This paper uses geotagging data to compare the links between attractions in Beijing, China during four different periods: the pre-Olympic period (2004–2007), the Olympic Games and subsequent ‘heat period’ (2008–2013), the post-Olympic period (2014–2019), and the COVID-19(Corona Virus Disease 2019) pandemic period (2020–2021). The aim is to better understand the evolution and patterns of attraction networks at different scales in Beijing and to provide insights for tourism planning in the destination. The results show that the macro, meso-, and microscales network characteristics of attraction networks have inherent logical relationships that can explain the commonalities and differences in the development process of tourism networks. The macroscale attraction network degree Matthew effect is significant in the four different periods and exhibits a morphological monocentric structure, suggesting that new entrants are more likely to be associated with attractions that already have high value. The mesoscale links attractions according to the common purpose of tourists, and the results of the community segmentation of the attraction networks in the four different periods suggest that the functional polycentric structure describes their clustering effect, and the weak links between clusters result from attractions bound by incomplete information and distance, and the functional polycentric structure with a generally more efficient network of clusters. The pattern structure at the microscale reveals the topological transformation relationship of the regional collaboration pattern, and the attraction network structure in the four different periods has a very similar importance profile structure suggesting that the attraction network has the same construction rules and evolution mechanism, which aids in understanding the attraction network pattern at both macro and micro scales. Important approaches and practical implications for planners and managers are presented.</p>","PeriodicalId":55258,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Geographical Science","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-01-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139589946","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the diverse natural and economic conditions across different regions in China, there exists an imbalance in the distribution of carbon emissions. Therefore, regional cooperation serves as an effective means to attain low-carbon development. This study examined the pattern of carbon emissions and proposed a potential joint emission reduction strategy by utilizing the industrial carbon emission intensity (ICEI) as a crucial factor. We utilized social network analysis and Local Indicators of Spatial Association (LISA) space-time transition matrix to investigate the spatiotemporal connections and discrepancies of ICEI in the cities of the Pearl River Basin (PRB), China from 2010 to 2020. The primary drivers of the ICEI were determined through geographical detectors and multi-scale geographically weighted regression. The results were as follows: 1) the overall ICEI in the Pearl River Basin is showing a downward trend, and there is a significant spatial imbalance. 2) There are numerous network connections between cities regarding the ICEI, but the network structure is relatively fragile and unstable. 3) Economically developed cities such as Guangzhou, Foshan, and Dongguan are in the center of the network while playing an intermediary role. 4) Energy consumption, industrialization, per capita GDP, urbanization, science and technology, and productivity are found to be the most influential variables in the spatial differentiation of ICEI, and their combination increased the explanatory power of the geographic variation of ICEI. Finally, through the analysis of differences and connections in urban carbon emissions under different economic levels and ICEI, the study suggests joint carbon reduction strategies, which are centered on carbon transfer, financial support, and technological assistance among cities.</p>","PeriodicalId":55258,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Geographical Science","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139589838","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Taking the Landsat series images as the basic data sources, the winter land surface temperature (LST) of the rapid urbanization area of Fuzhou City in China was quantitatively retrieved from 2001 to 2021. Combing comprehensively the standard deviation ellipse model, profile analysis and GeoDetector model, the spatio-temporal evolution characteristics and influencing factors of the winter urban thermal environment were systematically analyzed. The results showed that the winter LST presented an increasing trend in the study area during 2001–2021, and the winter LST of the central urban regions was significantly higher than the suburbs. There was a strong UHI effect from 2001 to 2021 with an expansion trend from the central urban regions to the suburbs and coastal areas in space scale. The LST of green lands and wetlands are significantly lower than croplands, artificial surface and unvegetated lands. Vegetation and water bodies had a significant mitigation effect on UHI, especially in the micro-scale. The winter UHI had been jointly driven by the underlying surface and socio-economic factors in a nonlinear or two-factor interactive enhancement mode, and socio-economic factors had played a leading role.

Based on the dataset consisting of land use change data and selected factors in 2010 and 2020, this study used visual analysis to reveal the spatiotemporal dynamics of land urbanization across prefecture-level cities in China. Meanwhile, the driving forces underlying land urbanization were examined by using geographical detector technique. Following are the findings: 1) we find that there exist notable spatial variances in land urbanization across prefecture-level cities. Currently, the differentiation in land urbanization between the northern and southern cities is more pronounced than that between the coastal and inland cities, or between the eastern and western cities. Prefecture-level cities located in central and western China have experienced the most rapid growth in land urbanization. Conversely, the growth rate in northeastern China is the lowest, while the velocity in eastern China remains relatively stable. By using spatial autocorrelation analysis, this study reveals that the land urbanization level in prefecture-level cities has significant spatial agglomeration. 2) We further find that land urbanization in China is influenced by factors related to urban land supply and demand, and urban population growth, economic growth, land financial and political incentive have greater impact on land urbanization than other factors. 3) We also find that the impacts of determinants on China’s land urbanization vary over time, the explanatory power of economic development increased, while the explanatory power of state forces declined. We argue that integrating the supply and demand factors of land urbanization can provide a more comprehensive understanding of the driving mechanisms underlying land urbanization in China and other transitional countries, and help decision-makers in these countries formulate more detailed and specific land urbanization policies.</p>","PeriodicalId":55258,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Geographical Science","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139553419","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
