Assessment of Localized Targets of Sustainable Development Goals and Future Development on Hainan Island

Hainan Island in southern China has strong ecological systems and natural resources relevant to multiple Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The island has been focusing on economic development and building a national park and a free trade port to improve the economy and people’s lives. However, current research on Hainan’s SDGs has mainly focused on urban-related indicators (SDG11), resulting in an incomplete evaluation across SDGs. It is necessary to establish a comprehensive assessment framework that incorporates a greater number of indicators for Sustainable Development Goals in Hainan. Based on the United Nations Sustainable Development Assessment System and the current situation in Hainan, a localized study has been conducted on indicators for Sustainable Development Goals 1–4 and 6–11. Our analysis of target scores, SDG scores, and SDG index scores shows the following: (1) The sustainable development of Hainan Island has significantly improved since 2015, with SDGs 1, 3, and 10 showing the largest improvement; (2) most cities and counties have increased their SDG index scores, with Sanya City replacing Haikou City as the top scorer in 2021; and (3) the sustainable development levels are unevenly distributed, with high levels in the north and south, stable levels in the east, and low levels in the central and western regions. Policies, such as the “Haicheng Wending” comprehensive economic circle, are promoting integration between cities and counties. The study provides a localized evaluation framework and methodology for SDGs assessment at the regional level that can serve as a reference for similar work on sustainable development in similar regions and tropical islands worldwide.

A New Inquiry into the Ideological and Political Education of College Students in the Context of Free Trade Port

Abstract Ideological and political education is the fundamental guarantee to realize the goal and direction of college students’ talent training, and the key factor of Hainan free trade port construction is talent. Therefore, this paper carries out a new exploration of the ideological and political education of college students based on the background of free trade ports and selects the SPOC hybrid teaching model to carry out the ideological and political education of college students. Using the AHP-FCE evaluation mechanism, we construct the AHP three-level evaluation indexes and establish the FCE evaluation factor set. By calculating the affiliation matrix and hierarchical weight vector of the three-level index set, we make a comprehensive evaluation of the feasibility and effectiveness of the SPOC hybrid teaching model in ideological and political teaching and prove that it can improve students’ ideological and political performance and cultivate talents. In this paper, we conducted experiments in five colleges and universities and proved that students’ performance in ideology and politics under the SPOC hybrid teaching model increased from only 60 passing marks to more than 75 marks per capita. The teachers’ teaching time of ideology and politics also increased by at least 5 hours and at most 7 hours based on the original one. It can be seen that the SPOC teaching model applied to the ideological and political education of college students can significantly improve the ideological and political achievements of students, and can provide a steady stream of high-quality talents for the construction of the Hainan free trade port.

FlexPES is a soft X-ray beamline on the 1.5 GeV storage ring at MAX IV Laboratory, Sweden, providing horizontally polarized radiation in the 40-1500 eV photon energy range and specializing in high-resolution photoelectron spectroscopy, fast X-ray absorption spectroscopy and electron-ion/ion-ion coincidence techniques. The beamline is split into two branches currently serving three endstations, with a possibility of adding a fourth station at a free port. The refocusing optics provides two focal points on each branch, and enables either focused or defocused beam on the sample. The endstation EA01 at branch A (Surface and Materials Science) is dedicated to surface- and materials-science experiments on solid samples at ultra-high vacuum. It is well suited not only to all flavours of photoelectron spectroscopy but also to fast (down to sub-minute) high-resolution X-ray absorption measurements with various detectors. Branch B (Low-Density Matter Science) has the possibility to study gas-phase/liquid samples at elevated pressures. The first endstation of this branch, EB01, is a mobile setup for various ion-ion and electron-ion coincidence techniques. It houses a versatile reaction microscope, which can be used for experiments during single-bunch or multi-bunch delivery. The second endstation, EB02, is based on a rotatable chamber with an electron spectrometer for photoelectron spectroscopy studies on primarily volatile targets, and a number of peripheral setups for sample delivery, such as molecular/cluster beams, metal/semiconductor nanoparticle beams and liquid jets. This station can also be used for non-UHV photoemission studies on solid samples. In this paper, the optical layout and the present performance of the beamline and all its endstations are reported.

The Importance of Structuring Relationships Between Local Governments and Business Entities in The Perspective of State Administrative Law in Batam City, Riau Islands

This article explains the importance of structuring the relationship between local government and local business entities from the perspective of state administrative law in Batam City, Riau Archipelago. This study used a qualitative research method, in which several relevant sources obtained were analyzed using descriptive analysis to be able to explain and answer the research questions as a whole. The findings of this study indicate that the dynamics of the dualism of authority that occurs between the Batam City Government and the Batam Concession Agency have violated several principles of good governance, namely those relating to the principle of legal certainty, the principle of not mixing authority, and the principle of implementing the public interest. In the process, to overcome the dualism of authority that occurs, it is necessary to integrate the Free Trade Areas (FTA) of Batam, Bintan, and Karimun with the Free Port Concession Agency (FPCA) by placing the authority of the FPCA under the control of the Governor of the Riau Archipelago Province. Therefore, to adopt a better possibility of the findings of this study, it is very important to immediately amend Government Regulation Number 46 of 2007 concerning the Free Trade Zone and Free Harbor of Batam as amended several times, most recently by Government Regulation Number 62 of 2019 concerning the Second Amendment on Government Regulation Number 46 of 2007 concerning Free Trade Zones and Free Ports.

Study on Spatial and Temporal Distribution of Nutrient Salts in Typical Seaward Rivers in Hainan Island

Hainan Island, China’s second largest island, is located in the tropics and its rivers are significantly affected by precipitation. With the construction of free trade port with Chinese characteristics, Hainan Island’s industry, agriculture, tourism and urbanization have developed in an all-round way. With the rapid development of economy, water environment ecology has been destroyed. Based on the two seasons of drought and rain, this paper took Ningyuan River and Wanquan River as the research object to study the spatial and temporal distribution of nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients in the rivers entering the sea in Hainan, and found that the concentration of nutrients in Ningyuan River was higher than that in Wanquan River. The total nitrogen pollution in dry season was higher than that in rainy season, and that in tributaries was higher than that in main stream. The maximum nitrogen content in Ningyuan River reached 2.99 mg/L and 2.37 mg/L in the dry season and rainy season, and human activities were the main reason for the increase of nutrient concentration.

Особенности Свободного порта Владивосток как преференциального режима-территории

The article presents an analysis of the features of the Free Port of Vladivostok. It belongs to a small number of relatively successful Russian preferential regimes-territories and this alone attracts special attention. It not only makes a due contribution to the urgently needed “turn to the East” under Western sanctions through transport services for cooperation with friendly countries of the Pacific region, but also actually ensures the restoration and further socio-economic development of the Russian Far East, the growth of the level and quality of life of its population.

The Transit Part of the Commercial Port of Vladivostok: Its Role and Significance in the Region's Economy, the 1920s

The article is devoted to a little-studied chapter of the economic history of the Soviet Far East in the early 1920s, directly related to the history of Russia's largest port on the Pacific Ocean. The authors examine the measures taken by the Center and the regional government body — the Dalrevkom — to return Vladivostok the role of the most important transport and logistics hub. The Transit Part of the Commercial Port of Vladivostok was a means of solving this problem. It was based on the pre-revolutionary experience of the 'Manchurian Transit' that made Vladivostok the main port not only for Priamurye, but also for north-eastern provinces of China (Manchuria). The article is based on archival documents, some of which are introduced by the authors into scientific circulation for the first time. The focus is on the period of formation of the Transit Part in 1924–1928. The authors show the process of formation of the regulatory framework and draw attention to the interaction of central and local authorities in the organization of the Transit Part of the Port of Vladivostok. The researchers come to the conclusion that the project implemented in the mid-1920s was based on a generalization of the already existing successful experience in organizing 'interim warehouses' at Egersheld (Vladivostok) owned by the Chinese Eastern Railway, as well as on the ideas underlying the unrealized project of Free Port of Vladivostok. The prospects for studying the topic are connected with further development of the problem in the framework of an independent research project.

Multi-scenario simulation of land use/cover change and carbon storage assessment in Hainan coastal zone from perspective of free trade port construction

Accurate prediction of future Land Use/Cover Change (LULCC) and its impact on ecosystem carbon storage is of great scientific significance for regional land use decision making and carbon management. However, there are few previous studies that combine spatial and temporal scales to explore the impact of future land use changes on ecosystem carbon storage in coastal zones at the provincial scale. Taking the coastal zone of Hainan Island as an example, Landsat TM (OLI) data from 1990, 2000, 2010 and 2020 were used as the main data sources to analyze the spatial and temporal evolution of land use from 1990 to 2020. The GeoSOS-FLUS model was used to predict land use patterns under baseline, development priority and ecological priority scenarios in 2030. Based on land use data, ArcGIS and Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Trade-offs (InVEST) models were used to evaluate the carbon storage of ecosystems from 1990 to 2030, to explore the spatial and temporal evolution of LULCC and response of the LULCC to carbon storage, and to reveal the process and mechanism of the impact of the complex land use change process on the carbon sink service function of regional ecosystems in tropical and subtropical coastal zones. The results showed that: 1) From 1990 to 2020, the area of cropland, forest land, grassland and unused land decreased, while the area of water and built-up land increased. Unused land and cropland area continues to decrease, built-up land continues to increase. 2) LULCC has led to a continuous decrease in regional carbon storage over 30 years, reaching 1.5 × 106 t, with an annual change rate of 5.0 × 104 t/a. The extensive expansion of built-up land and the degradation of forest land are significant reasons for the decrease in carbon density, and “unused land→grassland” is the most obvious reason in the carbon storage increase. “Grassland→forest land (artificial)" is the most significant mapping reason in the decrease of carbon storage. The spatial and temporal characteristics of regional carbon storage showed a significant positive correlation with the region, and the wetland and mangrove areas in the southwest and northeast directions were the high-high concentration areas of carbon storage. 3) The built-up land in 2020–2030 shows different degrees of expansion in the baseline, development priority and ecological priority scenarios, with an increase of 1.94%, 2.13% and 0.70% respectively, and the development priority scenario has the largest increase. The cropland showed a shrinking trend in 3 simulated scenarios, and the area decreased by 0.87%, 0.97% and 0.87%, respectively. 4) The regional carbon storage in 2020–2030 decreases significantly under the baseline and development priority scenarios, at 1.29 × 105 t and 2.45 × 105 t respectively, while it increases significantly under the ecological priority scenario, at 1.34 × 105 t. The ecological priority scenario can effectively enhance the carbon sink capacity and control the reduction of cropland area. Optimizing the land use structure, controlling the growth rate of built-up land and increasing the area of forest land can have a positive effect on the development and use of coastal zone space and the carbon cycle.

Pricing and redesign decisions for global supply chain of free trade port based on the complex system

The construction of the Hainan Free Trade Port (HFTP) is proceeding step by step. With the closing time in 2025, companies from all over the world have begun to notice the importance of the HFTP. Many companies have begun to consider rebuilding their supply chain networks with HFTP as an important node, thus forming a free trade port supply chain. As a result, HFTP has formed a complex system focused on the global supply chain. This paper constructs a dual-channel supply chain networks scenario with a single product manufacturer leading pricing based on complex system perspective. In the context of whether to choose the Free Trade Port Blockchain Platform (FTPBCP), using the traditional distribution channel as a reference, the Stackelberg game strategy is used to analyze the supply chain pricing of online direct sales and online distribution, and the SCN redesign decision. The analysis results show that the construction of the FTPBCP has a very important impact on the redesign of the GSC. Manufacturers need to consider the construction cost of the blockchain technology platform to set an appropriate price or redesign the SCN.
