CTW is related to the levels of regional social economic background, internet techniques foundation and the status of regional tourism development. With investigation of some populated CTW, it is shown that the website covered all aspects of tourism operation sectors, and two types of CTW, i.e., hotel website and travel service website, become the main composition of CTW. Concerning with total number of CTW and the TWCI, all provinces can be classified into 5 groups, i.e., the synthesized type of region like Beijing, the imformationized type of region like Yunan and Hainan, the distributing type of region like Guangdong Province and Shanghai, the relatively developed type of region like Jiangsu, Zhejiang and the less developed but with superior attraction type of region like Tibet, Guizhou and Jiangxi. With regression analysis, the total number of CTW is related to the total number of regional domains with correlation coefficient R larger than 0.867 and an identified efficient model. And the number of CTW is also related to the total number of regional hotels and the number of regional travel services with R of 0.898 and a tested efficient linear regression model. Moreover, we also analyzed the relationship of CTW to integrated background of internet technique and the developing level of regional tourism, with result that the total number of CTW is related to numbers of domain and the total number of tourism units (Hotels and Travel Services), with R of 0.935 and a test-passed linear regression model.

    The tourists market of the resort is composed of different tourists with different demographic and social features, different tourism motivations and needs, as well as different tourism experience. this paper uses the first-hand data to analyze the motivations and the quality of experience of zhouzhuang tourists., and with the methods of the factor analysis, alternate analysis and hierachically clustering, this article analyzes the motivations of tourists in Zhouzhuang. Then based on the difference of the major motivations, the tourists are classified into four types, and the demographic and social features, behaviors of tourists are also discussed. The conclusion indicates that the basic motivations of the tourists in Zhouzhuang is relaxing, and different types of tourists have different experience quality. The tourists drived by mentality internal push have high tourism experience quality, while those attracted by the external pull of the attributes in resorts have low satisfaction. Different tourists have concurrently high expectation on the natural and cultural scenery in Zhouzhuang, however their demands on its tourism infrastructure, services, the relationship between guests and hosts, and the product prices are different. In the end, according to the demands of different types of tourists, some measures on the tourism products adjusting are suggested.
