Author:Li Zhang, Duan Xiaodi, Cao Lei

Edited by Liu Jinxin / Proofread by Liang Sisi

DOI: 10.20113/j.ccpr.20230302a

Abstract:Based on the perspective of heritage tourism, this paper selected Dali Ancient City, one of the first group of national historic and cultural cities, located in Yunnan Province, China, as case study to analyze the motivation, satisfaction, and loyalty of tourists to national historic and cultural cities with concentrations of ethnic minorities. Through the questionnaire survey on the experience of tourists during their stay in Dali Ancient City, the study identified two motivations related to their visit: cultural motivation and multi-factor motivation, such as delicious food, enjoying holidays. By identifying and understanding the type, motivation, behavior, perception, and experience of tourists in national historic and cultural cities, it was hoped to provide reference for destination management and formulation of corresponding countermeasures. In addition, this study also discussed how tourist motivation analysis contributed to higher satisfaction and loyalty of tourists to a destination.

Accessibility Assessment of Medical Facilities Based on the Hierarchical Medical System: A Case Study of Shenzhen

Author:Zhuang Haobin, Yang Xiaochun

Edited by Qian Fang / Proofread by Mao Qizhi

DOI: 10.20113/j.ccpr.20230303a

Abstract:At present, the hierarchical medical system is widely promoted in China, and the reasonable allocation of medical resources and equal medical services have become important research topics in the field of urban planning. However, it is rare to see studies on the allocation of medical resources from the perspective of spatial accessibility based on the hierarchy of medical facilities and more refined spatial units of population. This research refines the population data from general to residential buildings in urban villages based on census data of buildings. By examining Shenzhen through a 2SFCA (2-step floating catchment area), this research evaluates the accessibility of community and regional medical facilities and the spatial matching at various referral rates by implementing GIS network analysis. The main findings are as follows. ① The overall development of medical facilities in Shenzhen is currently lagged back among the first-tier cities in China, and there is a discrepancy between administrative districts in terms of the accessibility of medical facilities. ② Under the current conditions in Shenzhen, the best spatial matching can be achieved only at the referral rate of 70% – 80%, indicating weak primary medical resources in Shenzhen. In the future layout and construction of medical facilities, it is necessary to classify and grade the communities and increase the construction of medical facilities in communities with lagging medical standards. In addition, the treatment capacity of community medical services should be improved and the treatment of minor diseases in senior hospitals should be evacuated, so that the referral rate can be controlled at an appropriate level to achieve a balanced allocation and efficient use of medical resources.

Keywords:2SFCA; spatial accessibility; medical facilities; spatial matching

Research Progress on Park-and-Ride Facilities in China and Abroad

Author:Zhang Ying, Zhou Guoyan

Translated by Li Caige / Proofread by Liu Jian

DOI: 10.20113/j.ccpr.20230304a

Abstract:Park-and-Ride (P&R), referring to the transfer between private cars and public transportation, is a public policy and travel mode that advocates green travel to reduce traffic congestion in big cities. Through an analysis on the development and focus of P&R research in China and abroad, this paper examines the research progress and explores the research trend on P&R from the perspective of travel mode choice, transfer demand forecast, location planning, operational management, and benefit evaluation. It points out that, compared with the research abroad, the P&R research in China is insufficient on the subjects of transportation planning and benefit evaluation. It proposes that, in future, research should focus more on planning, management, and benefit evaluation of P&R, so as to enhance the intelligent management of transportation system and promote the implementation of policies supporting P&R development.

Keywords:Park-and-Ride (P&R); transportation management; public transportation

Public Transportation Travel Behavior Analysis of Low-Mobility Individuals Before and During COVID-19: A Case Study in Taiyuan City, China

Author:Zhang Tao, Jia Qinglin, Jin Minjie, Yang Yang, Cheng Gang

Edited by Li Min / Proofread by Liu Jiayan

DOI: 10.20113/j.ccpr.20230305a

Abstract:The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has brought unprecedented challenges to urban transportation. During the pandemic, public transportation, as an integral part of urban transportation, must ensure the safety of passengers, particularly low-mobility individuals (LMIs): older people, individuals with disabilities, and low-income individuals who prefer getting around by it. Based on passengers’ travel behavior and psychological characteristics, this paper analyzes the public transportation travel of LMIs before and during the pandemic using a hybrid survey method that combines a face-to-face survey and a supplementary telephone interview. The results show that LMIs differ from the general public in public transportation travel characteristics, and the three subgroups also differ from each other. Accordingly, the conditions in the context of the pandemic should be fully considered to meet LMIs’ demand for public transportation and ensure their safety when relevant policies are formulated.

Mechanism of Factors Influencing Pedestrian Walking from the Socio-Ecological Perspective: An Empirical Study of Shenzhen

Author:Sun Yu, Dai Donghui, Wang Yaowu

Translated by Liu Jinxin / Proofread by Liu Jiayan

DOI: 10.20113/j.ccpr.20230306a

Abstract:The health significance of walking has become increasingly prominent. To better understand how factors influence behavior is a necessary basis for effective behavioral intervention. In view of the complexity of human behavior, this paper explores the influencing factors of pedestrian walking and their influencing mechanism under different behavioral purposes from the socio-ecological perspective, based on the empirical data of Shenzhen. The analysis reveals that: factors in each dimension interact to have a joint influence on walking activities, among which the influences of behavioral habit, physical environment, and policy environment are more prominent; the differentiation of influencing factors under different behavioral purposes is relatively obvious in physical environment dimension; the comprehensive performance of factors is more prominent in physical environment dimension, which is effective, especially under the intervention of policy environment factors; behavioral intervention practices should be integrated with the respective characteristics of behavior psychology, social environment, physical environment, and policy environment, so as to maximize the intervention effects.

A Study on Village Planning Methods for Large-Scale Agricultural Areas Under the Demand of Farmers’ Homesteads Reform: Taking Harbin as an Example

Author:Du Lizhu, Li Langdi

Translated by Qian Fang / Proofread by Tang Yan

DOI: 10.20113/j.ccpr.20230307a

Abstract:Farmers’ homesteads reform is an important measure to improve land use efficiency and achieve high-quality development of villages. And village planning under the background of territorial and spatial planning is one of the important ways to implement this measure. In Harbin, the large-scale agricultural development is an obvious characteristic of its rural areas. With the rapid agricultural modernization and industrialization of Harbin, the rural population is constantly migrating with a large amount of rural land is left idle, and the phenomenon of “hollow village” in rural areas gets increasingly serious. Therefore, it is urgent to carry out the reform of the homestead system to integrate resources and promote the land use efficiency. Responding to the characteristic of rural development in Harbin, this paper suggests to implement the homestead reform through village planning. Balancing the benefits of the country, the collectives, and farmers, it proposes to restrict the size of homestead through the control method with two planning lines, i.e., the homestead control line of the village and the single-family homestead control line. What’s more, the paper also suggests to replan the saved land and explore multiple ways of land use in large-scale agricultural areas.

Pendulum: The 70-Year Evolution of the Old Residential Area Regeneration in China

Author:Ran Aobo, Liu Jiayan

Translated by Li Min / Proofread by Liang Sisi

DOI: 10.20113/j.ccpr.20230308

Abstract:Old residential area regeneration has long been integral to China’s urban planning, construction, and governance. This paper divides its history in China into four periods based on the policy and its positioning in the socio-economic pattern: slow development as a non-productive sector (1949 to late 1970s), housing marketization under unified planning (late 1970s to early 2000s), a livelihood-oriented transitional period (early 2000s to early 2010s), and a large-scale comprehensive project (early 2010s to the present). It summarizes the positioning, purpose, type, actor, and research characteristics in each period and points out that the old residential area regeneration in China has always been in dynamic interaction between the state, market, and society, presenting complicated characteristics. This process is like a pendulum oscillating between the dual attributes of urban regeneration and housing policies, and relevant studies exploring the Chinese path since 1949 are featured by pragmatism and policy implication.
