Author:LUO Yan; JIANG Guoxiang; CHEN Shaojie; LIU Jing

ABSTRACT: With the establishment of the territorial planning system, consensus has been reached on the importance of the evaluations of both the ecological environment bearing capacity and spatial development suitability （i.e., "dual evaluations"） and the main functional area in territorial planning. This paper puts forward the concept of "dual evaluation +", explores the extended application research of "dual evaluation" in the areas of overall planning, three-line delineation, ecosystem restoration, global disaster prevention and mitigation, and effectively exerts its basic supporting role in territorial planning. At the same time, the paper proposes to play the strategic leading role of the main functional area, strengthen its coordinated implementation together with regional major strategies and regional coordination strategies, and stress its guiding role in spatial pattern optimization, resource element allocation, and supporting policy formulation. Through the cognitive evaluation of "dual evaluations" and main functional areas and the suggestion of optimization of their application, it provides reference for the effective formulation and implementation of territorial planning.

♦ BLUE-GREEN SPACE PATTERN AND INDICATOR SYSTEM IN TERRITORIAL PLANNING

Author:HUANG Duo; YI Fangrong; WANG Sizhe; WEI Huijie; WANG Shifu

ABSTRACT: In territorial planning, blue-green space is an important issue in the implementation of the ecological priority strategy. Its planning and design strategies target at developing a reasonable ecological structure and pattern, which is an important basis for technical issues, such as urban water disaster management and ecological protection. This paper first proposes a blue-green space coupling framework based on the ecosystem service system. Based on that, it establishes a multi-scale blue-green space planning and design system and spatial pattern corresponding to the territorial planning system. On macro scale, emphasis is laid on the construction of a global blue-green space pattern; on medium scale, focuses are put on the blue-green space network of the centralized urban construction area and the improvement of the quality of urban ecological space; on micro scale, attention is paid to the design guidance of the blue-green space of the water body and waterfront at the detailed design level. At the same time, this paper summarizes and develops a blue-green space control system, including water surface rate control, blue line control, and connectivity index control in line with the goals of blue-green space planning and construction control.

♦ CONCEPT, IDEOLOGICAL BASIS, AND DEVELOPMENT SCHEME OF URBAN

Author:YE Zhongnan; WU Zhiqiang

ABSTRACT: Based on the current realistic problems faced by urban development and planning, urban diagnosis is proposed as an important bridge between planning theory and practice. Combining the experience of diagnostic work in medical and other disciplines with the characteristics of urban planning itself, the concept, ideological basis and future development of urban diagnosis are considered, pointing out that urban diagnosis is the interpretation of urban development laws in urban cognition and problem analysis, and is a necessary prerequisite for planning and policy formulation. At the level of ideological foundation, urban diagnosis needs to absorb clinical thinking, evidence-based thinking and medical history analysis in medical diagnosis on the one hand, and to return to the essential understanding of the city in planning by rooting in the established rational thinking of modern urban planning, urban life theory and attention to the relationship between urban form and flow on the other hand. From the perspective of future development, the main directions of urban diagnosis development include the in-depth integration of new technologies, the strengthening of the independence of diagnostic work, and the systematic construction of urban diagnostics.

♦EXPLORATION OF THE COMPILATION METHOD OF REGULATORY DETAILED PLANNING FACING THE DEMAND OF INNOVATION-DRIVEN ECONOMY

Author:WANG Yiran; ZHANG Jingxiang; GENG Lei

ABSTRACT: As innovation has become the core driving force of a new round of urban development, it has brought new economic development logic and industrial space demand, stimulated the iterative upgrade of urban space, and also put forward new requirements for urban space governance. The current regulatory detailed planning system can no longer fully respond to the needs of innovation-driven economic development. Faced with the new logical relationship between regulatory detailed planning and urban space, after analyzing the new characteristics of urban space development under the direction of innovation-driven economic development, this paper focuses on the specific contradictions of demand and control under the escalation of innovation demand, and suggests the governance-oriented changes in the formulation of regulatory detailed planning. Furthermore, it summarizes typical local practical experience and proposes corresponding policy recommendations for the three main objects of spatial governance, i.e., function, index, and space, so as to provide reference for future regulatory detailed planning and governance under the background of innovation-driven development.

♦ RESEARCH ON THE MECHANISM OF RURAL SPATIAL INVOLUTION IN THE TRANSITION PERIOD

Author:WANG Yong; LI Guangbin

ABSTRACT: After a brief explanation for the deduction and connotation of "involution", this paper puts forward the concept of "rural spatial involution" and analyzes its internal mechanism through embedding the agricultural space, rural residential space, and rural industrial space into the scenes of historical changes. It shows that the social security and wealth functions attached to the agricultural land, as well as the cost of land transfer and consolidation, hinder the process of "de-involution" of the agricultural space, and the inherent defects of rural homestead system results in co-existence of village construction land expansion and village hollowing. After the rural industrialization of "land-based enterprises", bottom-up informal land development based on land rent continues the decentralized layout of the rural industry.

♦ DEVELOPMENT PROCESS, LOGIC, AND PROSPECT OF RURAL HUMAN SETTLEMENTS AFTER REFORM AND OPENING-UP

Author:WANG Kaiping；FENG Yue；ZHANG Yunlu

ABSTRACT: The development of rural human settlements has faced unprecedented opportunities and challenges since the reform and opening-up. The in-depth study on the development characteristics of rural human settlements is conducive to revealing the inherent laws of the evolution of rural human settlements in China and providing reference and basis for the construction of rural human settlements in the future. From the perspective of "self/hetero-organization theory", this paper reviews the development process of rural human settlements since the reform and opening-up, and divides it into four stages of imbalance, ambiguity, transformation, and improvement according to relevant policies and characteristics of the times. By analyzing the evolution path of self-organization and hetero-organization, the paper discusses the interaction between internal actors as well as that between internal and external actors in rural human settlements, and further discusses the logic of "top-down" hetero-organization and "bottom-up" self-organization.In the end, under the guidance of the logical framework, the paper puts forward the optimization path and development guidance for the three driving factors, with the hope to improve the rural human settlements in the new era.

♦ CORRELATION BETWEEN CHILDREN'S OUTDOOR ACTIVITY BEHAVIOR AND PUBLIC SPACE IN COMMUNITIES OF MOUNTAIN CITIES: A CASE STUDY OF SHANGDATIANWAN COMMUNITY IN YUZHONG DISTRICT, CHONGQING

Author:HUANG Ling; YIN Xuemei

ABSTRACT: Based on typical empirical cases and field observations, this paper explores the interrelationship between children's outdoor activity behavior and the environment in old communities of mountain cities at the level of the community and typical nodes using overlay analysis and behavioral scenario analysis. Based on that, it proposes child-friendly renewal ideas for old communities in mountain cities. The study finds that there is a strong correlation between children's outdoor activity behavior and the spatial environment in old communities of mountain cities, i.e., the space is limited yet full of fun, and it is in shortage of facilities yet has flexible original space, which gives children more possibilities for self-creation and discovery. Accordingly, this paper puts forward a new perception of child-friendliness in old communities of mountain cities - "limited friendship" and then proposes a local child-friendly renewal idea from three aspects: in terms of renewal principle, it should be rigid and suitable for improving other qualities and resilience; in terms of renewal methods, less attention should be paid to intervention and regulation yet more attention should be paid to differences in communities; in terms of the concept of renewal, it should be a "half-planning" system and advocate planning accompanying design and growth of children.

KEYWORDS: child-friendly; mountain city; old community renewal; correlation between outdoor activity behavior and public space; half-planning

♦ TRADITIONAL PLANNING IDEAS AND METHODS OF THE PROVINCIAL CAPITAL AND PREFECTURAL CITIES OF TAIWAN IN THE LATE QING DYNASTY

Author:SUN Shimeng

ABSTRACT：Taizhong （Taichung） City is the last newly planned and built provincial capital city on a brand-new site in the Qing Dynasty, while Taibei （Taipei） City is also a newly planned and built prefectural city in around the same period. The siting and planning of both cities demonstrate the rules and regulations of that era, presenting the final features of the traditional city planning system in ancient China. This paper reviews the planning and construction process of these two cities, summarizes the traditional planning ideas and methods they had used from the perspectives of siting, scale, shaping, orientation, arrangement, and practice, and concludes the representativeness and particularity of both cities through comparative studies.

♦ FORERUNNER, PIONEER, AND LEADER: THOUGHTS ON PROF. SHEN YULIN'S EDUCATIONAL AND ACADEMIC SPIRITS

Author:ZENG Jian

ABSTRACT: Prof. SHEN Yulin （1921-2013） was a forerunner, pioneer, leader, and famous teacher of urban planning in New China. It's been eight years since he left us. Whenever we pass by the place where he once taught and worked, the scene of his guiding us in our study, teaching, and work will arise in our mind. On the occasion of his centennial birthday, I look back upon the years when I followed him to study, and deeply appreciate his persistent and serious teaching attitude and his character as a famous teacher. Reviewing his achievements in urban planning in more than 40 cities in New China, we can find his academic thoughts of absorbing the strengths of others and applying Western learning in Chinese practice. Through studying his textbooks and works, we can find his diversified and comprehensive scientific spirit and theoretical vision going beyond time and space. I also admire him more for his open-minded and modest elder demeanor, profound knowledge, and noble ethics.
