Conceptual basis of architectural and urban planning heritage development in ethnic regions of Ukraine

The article describes the results of the philosophical and methodological analysis of the definitions - "formation", "concept" and "network" in the context of the preservation of architectural and urban heritage in ethnic regions of Ukraine. The relationship between these definitions and modern ideas about sustainable development and self-organization is revealed by their postmodern interpretation and architectural-sociological orientation. On this basis, two macrocosmic principles - the tectonicity of the formation of cultural focuses and the cyclicity nature of the sustainable development of ethnic regions, and two microcosmic principles - the architectonicity self-organization of the areas of these focuses’ and the ornamentality of their network is theoretically substantiated. These principles form the philosophical foundations of the formation of regional networks of historical centers of architectural and urban heritage on the territory of Ukraine. The principle of cyclicity reflects the recurrence of periodic changes in natural phenomena and stages of sustainable development of settlements and communities. The essence of the principle of tectonicity consists in the non-accidental placement of the overwhelming majority of focuses’ of architectural and urban heritage, which are provincial cities and towns, outside the zones of tectonic rupture dislocations and geopathogenic zones. The principle of architectonicity, which connects the natural and artificial environment, regulates the location of individual focuses’ and areas outside of fully urbanized territories, between highways and railways of national and international importance. The natural component of the architectonicity principle is rooted in the desire of a large part of historical provincial cities, towns, and villages to be located in a functionally and aesthetically attractive landscape environment - on the coasts of seas, lakes, and rivers, on the tops and slopes of hills, against the background of forest areas, etc. The principle of ornamentality integrates macrocosmic cyclicity and tectonicity with microcosmic architectonicity. It has a multi-layered structure, contains potentials, and becomes a regulator of the formation and sustainable development of the investigated network at all levels of its architectonical structure.

Strengthening the Consciousness of the Chinese National Community to Promote High-Quality Development in Ethnic Regions

The formation and development of the consciousness of the Chinese national community cannot be separated from the great power of all ethnic groups bravely moving forward and closely uniting. Promoting high-quality development in ethnic regions cannot be separated from the spiritual support of all ethnic groups striving together and steadily moving forward. To implement the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and respond to the call of the country for rural revitalization, we formed a research team to understand the basic situation in the Ruoergai area and the living conditions of local farmers and herdsmen.

We also gained insight into the contributions made in the region towards solidifying the consciousness of the Chinese national community, as well as the efforts made to promote high-quality development in the ethnic regions.

A Research on the Quality of Inner Mongolia Ethnic Education in the Context of BRI

The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is China's grand strategy to strengthen regional collaboration and promote the prosperity of the world economy. The development of ethnic education provides an opportunity for countries along the Belt and Road to enhance their economic and political trust and to strengthen the educational growth of ethnic minorities. With the rapid economic and social development of Inner Mongolia, the existing ethnic education system is facing challenges and is unable to meet the demand for talents for the rapid economic and social development along the Belt and Road strategy. From the perspective of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Theory and Quality Management Theory of Ethnic Higher Education, this study concludes that the level of development of ethnic higher education is one of the important indicators of the overall development of ethnic regions. The study proposes the following conclusions: The institutions of higher education for ethnic minorities in Inner Mongolia should establish the concept of quality in higher education while taking into account the situation of the region and ethnic groups. The obstacles such as insufficient investment in teaching and learning, loss of human resources and old-fashioned teaching philosophy to achieve the high-quality development of ethnic higher education should be properly recognized. Inner Mongolia Ethnic Education in the Context of BRI is going to contribute to the long-term development and prosperity of the country and ethnic regions.

This proved a crucial factor to have formed a new social stratum in the region throughout the 1920s and 1930s. The latter was shaped by young Mongols to have undergone training not only in China but also in Japan, Mongolia, and the USSR.

From “Blood Transfusion” to “Harmonious Development”: The Political Economy of Fiscal Allocations to China's Ethnic Regions

For six decades, China's central authorities have promoted development in ethnic regions through special fiscal allocations with the idea that economic development is the key to national integration and inter-ethnic harmony. Yet, inter-ethnic tensions and violence persist in China. Focusing on historical changes to fiscal allocations as the principal policy instrument used by Beijing to promote development in ethnic areas, this analysis finds these changes mirror broad shifts in the country's national development strategy. As the study argues, this pattern reflects an approach to development policy in ethnic regions whereby policies serve central objectives consistent with a policy process for determining the fiscal allocations to ethnic regions that has been both centrally concentrated and non-participatory. With evidence that this “non-engaging” approach may be exacerbating ethnic tensions, Beijing has made efforts to introduce more “inclusive” approaches to determining policies for ethnic regions; however, whether these approaches will be institutionalized remains unclear.
