Green Tourism

Tourism eco-efficiency is an important indicator that has often been applied to measure the quality of green tourism development. This paper takes the 31 provinces of China as examples to analyze regional tourism eco-efficiency. By constructing multiple input and output indicator systems for regional tourism, we estimated the eco-efficiency of 31 provinces in 1997–2016 using an undesirable output model of a slack-based model (undesirable-SBM) for data envelopment analysis (DEA). Then, we analyzed the spatial–temporal evolutionary trends and patterns of the eco-efficiency over 20 years by using the Hot Spot Model and Spatial Center of Gravity Model. Finally, we explored the driving forces internal and external to the tourism eco-economic system using the Panel Tobit Regression Model and Geodetector Model, respectively. The results show that: In the last 20 years, the tourism eco-efficiency of provinces in China declined, though tourism has experienced rapid but extensive development. The western regions of China, which have better eco-environmental conditions, and the southeastern coastal regions, which have higher levels of economic development, have higher tourism eco-efficiency. Regions with lower tourism eco-efficiency show diffusion trends, while regions with higher tourism eco-efficiency are characterized by a lack of obvious space spillover effects. Technology is the core driving force of regional tourism eco-efficiency, while traffic conditions and social civilization levels are key external influence factors leading to improvement of tourism eco-efficiency. The research results reveal the great significance of laws for sustainable green tourism development with different economic levels in the different regions. Our work could provide a reference for similar countries and regions in the world with the rapid growth of tourism or obvious spatial differentiation in socioeconomic development.

The authors analyse land cover changes in Czechia after 1990 on a meso-scale, i.e., on the administrative unit/district scale. The CORINE land cover database makes it possible to compare land cover differences and similarities in 1990, 2000 and 2006. The objective of this report is to set out a district typology according to land cover structure, and this will be achieved through the use of statistical methodologies. An intermediate objective is to establish land cover change trends and tendencies, including the intensity and spatial differentiation of these changes. An additional objective is to designate the main driving forces behind these changes. The presumption that land cover in Czechia is tending to become a multi-functional landscape has not been confirmed at the district scale. In contrast, in some districts, monofunctionality is increasing regarding the frequency of land cover classes.

As an important indicator of terrestrial ecosystems, vegetation plays an important role in the study of global or regional ecological environmental changes. Northern Shaanxi is located in the ecologically fragile area of the Loess Plateau, which is affected by interactions between natural and human factors. Here, we used the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) as an indicator to study the temporal and spatial variations of vegetation in Northern Shaanxi from 2000 to 2018. Based on the geographic detector method which can detect spatial differentiation, we analyzed the spatial differentiation characteristics and driving forces of vegetation in Northern Shaanxi, and revealed the most appropriate range or type of influencing factors for promoting vegetation growth. The results showed that the overall vegetation coverage improved in the study area, and NDVI showed an increasing trend with a growth rate of 0.10/10 years from 2000 to 2018. Natural and human factors are crucial driving forces of NDVI change, among which gross domestic product, land-use type, slope, and temperature have the greatest influence. The interaction between natural and human factors on NDVI was dominated by nonlinear and mutual enhancement effects, and the influence of interactions among all factors was significantly higher than that of a single factor. The range or types of factors suitable for vegetation growth were analyzed in the study area, and the joint action of natural and human factors had a more significant impact on vegetation. These findings provide a scientific basis for local governments to intervene in vegetation changes and ecological restoration through natural and human factors within the favorable scope.

The emergence of a new infrastructural arena in Europe has prompted searches for similar ‘macroeconomic corridors’ in the United States and Japan. Although they can easily be discovered in the United States, confining attention to Japan omits new regional forms brought about by economic integration in Pacific Asia. After examining the driving forces behind regional economic integration—rival firms, rival states, and supranational organisations—interest is focused on the ‘Japan Corridor’ and emerging zones of economic cooperation in the Yellow Sea and South China Sea as the building blocks of an East Asian development corridor. The rudiments of a Southeast Asian corridor are also examined by centring attention on the ‘Growth Triangle’ (Singapore-Johor-Riau), the ‘Northern Triangle’ (northern Malaysia-southern Thailand-northern Sumatra), and other manifestations of regional economic cooperation. More speculative discussion considers how a Pacific Asian corridor could emerge from further zones of economic cooperation in both Indochina and the Japan Sea. Its pivot could be the Hong Kong-Shanghai-Taipei triangle—a reflection of the likely emergence of a greater Chinese economic grouping.

Although Myanmar is among the world's oldest oil-producing countries, Chinese oil and gas companies did not start their oil and gas exploration projects there until recently. The most recent and significant China–Myanmar energy cooperation project is the oil and gas pipelines which got started in 2009. This paper will discuss the reasons and driving forces for this pipeline project and its broader objectives, and testify whether pipelines can deepen regional economic integration and strengthen bilateral relations. This paper concludes by saying that China might use the China-Myanmar pipeline construction as an opportunity to play a more constructive role in Myanmar's domestic reforms, thus improving its image in Southeast Asia and strengthening its relations with Myanmar.

The Impact

<p>Idle rural residential land (IRRL) is an important manifestation of changes in the human-land relationship during rural development. Studies on this topic are an important field in the study of sustainable land use, but quantitative analyses of IRRL in the academic community are still lacking. In this paper, we take the Pinggu, which has rapid urbanization, to analyse the spatial differentiation of IRRL and explore the spatial differentiation in the impact of different factors on IRRL. Results showed that IRRL was a common phenomenon in metropolitan suburbs with rapid urbanization. It had a spatial pattern of "one belt, three cores" in Pinggu, and its scale decreased from southeast to northwest. Industrial areas, semi-mountain ecotourism areas and urban fringe areas were the high-incidence areas of IRRL, while the idle rate of rural residential land in mountainous areas and plain agricultural areas was relatively low. The IRRL was the result of a combination of different factors, and there were differences among the different factors and regions. The transfer of rural labour, non-agriculturalization of industrial structure and mode of production and lifestyle caused by urbanization and industrialization were the major driving forces, and the lagging village planning and imperfect land use system increased the risk of IRRL. Our study contributes to filling the gap in quantitative research on IRRL to enrich the land use research system by exploring the interaction between humans and land in rural areas and thus has significance for rural restructuring and sustainable use of land in China.</p>

The Past

Multinational corporations from Japan and Western countries have played an active role in the economic development of Southeast Asia and have, during this time, undergone several developments. The recent economic crisis and efforts by the countries of the region to promote economic integration have again forced corporations to reconsider their strategies. Based on an historical overview, this article examines current strategies and, in particular, addresses the driving forces that are underlying the corporate behaviour of companies from different home countries. It argues that while corporate nationality has, to some extent, been important in the past, it will lose significance as multinational corporations are increasingly developing organizational cultures of their own.
