Horizontal equity in primary care financing
Payments to NHS primary care providers do not fully reflect healthcare need. Clear objectives for resource distribution should be defined and harmonized across different schemes to reduce horizontal inequities
Modeling urban growth in Atlanta using logistic regression
The application of geospatial technology to urban morphological research
This paper reviews the development of geospatial technology in recent years and its use and potential use in urban morphology. Such technology has been enabled by the rapid advancement in computer technology in both hardware and software. Remote sensing, photogrammetry and GIS are particularly important and suitable for use in urban morphological research. The availability of geospatial data in digital form has facilitated town-plan analysis and …
Decentralization and Polarization
From an exploratory factor analysis of the 2001 Hong Kong census, it was found that after the political changeover, the underlying determinants of the social dimensions were education, ethnicity, age, occupation, housing, and household size characteristics, with education being the most important, reflecting a new division of labor that has created occupational polarization and income inequality. When compared with factor analyses of the 1971 and…
Dasymetric Estimation of Population Density and Areal Interpolation of Census Data
This paper describes techniques to compute and map dasymetric population densities and to areally interpolate census data using dasymetrically derived population weights. These techniques are demonstrated with 1980-2000 census data from the 13-county Atlanta metropolitan area. Land-use/land-cover data derived from remotely sensed satellite imagery were used to determine the areal extent of populated areas, which in turn served as the denominator …
Urban Indicators of China from Radiance-Calibrated Digital DMSP-OLS Nighttime Images
A composite of cloud-free radiance-calibrated Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP)-Operational Linescan System (OLS) nighttime images of China acquired between March 1996 and January– February 1997 in 30-arc-second grids in byte format is evaluated for its usefulness in extracting urban indicators data of China. With the aid of image-processing and Environmental Systems Research Institute’s ArcView GIS software with 3-D Analysis extens…
Economic Reforms and Socialist City Structure
This paper examines the impact of the 1978 economic reforms on the socialist nature of the Chinese city, using Guangzhou, one of the most open cities in China, as a case study. Despite a reorientation of Guangzhou's role as a trade center and port, labor is still predominantly engaged in the secondary sector with a strong emphasis on heavy industry. Tertiary activities have only recently attained an equivalent level of importance during the early…

Recent Spatial Restructuring in Zhujiang Delta, South China
China's agricultural reforms and open door policy adopted since 1978 have had impact on the country's economic structure, population characteristics, and urban development. This paper examines the spatial implications of such changes in the light of the development of Zhujiang Delta located in the coastal region of South China. Market-oriented agricultural production, rural industrialization, migration of surplus farm labor, and the spread of sma…

Socialist Ideology and Urban Strategies in China
The past and current strategies for the development of Chinese and urban systems were examined with a view to assess the extent to which the socialist ideal'' has been met. Despite political upheavals and ideological conflicts, the level of urbanization, defined according to the proportion of population living in the administratively defined and towns, has been kept low, because of the consistent aim of minimizing the rural-urban contradictions. …
The Evolution of the Ecological Structure of Hong Kong
Changes in the ecological structure of Hong Kong since 1961 suggest the transformation of a typical colonial city structure dominated by a concentric-sectorial pattern of ecological areas into one with multicentered development and, by 1981, a closer integration between the old established Hong Kong-Kowloon urban core and the rural New Territories. This modern pattern of development reflects the government's policy of decentralization and greater…
The Geography of the Elderly Em a Modernizing Society
The characteristics of the elderly population of Hong Kong are first described. Recent changes in the spatial distribution of the elderly are also detailed. The spatial distribution and internal migration patterns of the elderly are shown to be very similar to those of the population as a whole. The problems posed by the fact that many of the elderly are poorly educated and lowly paid are considered

Chinese Urban Population Estimates
City populations (P) can be estimated from measurements of built-up urban areas (A) using LANDSAT images. Regression models developed from 1951–56 data for Chinese cities are of the form P=aAb . The models exhibit varying degrees of success when used with LANDSAT area measurements to obtain 1970 population estimates for selected cities in the range of 400,000–3,000,000 people. Further improvements of these models are achieved by the incorporation…

Changes in the Ecological Structure of Hong Kong 1961-1971
Two sets of data from the 1961 and 1971 censuses of the colonial city of Hong Kong have been factor analysed by various methods that have been subjected to orthogonal and varimax rotations. Interpretations have revealed two robust factors of 'high-income expatriate workers' and 'low-income blue- and white-collar workers' in 1961. By 1971 a more diversified socioeconomic stratification of the Chinese and high-income expatriate workers had emerged.…
Changing Population Distribution in the Hong Kong New Territories 1
The rapid postwar growth of population and industralization in Hong Kong has brought about changes in the spatial distribution of population in its country-side, the New Territories. Most prominent is the gradual emergence of a “ring” pattern as dictated by the network of roads now in existence. This in turn reflects the important part played by relief in controlling the direction of urbanization of the New Territories
