Empirical Analysis on the Influencing Factors of Shanghai Residents’ Tourism Consumption Level

In recent years, with the economic level of our country and the continuous development of people’s consumption concept, residents’ tourism consumption has become a popular trend of consumption. This paper is based on the tourism consumption related data of Shanghai residents in 1996-2015, selecting four main influencing factors of Shanghai third industry gross product, consumer price index, Engel coefficient and traffic cost. Through the establishment of econometric model, the paper didi Multiple linear regression analysis of OLS using R software, getting the estimation of the corresponding parameters. Then for the model, the paper did Multiple collinear test, heteroscedasticity and autocorrelation test and correction. Finally, the conclusion is obtained according to the revised model. By studying the characteristics of tourism consumption level and related data, we find that the third industry gross output and Engel coefficient of Shanghai have a significant impact on the consumption level of Shanghai residents. In order to make some contributions to the economic development of our country, we put forward some countermeasures and suggestions on the development of Shanghai’s tourism.

Research on conservation planning strategy of historic and cultural site islands in Shanghai based on AHP

With the continuous development of Shanghai in the process of internationalisation city construction, a variety of urban problems have emerged. The emergence and conservation planning of historical and cultural landscape site islands in Shanghai has become an important research object in the academic circle. This paper applies the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to the conservation planning strategy of historic and cultural site islands in Shanghai. By establishing protection hierarchy of historic and cultural sites and calculating the weight of elements in each layer, various important factors are ranked. The corresponding protection planning strategy is put forward, which not only provides support for the conservation planning of historic and cultural site islands in Shanghai, but also offers reference for the historical and cultural site islands conservation planning in other cities.

Modelling and Simulating Urban Residential Land Development in Jiading New City, Shanghai

This study develops an agent-based and spatial genetic algorithm framework called Population-driven Urban Land Development (PDULD) to simulate urban land development and population dynamics. In the model, household-life cycles promote their location and relocation desires and, thus, form local housing market demand. Land developers and local governments make optimal use of current land reserves to meet housing demands. Land development in an area is treated as a multi-goal optimization activity. Community cohesion theory is introduced into the model to illustrate the influence of the population on the spatial structure of urban land use. The study uses the Spatial Genetic Algorithm to help find the best land development choices to achieve social, economic, and environmental goals. The results show that the model simulates population distribution quite well and interprets the real land use at a neighborhood level with a reasonable accuracy. A historic data comparison indicates that government policies and increasing land prices have dominated the process of land development in Shanghai based on a case study of Jiading New City.

Evaluation and zoning of various urban land spaces based on restrictive indicators: the case of Shanghai, China

PurposeUsing Shanghai as an example, the purpose of this paper is to perform grade evaluation and zoning for different land use spaces by GIS by identifying the major restrictive factors in current socio-economic development.Design/methodology/approachBased on short plate theory, 11 major restrictive indicators that will restrict socio-economic development in Shanghai are identified, and urban land is divided into four subspaces and the restrictive grade evaluation of urban land subspace is achieved with GIS spatial analysis; then, land development zoning is processed according to the results of the evaluation.FindingsIn all, 11 major restrictive indicators that will restrict socio-economic development in Shanghai are identified. The restrictive grades of the agricultural production, urban construction and ecological protection subspaces are mainly common, weak and weaker, and the relatively strong restrictive grade of industrial development subspace is mainly concentrated in the more developed industrial districts (counties). The areas of the common and good regions of constructive development and ecological development zones account for 87.4 and 98.3 per cent of each total area, respectively, and urban land still has significant development potential in Shanghai.Originality/valueThis paper proposes various urban land space evaluations and zoning strategies based on restrictive indicators and perspectives, enriching the ideas and methods of urban land use evaluation.

The creative spatio-temporal fix: Creative and cultural industries development in Shanghai, China

As the idea of creative city becoming a universal panacea for economic stagnancy and urban boosterism, the heavy dependency on creative fixes has widely spread to cities around the globe through urban networks and neoliberal urban policies. Since the late 1990s, Shanghai has expeditiously embraced the idea of making creative city and enthusiastically promoted the development of creative and cultural industries (CCIs). This research proposes the idea of ‘the creative spatio-temporal fix’ to interpret Shanghai’s CCIs development over the last decade: under an overarching framework of creative entrepreneurial governance, the creative reconfiguration of the built environment (spatial fix) and temporal deferral of crisis and long term speculation on land (re)development (temporal fix) are in place to cope with the crisis of capital accumulation. Two rounds of creative spatio-temporal fix are discerned and epitomised in the case of Red Town, an iconic CCIs zone in Shanghai. Drawing on policy analysis and in-depth fieldworks, this study scrutinises into the creativity of the spatio-temporal fix and the spatiality and temporality of the creative fix in Shanghai. The findings are threefold. First, CCIs development is underwritten by a multi-scalar entrepreneurial network and its alliance with SOEs landlords and private developers. Second, the creativity of the spatio-temporal fix can be seen in the creative institutional design enabling CCIs development and forming an alliance with the SOE landlords, as well as the strategic speculation on the theme of creative city. Third, the spatiality and temporality of the creative fix are manifested in the temporal deferral of the crisis of deindustrialisation and limited spatial reconfiguration at the first stage, and a radical spatial restructuring with a temporal fix introducing financial capital at the second stage.

Research on Shanghai-style Culture's Impact on the Development of Chinese Domestic Luxury Brands - From the Perspective of "Shanghai Tang"

"Shanghai-style culture", which was rooted in the traditional Chinese culture, produced the ,modern urban culture with unique Chinese characteristics after lasting collision and integration with the Western culture. It was inseparable from the development of Shanghai, which was China's first city to have a "capital market". Due to the unique historical background, Shanghai's economic development, social patterns and consumer attitudes contributed to the breeding of domestic luxury brands. As the earliest domestic luxury brand in Shanghai, "Shanghai Tang" has been affected by "Shanghai-style culture" since its creation. This paper attempts to illustrate the direct impact of "Shanghai-style culture" on the brands by analyzing the brand culture as well as the clothing design styles, which are characterized by revival of Chinese traditions and integration with current fashion.In this paper, through the introduction and the first part summarizes the origin and development of local culture, expounds the relationship between the Shanghai style culture and brand culture, through the brand culture influence to the product design style.The second part from the design of color and style reflects the idea of Shanghai style culture influence on design style, from the classical and modern combination of style, color change reflect the influence of the design to the brand.Finally come to the conclusion that the influence of the Shanghai style culture from the design style that extends to the company culture, to the generation of Chinese luxury brand laid a solid cultural foundation.

“Decoupling” Indicators for Evaluation of Urban Low-Carbon Economy Development: a Case Study of Shanghai

Environment are closely related to energy and they are two of the most important issues this century. So the development of a low-carbon economy and the construction of environment friendly society are the only way for the further development of China its own. In this study, “decoupling” indicators for evaluation of a low-carbon economy development are proposed. “Decoupling” indicators of energy consumption and economic growth were selected to reflect the response relationship between economic growth and the changes of resources, including weak, strong and expansive/recessive degree of decoupling. Similarly, “decoupling” indicators of carbon dioxide emissions and economic growth were chosen to reflect the response relationship between economic growth and the changes of environment. Shanghai, in the Eastern China, was selected as a special case. The results showed a change from expansive negative coupling to week decoupling regarding both of energy consumption and carbon emissions in Shanghai during the period 1991-2013, indicating that we have achieved some significant outcome in the process of the low-carbon economy development in Shanghai. However, in view of the possibility of expansive negative coupling, we should continue to make efforts for the development of the low-carbon economy.

With the implementation of a comprehensive two-child policy, assisted reproductive technology finds its wide acceptance in China, and shows good promotion. The paper pointed out the existing problems, and proposed the corresponding improvement suggestions and measures through the investigation of current situation of business development of Shanghai. At the same time, it put forward new idea on the future development of the industry, hoping to break through the existing mechanisms, and providing decision-making reference for the manager.

Modes of land development in Shanghai

Land development modelling and simulation provides critical information and insights for city land resource planning and management. However, studies on simulating urban land development often treat it as a singular and uniform process and neglect place-based decision-making processes and multiple tracks of how urban land is developed. This study attempts to identify the locally embedded, place-based processes of land conversion and redevelopment during the reform period in Shanghai. In doing so, this study conducts in-depth interviews and collects extensive land use and planning data to examine the land development decision-making processes of the city. In conjunction with the content analysis of government documents and urban planning results, this study proposes to frame the current land development of Shanghai into State-led Market-based Land Development, Informal Land Development, State-led Land Redevelopment, State-approved Independent Development, and Megaproject-based Land Development, according to land use types, property rights, and intermediate agencies. By comparing urban planning and actual land use change data, the study delineates the location and estimate magnitude of each of the land development modes in Shanghai. Different from market-based land development systems, the results show that the state interventions in the land market has been prevalent to create a unique government-led land development system with multiple approaches and land use change trajectories in Shanghai. The result explains why current land development modelling and simulation cannot mimic the actual land development process properly. Furthermore, the study provides the empirical basis for new theorization of land development in China.

Study on the Evolvement of Technology Development and Energy Efficiency—A Case Study of the Past 30 Years of Development in Shanghai

Previous research in regional energy efficiency by using macro statistical data has demonstrated that technology development could improve regional energy efficiency. Since the start of reform and opening up in 1978, China has mainly adopted energy import and foreign direct investment to promote economic growth. At the same time, the country has also increased the input of technology and R&D to prompt technological reformation and imported technology absorption. However, there is limited research on the relationship between technology development and energy efficiency. Using the grounded theory method, the authors of this paper study the relationship between technology input-output and energy utilization efficiency in Shanghai over the past 30 years. They conclude that although the tactics of technology import and foreign direct investment can improve energy efficiency in the initial stages of modern industrialization, they cannot improve it continuously. In the more advanced stages of modern industrialization, the improvement of energy efficiency relies not only on increased R&D investment but also on R&D investment structure optimization and independent technological innovation.

Decoupling Elasticity Analysis on Low Carbon Agriculture in Shanghai

This paper discusses the potential of emission abatement in Shanghai in order to achieve low-carbon agriculture in suburbs. The total agricultural carbon emissions (hereinafter to be referred as agro-emission), net agro-emissions, taking into consideration of agricultural activity's contribution to absorb emission, and per capita agro-emission in 2013 are calculated to demonstrate the distribution of emissions cross nine suburbs in Shanghai. The calculation results suggest that suburbs of Pudong, Chongming and Fengxian are the focus for reducing the total agro-emission and net agro-emission, while Fengxian, Jinshan and Songjiang are the top three suburbs need to cut back per capita agro-emission. The structure and characteristics of agricultural production for 1993-2013 in Shanghai are discussed to explain the increase in agricultural carbon emission and possible ways for abatement. The decomposition of emission source and structure also implies that improving energy efficiency and reducing the amount of energy consumption will be the direction for further emission abatement in Shanghai agricultural development. The decoupling elasticity is computed for 1994-2013 using 1992 as base year, and agricultural economic development is found to be weakly decoupled with agro-emission growth in Shanghai. Further, an Environmental Kuznet type curve is estimated to examine the shape of relationship between agro-emission growth and agricultural development using software Stata13.0 The data information on agricultural activities in all suburbs of for 1993-2013 have been used for running the regression, and estimation suggests that agro-emission does have inverse-U shape relationship with agricultural development in Shanghai.

Unnatural deaths in Shanghai from 2000 to 2009: a retrospective study of forensic autopsy cases at the Shanghai Public Security Bureau.

Shanghai is the most developed city in China and has a soaring population. This study uses forensic epidemiology to determine the relationship between unnatural deaths and the development in Shanghai, based on recently released forensic autopsy cases from the 2000s at the Shanghai Public Security Bureau (SPSB). There were 5425 accidental deaths, 2696 homicides, 429 suicides, 186 natural deaths, and 1399 deaths of undetermined cause. There was a male-to-female ratio of 2.02:1, and the average age was 40.9±18.7 years. Traffic accidents (84.2%) were the number one cause of accidental deaths, which decreased during the study period. Sharp force injury (50.6%) was the leading cause of homicides, different from Western countries, where firearms are the leading cause. Hanging (24.5%) was the leading cause of suicides, whereas drug and chemical intoxication was the leading cause in the previous decade; pesticide ingestion decreased in the 2000s. In addition to traffic accidents, manual strangulation was the leading cause of death in childhood fatalities. Children under age 2 were vulnerable to homicides. In the 2000s, there were a large number of drug overdoses, and illegal medical practices and subway-related deaths first appeared in Shanghai. A new type of terrorist attack that involved injecting people with syringes in public places was reflected in the SPSB archives. The forensic epidemiology and changes in unnatural deaths in this decade reflected their relationship with the law, policy and changes in Shanghai. Illegal medical practices, subway-related deaths and terrorist attacks were closely related to the development in Shanghai. Identifying the risks of unnatural deaths will improve public health.

Strategic capabilities and the emergence of the global factory: Omron in China

Omron Shanghai provides a detailed case study of a multinational subsidiary's long-term evolution. The study assesses three streams of international business literature that emphasize the seemingly competing roles of parent firm strategy, national institutions or local management in the development of subsidiaries. It looks at each business function separately to reveal which capabilities were effectively transferred from Japan to China. In tracing Omron Shanghai's development from international joint venture into wholly owned enterprise and then global factory, it is the strategic intent of the parent multinational corporations that emerges as the consistent formative influence on management practices and capabilities.

Dukes and Nobles Above, Scholars Below: Beijing’s Old Booksellers’ District Liulichang 琉璃廠, 1769-1941—and Its Influence on 20th-Century Shanghai’s Book Trade

Books and their production were a key part of the late imperial commodity economy and of the gentry lifestyle that eventually extended into the Republican (1912-1949) era. Liulichang, the capital’s bookselling district, was positioned from the mid-eighteenth century onward as the empire’s premier book emporium. It remained well known to intellectuals and book merchants during late Qing and Republican China as well. In the first three sections of the essay, I show how this important commodity marketplace reflected and influenced late imperial Chinese society on cultural, commercial, and manufacturing levels. Liulichang is seen to have been a cultural center whose essential conservatism can be found in its approach to the commerce and publishing at its core. Both book commerce and publishing are shown to have been enhanced, but not transformed, by the technological options at hand. In the article’s fourth section, I suggest not only how Liulichang’s book dealers had a direct and personal influence on the development of Shanghai’s antiquarian book market, but also that Liulichang served as a cultural prototype for Republican Shanghai’s Wenhuajie (Culture-and-Education Streets, or simply Booksellers’ District). Just as each district functioned as a kind of bellwether for literate, educated consumers of the period in which it was prominent, so too, I argue, Beijing’s booksellers, printers, and publishers paved the way for those who emerged at Shanghai at the beginning of the twentieth century.

Building Biotech in Shanghai: A Perspective of Regional Innovation System

This paper examines the development of biotech in Shanghai using the perspective of regional innovation system (RIS). Three important components of RIS, namely land, human capital and the regional system, are investigated. The development of these components has to be understood in the specific Chinese context. For the land, the role of Zhangjiang High-Tech Park Development Corporation is discussed with reference to the land development mechanism after the establishment of Chinese land markets. For human capital, the policy of the central and local governments in talent concentration is analysed. For the regional system, the spatial distribution of biotech in Shanghai is introduced to create interconnected innovation spaces in the metropolitan region. The paper enriches our understanding of RIS in the context of biotech development in Shanghai.

Urban Land Expansion and Spatial Dynamics in Globalizing Shanghai

Urban land expansion in China has attracted considerable scholarly attention. However, more work is needed to apply spatial modeling to understanding the mechanisms of urban growth from both institutional and physical perspectives. This paper analyzes urban expansion in Shanghai and its development zones (DZs). We find that, as nodes of global-local interface, the DZs are the most significant components of urban growth in Shanghai, and major spatial patterns of urban expansion in Shanghai are infilling and edge expansion. We apply logistic regression, geographically weighted logistic regression (GWLR) and spatial regime regression to investigate the determinants of urban land expansion including physical conditions, state policy and land development. Regressions reveal that, though the market has been an important driving force in urban growth, the state has played a predominant role through the implementation of urban planning and the establishment of DZs to fully capitalize on globalization. We also find that differences in urban growth dynamics exist between the areas inside and outside of the DZs. Finally, this paper discusses policies to promote sustainable development in Shanghai.

Analysis of geoenvironmental hazards in urban underground space development in Shanghai

Underground space is becoming increasingly more utilized in the fast urbanization process of Shanghai. However, many geoenvironmental hazards, including land subsidence, slip flow, methane gas, piping, and quicksand, are occurring more frequently, as underground space development enters the state of “big, deep, long, fast, and dense.” In this paper, based on our investigation and studies of construction project cases, we analyze the possible factors causing geoenvironmental hazards and propose corresponding measures for their prevention. From the viewpoint of earth system science, the geoenvironmental hazards are caused by anthropogenic factors coupled with natural factors. Shanghai is built over layers of soft soil that were deposited during the Holocene. The paleogeographical environment of the Holocene produced soft soil with high water content, large void ratio, high sensitivity, thixotropy, low shear strength, and high compressibility; these characteristics lead to a geoenvironment that can be easily disturbed by underground engineering construction. To achieve sustainable development of underground space, a series of prevention and control measures are presented, especially awareness of the need for geoenvironmental protection and risk management should be enhanced, as well as incorporating technology including global positioning system, geographic information system, and synthetic aperture radar interferometry, and information construction in underground development projects.
