Change in Environmental Benefits of Urban Land Use and Its Drivers in Chinese Cities, 2000–2010
Driven by rising income and urban population growth, China has experienced rapid urban expansion since the 1980s. Urbanization can have positive effects on the urban environment; however, improvement of urban environment quality, especially its divergence between relatively developed and undeveloped cities in China, is currently a rather rudimentary and subjective issue. This study analyzed urban environmental benefits among China's prefectural c…
Investigating urbanization and its spatial determinants in the central districts of Guangzhou, China
Urban land expansion in Quanzhou City, China, 1995–2010
Comparing urban land expansion and its driving factors in Shenzhen and Dongguan, China
Landslide inventory maps
Landslides are present in all continents, and play an important role in the evolution of landscapes. They also represent a serious hazard in many areas of the world. Despite their importance, we estimate that landslide maps cover less than 1% of the slopes in the landmasses, and systematic information on the type, abundance, and distribution of landslides is lacking. Preparing landslide maps is important to document the extent of landslide phenom…
An analysis of Taiwan's energy ecological efficiency and the effectiveness of the Kyoto Protocol
This paper examines and discusses core issues relating to ecological pressure and climate policy performance in Taiwan, given Taiwan's status as a non‐signer of the Kyoto Protocol. Taiwan's CO 2 emissions account for 0.9 percent of the world's total, making it the 23rd largest producer of global CO 2 emissions. To better understand Taiwan's performance in energy efficiency, this study calculates Taiwan's energy ecological footprint (EEF) and its …
Tobacco growers at the crossroads
A comparative case study of cultivated land changes in Fujian and Taiwan
Visual Estimation of Graduated Circles
The study examines the underestimation phenomenon with graduated circles. It argues that underestimation is the outcome when the method of ratio estimation is used, and that underestimation is a special case when the method of magnitude estimation is used. This is supported by the results of two experimental studies by Chang and Cox. The study presents a classification system that would encompass all possibilities of the estimation of graduated c…
Data Differentiation and Cartographic Symbolization
The study examines three types of data differentiation and the relationships between them and cartographic symbolization. The differentiation of point, line, area, and volume data generally corresponds to the use of point, line, and area symbols. There are exceptions to the general rule, of which the use of point symbols for area data in aggregate form is most common in mapping. Data may or may not be processed prior to symbolization. Processed d…
An Instructional Computer Program on Statistical Class Intervals
To develop an effective classification for a set of data can be very time-consuming in choropleth mapping. This paper presents a computer program written in BASIC language as a solution to this problem. The program will perform three major tasks. First, class limits will be computed upon the choice of classification method and the number of classes. There are seven methods to choose from: quintiles, arithmetic, geometric, reciprocal, the use of m…
