Evaluation of the development potential of transformation & upgrading from a scenic spot to a tourism complex: A case study of Mount Qiyun

Mining the mobile pattern of the urban population plays an important role in city construction, and visual analysis is a powerful technique in studying mobile patterns. In this paper, based on the taxi trajectory data in Hangzhou, we share our design for an interactive visual analytic system, which helps analyzers leverage their domain knowledge to gain insight into travel patterns, including travel time rules of tourists and the distribution rules of pick-up and drop-off locations. Besides, our system can present the dynamic travel process and the Point of Interest (POIs) information of the origin and the destination. A case study has been conducted, which verifies that our system can provide tools for urban managers or urban experts on the design of scenic spot open entrances and exits and travel route planning.

Using Data

Abstract In this paper the authors attempt to answer the question of which location and site-specific factors have a decisive influence on the successful regeneration of brownfields. Using data from the South Moravian Region (Czech Republic), we analyze the spatial and functional distribution of brownfields, and test the correlation between the development potential of municipalities and the distribution of the brownfields that have already been regenerated. We then compare the structure and characteristics of existing and regenerated brownfields to identify significant drivers and barriers in the regeneration process. The findings indicate that regenerated brownfields are more likely located in municipalities with a higher local development potential (represented by the rate of local business activities, spatial peripherality - proximity to the regional centre and the main road network, and the quality of local infrastructure). It is also demonstrated that the large size of brownfields, their previous industrial use and the existence of contamination are not determinative barriers for regeneration if the brownfields are located in attractive areas and their ownership relations are not complicated.

Karst Landforms

Erosive Karst Tiankeng has been a new type of Tiankeng Since the Collapsed Karst Tiankeng was found and primarily research by Zhu Xuewen, a famous geologist. But, how the Erosive Karst Tiankeng evolved and developed? How can we find the proofs on formation and evolutional processes of Erosive Karst Tiankeng? Few scholar focused on this new field. According to the first-hand datum by geological Expedition and study in Xingwen World Geopark, the results and datum show that apart from Dayanwan and Xiaoyanwan collapsed karst Tiankeng, there are other karst landforms in Bowang Mount scenic spot of Xingwen World Geopark such us Feiwu Cave, Dao Cave, Cangshuiyan Gorge, Nanxing TanKeng and so on. These typical karst landforms could be regarded as different vestiges of erosive karst Tiankeng of Xingwen World Geopark, which stand for the evolutional processes of erosive karst Tiankeng separately. Moreover, the evolutional processes of erosive karst Tiankeng could be divided into the following continuous processes: an erosive karst Tiankeng develops from the processes of eroding and dissolving & extending of silo Sinkhole, and subsequently degrades to a large gorge or doline. It is worth pointing out that except for erosion of flowing water, at the same time, collapse’s effect has been playing extremely important role in the forming processes of these special erosive landforms.

Wetland is the significant territorial resources and natural resources in China, whereas the establishment of wetland park is an effective measure to protect wetland resources. The research, taking the Wuhan East Lake Falling Wild Goose Scenic Spot as the example and pointing out the “chain theory”, focuses on the toughness plan and design of wetland park to build “Wetland Pond Chain System” and promote the capacity of nourishing and defending, which can be benefit for the sustainable development of wetland and provide certain references for wetland park plan and design in the future.
