Number Of Permanent Residents Research Articles

지방선거에서 중국인 등 외국인 영주권자 선거권 배제 필요성에 관한 연구

In 2005, during the Roh Moo-hyun administration, South Korea gave foreigners the right to vote for local council members and heads of local governments. Koreans living in China cannot cast a single vote in elections held in China. Foreign permanent residents residing in South Korea can vote after only three years. The number of Chinese permanent residents in South Korea is approximately 150,000, and the number of permanent residents who are foreigners and can participate in elections in 2026 is expected to be 181,251. This can be said to be an example of deviating from the principle of reciprocity in that one can vote in Korean local elections even if one does not have Korean nationality. The current law has some unreasonable aspects and is not fair from the perspective of reciprocity. Additionally, there have been attempts by China to interfere in elections in Australia and Canada, and voices of concern about Chinese political intervention are growing. These laws that violate reciprocity must be revised. Based on the principle of reciprocity voting rights for foreign permanent residents including Chinese should be excluded.

Contributions to a global understanding of socioenvironmental justice related to urban forest: Trends from Brazilian cities in the southeastern Paraná State

Global studies on urban forests (UFs) have extensively covered both environmental and social aspects, including concerns about public health and green solutions provided by trees and forests in cities. However, this trend has not been widely observed in South America, particularly in cities located outside and distant from capital cities and wealthier regions. So, this study examines disparities in socioenvironmental justice of cities in the poorest region of Paraná State, Brazil, comparing to Curitiba (CWB), the capital and one of the greenest cities of Brazil, and proposes a methodology to surpass the scarcity of adequate dataset. A four-dimensional analysis covers the configuration of UF landscapes, the provision of ecosystem services, accessibility to UF, and their interrelation with socioeconomic indicators. We used high-resolution multispectral images from PlanetScope Dove and employed a machine learning algorithm to accurately map UF. We quantified landscape patterns of UFs using a variety of landscape metrics (LM), including mean patch area (AREA_MN), percentage of the landscape class (PLAND), largest patch index (LPI), mean shape index (SHAPE_MN), and the percentage of similar adjacencies (PLADJ). Additionally, we estimated ecosystem services such as total biomass (TB), carbon stock (TCS), carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2eq), urban heat island (UHI), and available public green areas (PGA). We created accessibility maps to PGA at distances of 300 and 800 m. A Mann-Kendall correlation analysis was employed to explore the relationships between these variables and various socioeconomic indicators, including the percentage of people in households without adequate water supply and sewage (TAEE), the percentage of the population living in urban households without garbage collection service (TPSL), the illiteracy rate of the population aged 15 years or older (TANAL), the proportion of people with per capita household income equal to or less than half minimum wage at year of 2010 (TVULNER), the number of schools (SCHOOLS), and the number of permanent residents (MPERM). The Sen's slope test was performed to determine the magnitude of these correlations. Our four-dimensional analysis revealed significant disparities in the distribution and accessibility of ecosystem services within the cities of southeastern Paraná State when compared to CWB. Correlation analyses revealed significant discrepancies between different socioeconomic conditions and the availability of ecosystem services. Financial vulnerability is positively correlated with ecosystem services, while the lack of sanitation negatively impacts their availability. The results highlight the urgent need for equitable distribution of UF ecosystem services.

Spatial Pattern and Influencing Factors of Agricultural Leading Enterprises in Heilongjiang Province, China

As one of the major new agricultural business entities, agricultural leading enterprises (ALEs) are responsible for ensuring national food security, leading agricultural and rural modernization, and increasing farmers’ employment prospects and incomes. From the perspective of headquarters and branches, this study used a point pattern analysis, the local Moran’s index, the rank-size rule, and the geographical detector to depict the spatial pattern of ALEs in Heilongjiang Province, detect influencing factors, and reveal the spatial layout mechanism. The main conclusions are as follows. (1) ALE headquarters and branches in Heilongjiang Province had different location requirements, and their layout orientation, clustering areas, and influencing factors were different. (2) The headquarters displayed a pronounced urban and agglomeration orientation, while branches exhibited a significant farm dependence and raw material orientation. (3) Both the headquarters and the branches showed a significant trend towards spatial clustering. The headquarters were mainly in the Harbin municipal district and surrounding counties, including Wuchang, Zhaodong, and Beilin, which showed a high–high cluster pattern. The branches were mainly in the Sanjiang Plain. Tongjiang, Fujin, Hulin, Mishan, Raohe, Baoqing, and Suibin showed a high–high cluster pattern, while the Harbin municipal district and Bei’an showed a high–low outlier pattern. (4) The ALEs’ regional connection network in Heilongjiang Province was radially distributed with the Harbin municipal district as the centre. The agricultural reclamation system deeply influenced it. (5) The number of supporting enterprises, number of permanent residents, gross domestic product, railway mileage, number of people with Bachelor’s degrees or above, and distance from the provincial capital were the main influencing factors of the headquarters spatial pattern in Heilongjiang Province. The number of state farms in Heilongjiang Province, the per capita grain yield, highway mileage, and distance from the provincial capital were the main influencing factors of the branch spatial patterns in Heilongjiang Province. The interaction results indicated that the explanatory power of two-factor interaction was stronger than that of a single factor regardless of headquarters or branches, and most interaction types were bilinear enhancements. This study aims to provide a decision-making reference for the long-term development of ALEs in Heilongjiang Province at the present stage and accelerate the development of agricultural industrialization in major grain-producing areas.

Dynamic Prediction and Driving Factors of Carbon Emission in Beijing, China, under Carbon Neutrality Targets

China has made remarkable achievements in reducing carbon emissions in recent years. However, there is still much reduction room before achieving carbon neutrality. In Beijing, the capital of China, it is a strategic choice to respond to global climate change by promoting green and low-carbon development. This paper calculates the carbon dioxide emissions of key industries in Beijing and analyzes the temporal evolution trend of carbon emissions. Carbon dioxide emissions in Beijing before 2030 are predicted based on the grey prediction GM (1,1) and BP neural network model. The effects of factors of carbon dioxide emissions are discussed using the threshold regression model under different economic conditions. The results show that energy consumption intensity, GDP per capita, and the ownership of civil cars have a positive impact on carbon dioxide emissions, while the number of permanent residents and urban green space areas have a negative impact on carbon dioxide emissions. These findings of carbon emission prediction and influencing factors contribute to carbon reduction path design. Related policy implications on carbon emission reduction are put forward from the aspects of promoting industrial upgrading, accelerating the construction of advanced economic structures, optimizing transportation structures, and strengthening green building development.

Research on influencing factors of urban building carbon emissions based on STIRPAT model——taking Suzhou as an example

The research on the influencing factors of carbon emissions from urban buildings is of great significance for the reduction of carbon in the urban building sector and even the realization of the city’s the carbon peak and neutrality goals. In this paper, combined with the ridge regression method, the STIRPAT model is used to establish a new model for influencing factors of building carbon emissions in Suzhou, and the factors such as urbanization rate, the number of permanent residents, per capita construction and tertiary industry added value, and per capita disposable income are analyzed. The analysis results show that the urbanization rate is the primary driving factor for building carbon emissions in Suzhou, followed by the number of permanent residents, then the added value of the per capita construction industry and tertiary industry, and finally the per capita disposable income. The conclusions of this paper indicate that industrialization and urbanization have strongly promoted the growth of building carbon emissions in Suzhou. In the future, with the continuous development of industrialization and urbanization and the increase of population, Suzhou City can rationally plan urban development boundaries to promote green and low-carbon transformation and development in the field of urban and rural construction, improve residents’ low-carbon awareness, and advocate green and low-carbon behavior of residents to reduce building carbon emissions.

The Impact of Housing Demand on Housing Price Fluctuations—Taking Wuhan as an Example

The housing problem is related to the well-being of the people's livelihood, and the housing price problem has always been a hot topic of social concern. Since the beginning of the 21st century, the problem of expensive housing in big cities has become more prominent, and the problem of housing prices has plagued the people. With the rapid economic development of big cities, more and more people are pouring into big cities to work and buy houses, and house prices are also rising sharply. Due to the government's macro-control policies and the epidemic, housing prices have also been affected. This paper intercepts the time series data such as the average house price and the gross regional product (GDP), price index (CPI), the number of permanent residents and the per capita disposable income of residents in Wuhan from 2000 to 2020. Using multiple regression model, it is concluded that the demand-side factors such as GDP, price index and disposable income of residents in Wuhan will positively affect housing prices, and thus predict the fluctuation trend of house prices in Wuhan in the future and put forward corresponding suggestions.

Uncoordinated Coupling Assessment of New Urbanization and Ecological Carrying Capacity in the Yellow River Basin.

Under the restriction of the national “double carbon” goal, how to realize the coordination between urbanization and low-carbon development in the Yellow River Basin is a problem worthy of attention. In this paper, a new urbanization and ecological carrying capacity evaluation index system is established to evaluate the new urbanization level and ecological carrying capacity of the Yellow River Basin. On this basis, the uncoordinated coupling level of new urbanization and ecological carrying capacity in the Yellow River Basin is measured by using the improved uncoordinated coupling model, and its temporal and spatial characteristics and internal impact mechanism are analyzed. The study shows that the new urbanization and ecological carrying capacity of the Yellow River Basin has a benign development trend as a whole. Shandong province belongs to the low-level uncoordinated coupling type; Gansu Province and Qinghai Province belong to the running-in uncoordinated type; and Shanxi Province, the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Shaanxi Province, and the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region belong to the antagonistic uncoordinated coupling type. The uncoordinated coupling degree between new urbanization and ecological carrying capacity in the Yellow River Basin has a spatial interaction effect. It presents a low-level cluster centered on Shaanxi Province and Shandong Province and a high-level cluster centered on Gansu Province, Qinghai Province, and the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. From the perspective of the internal main impact mechanism, water resources have a two-way impact on the development of the two systems of new urbanization and ecological carrying capacity; the number of permanent residents and the level of scientific and technological investment have a one-way impact on the process of new urbanization; and the green coverage rate of built-up areas has a one-way impact on the development of ecological carrying capacity. The main contributions of this paper are as follows. First, the evaluation index system of new urbanization and ecological carrying capacity has been improved in combination with the new development concept. The evaluation of new urbanization by this index system is more in line with the current national requirements for high-quality development. Second, the impact of potential resources and human regulation has been added to the traditional ecological carrying capacity evaluation index system, and the evaluation of ecological carrying capacity by this index system is more in line with reality. Thirdly, taking the time effect into account, an improved uncoordinated coupling method is proposed. Using this method to evaluate the relationship between systems is conducive to bringing the dynamic relationship within the system into the evaluation system, which is more in line with the reality of system changes. Fourth, from the perspective of problem diagnosis, research on the relationship between new urbanization and ecological carrying capacity will help to find the internal mechanism that affects the coordinated development of new urbanization and ecological carrying capacity in the Yellow River Basin. This method is universal for exploring the internal influence mechanism of the relationship between systems.

The deviation between the willingness and behavior of farmers to adopt electricity-saving tricycles and its influencing factors in Dazu District of China

This study aims to explore whether there is a deviation between farmers' willingness and behavior to adopt electricity-saving tricycles and to identify factors influencing the deviation. A total of 234 rural households in Dazu District of China were selected by using the stratified random sampling technique and interviewed face-to-face. The cross-analysis method was employed to analyze the deviation, and the binary logit model was used to investigate the influencing factors on the deviation. The results demonstrate that there is a deviation between farmers' adoption willingness and behavior. Of the 193 farmers who were willing to adopt electricity-saving tricycles, only 52 had actual adoption behaviors in their families. The inconsistency rate was more than 73%. The regression results indicate that age, whether the respondents are village cadres, and the terrain of the dwelling have positive effects on the deviation. The number of permanent residents, the diversity of income structure, the area of the dwelling, the cognition toward climate change and individual behaviors of energy use, and whether the respondents participate in rural cooperatives or not affect the deviation negatively. Our findings provide policy implications for government measures to guide the transition from the willingness to the actual adoption behavior of farmers.

Analysis on the status of occupational health of medical radiation workers in China in 2019

Objective: To grasp the occupational health monitoring of radiation workers in medical institutions across the country, and to discover weak links in the prevention and treatment of occupational radiation diseases. Methods: In 2020 January, according to the monitoring data of the "National Radiation Health Information Platform" (Occupational Radiation Disease and Occupational Health Monitoring Subsystem and Occupational Radiation Disease Reporting Subsystem) , the national occupational health monitoring data from January 1 to December 31, 2019, including the number of radiation workers in medical institutions, occupational health examinations, personal dose monitoring and occupational radiation disease diagnosis, were descriptive analyzed. Results: There were a total of 394436 radiation workers in medical institutions across the country. The number of radiation workers in various provinces was quite different, with a median of 10206, which was positively correlated with the number of permanent residents in each province (r=0.947) . There were 376 personal dose monitoring institutions nationwide, and the personal dose monitoring rate of radiation workers in medical institutions was 96.61% (381045/394436) . There were 419 occupational health inspection institutions for radiation workers across the country, and 269 (64.20%) used software to print physical examination forms. A total of 334455 radiation workers in medical institutions had been subjected to occupational health examinations. The rate of occupational health examinations for radiation workers in medical institutions was 84.79% (334455/394436) . The abnormal rate of chromosomal aberrations in peripheral blood lymphocytes of radiation workers in medical institutions was 0.33% (776/233571) , the detection rate of posterior posterior subcapsular turbidity was 0.63% (2093/334455) , and the abnormality rate of thyroid color ultrasound was 28.49% (14946/52464) . In 2019, a total of 16 cases of occupational radiation diseases were reported. Conclusion: The personal dose monitoring rate and occupational health examination rate of medical radiation workers nationwide are relatively high, but the quality of lymphocyte chromosome aberration analysis, eye lens examination and thyroid color photograph examination needs to be further improved.

Useful City or the truth about systemic context of depopulation and shrinking cities

In recent years, the phenomenon of depopulation and shrinkage of cities has been observed. The depopulation of large cities is undoubtedly a demographic fact. The process of urban depopulation has recently become the theme of numerous reports and alarmist research works. However, it can be concluded that the diagnostic background of this phenomenon has got a narrow methodical foundation. As a measure of depopulation, the number of permanent residents is usually taken (according to the place of residence). Thus, the diversity, complexity and dynamics of processes taking place in contemporary cities are ignored. Postmodern reality appears as a segregated, separated world. Therefore, the diagnostic approaches currently used should be discussed. Going further, one can conclude that the measurement of depopulation and shrinkage of cities by the number of permanent residents is a simplification, because it ignores the essence of urbanity, which is the diversity of values offered by the urban space of exchange (i.e. the utility value). The article presents therefore the new concept of the measurement for shrinking of cities. Ideas discussed in the paper are expected to stimulate critical exchange of views among urban researchers. In the authors’ opinion, the sin of social-economic geography and spatial economics consists in boiling down great human affairs to aspects of correct representativeness.

The dynamics of population distributions in cities based on daily mobile phone operations: A case study of some Moravian cities

Abstract Analyses of the changes in the presence of persons in different central and residential parts of urban areas are subject to evaluation in this paper. Case studies of the cities of Brno, Ostrava and Zlín during the day and night are highlighted. Data from a provider of mobile phone services were used for the analyses. It appears that the data can be important for the comparison of different urban structures. The results demonstrate that the organisation of urban structure affects the number of visitors and thus the area attractiveness. It was confirmed that the number of mobile phone users in the city cores is higher than the number of permanent residents. The greatest differences between the day and night in the city cores were found in Brno, a concentric city with the most important central functions among the cities studied. Differences between the day and night in residential areas were not as large as expected. City neighbourhoods in Brno showed some specific rhythmicity.

Research on Regional Development of Rail Transit -- Taking Guangfo Metro as an example

The shortest path model is selected to evaluate the regional traffic accessibility. Three index factors, gross regional product, total retail sales of consumer goods, and the number of permanent residents in the region, were selected, and the weight sum was given by entropy weight method to evaluate the regional economic intensity. The gravity model adding the regional accessibility index considering traffic factors is selected to evaluate the regional linkages. By integrating the three indexes, an evaluation index system of rail transit benefits is formed to study the utility of rail transit to the economic development of surrounding areas, and to provide scientific theoretical basis and guidance for the government to carry out urban construction and rail transit management.

Well-Being and Residents’ Tourism Support – Mature Island Destination Perspective

Abstract Rapid tourism development accompanied by exponential increase in the number of tourists and visitors in destinations can disrupt the life of destination residents and negatively affect their support for (future) tourism development. On the other hand, residents economically dependent on tourism might have different attitudes toward tourism in comparison to those who are not economically involved in tourism. Several studies have found that economic dependence on tourism induces more positive perceptions of tourism impacts and higher degree of support than non-dependence. Another potential valuable predictor of tourism support could be residents’ subjective well-being, enhancing our understanding quality of life under the influence of tourism. The purpose of this study is to better understand local residents’ support for tourism development by exploring their well-being, involvement in tourism activities and perceived overall value of tourism development. In order to gain a specific perspective of island tourism destination, a sample of residents living on a small Adriatic island Vir (Croatia) was chosen. Vir is high seasonal and mature destination with annual number of visitors around 30 times bigger than the number of permanent residents. It was found that those residents who are directly or indirectly economically benefiting from tourism have significantly higher scores in personal and national well-being domains and also exhibit higher support towards future tourism development, than those who don’t experience economic benefits from tourism. Regression analysis of an island well-being perception index, revealed that tourism generates more benefits than costs and economical involvement in tourism positively affect residents’ tourism development support. On the other hand, demographic predictors (age, gender, education, income) and personal well-being index are not associated with tourism development support. The results provide important insights for researchers and practitioners on understanding residents’ perceptions of tourism in mature destinations and how those perceptions can be related both to subjective well-being and the level of involvement in tourism activities.

Current issues in access to care services for the elderly in Japan focusing on special permanent residents and foreign-born Japanese: A report by the Monitoring Report Committee of the Japanese Society of Public Health

Japan is currently one of the countries with a long life expectancy, in which a great number of older people need care for their daily living. Japan has become increasingly internationalized due to an increase in foreigners and international marriages. As the number of elderly foreigners and foreign-born Japanese increase, older adults who do not use Japanese as their first language will need more opportunities to receive care. We examined characteristics such as country of origin, language spoken, lifestyle, living environment, and cultural background of elderly people who were either foreign permanent residents living in Japan or foreign-born Japanese (hereinafter referred to as elderly with an international background, in short, EIB) receiving care support. Ichushi-web, a medical literature database, was used [last search date: June 2, 2018]. These searches extracted 205 papers. After the first and second extraction procedures, only two papers matched this theme. These two reports were for Korean residents in Japan, so-called special permanent residents, and repatriates from China and their spouses, many of whom were aged 75 years old and above. The number of permanent residents in Japan who speak a foreign language as their first language is increasing. Inhibition of communication between EIB and healthcare welfare service providers is expected to be an obstacle while accessing care support services. For this reason, we must provide them with information related to Japanese healthcare services. Medical interpretation efforts are scattered and the response to EIB in the event of disasters has been discussed. From the perspective of multicultural coexistence, it is necessary to provide long-term care insurance services and medical services to EIB. Such efforts may include development and sharing of tools and the placement of staff who can communicate with non-Japanese speakers. Staff must also understand various illness- and health awareness-related issues. In the future, considering the increasing number of EIB who may require care services, we must consider cultural backgrounds and language diversification for EIB. These issues require clarification and development of acceptable solutions.

Detecting and Analyzing the Increase of High-Rising Buildings to Monitor the Dynamic of the Xiong’an New Area

As an effort to monitor the urban dynamic of the Xiong’an new area, this paper proposed a novel procedure to detect the increase of High-Rising Buildings (HRBs) from multi-temporal Sentinel-2 data based on Fully Convolutional Networks. The procedure was applied to detect the increase of HRBs between 2017 and 2019 in 39 counties in the center of the Xiong’an new area. The detected increases were validated and then analyzed in terms of their quantities, spatial distribution and driving forces at the county level. The results indicate that our method can effectively detect the increase of HRBs in large urban areas. The quantity and spatial distribution of the increased HRBs varies a lot in the 39 counties. Most of the increase is located in the north-east and the mid-west of the study region. As to the driving forces, it seems that no single factor can fully explain the increase. Among the five selected factors, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and transportation accessibility have clear high impacts than others. Number of Permanent Residents (NPR) and policy follow as the secondary group. The terrain has the lowest influence on the increase. Our method provides a useful tool to dynamically monitor HRBs in large areas and also the increase of HRBs can be employed as a new indicator to characterize urban development.

Research and Simulation of Parking Resource Sharing Mode in Old Community—Taking Yingmenkou Community as an Example

In recent years, the number of permanent residents in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China has continued to grow, and the number of private cars keeps rising. A series of problems caused by difficult parking and random parking in old communities are common. This paper will take the parking problem of the old community in Yingmenkou community, Chengdu, China as an example to summarize the current situation and parking problems of the private car parking facilities in these old communities. Based on Chengdu’s current old community parking management policy, parking facility renovation and expansion policy, this paper researches and establishes a parking resource sharing model suitable for old communities. The simulation results show that this model has a small footprint and is easy to install and disassemble. It can be freely spliced and combined units according to the size of the old community and the needs of residents. It is suitable for old communities with no centralized parking lot and high parking demand by residents.

Prediction of the demographic situation in urban districts as a factor of sustainable social and economic development of the transport infrastructure

Article considers the significance of the demographic forecast for the effective operation of the providing system of social and economic development of the urban transport infrastructure. Analysis of the factors which influence on the population of the city of Voronezh was performed and the population forecast for the year 2020 is presented on the basis of the classification by year of birth. Calculation was performed in three variants (with consideration of the use of classification by year of birth) in connection with an impact of modern social and economic situation on the negative tendencies formed in demographic processes. In the basis of variants were grounded different approaches to the dynamics of demographic processes. The main demographic indicators are the number of permanent residents, birth rates, death rates, migration rates. According to the results of the study, population of the urban district of the city of Voronezh is expected to increase in the specified period and migration inflow of the population has a dominant role in the formation in the formation of the number of the city population.

Spatial distribution of tourism supply in Andalusia

This paper applies Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis (ESDA) techniques to the Spanish Autonomous Community of Andalusia (Andalucía) to analyze tourism flows and their impacts with specific reference to the provision of accommodation and size of local population. Moran's I global index of spatial autocorrelation and LISA cluster maps are used and a persistent imbalance is found between the littoral and the inland areas. A positive spatial autocorrelation is found that is compatible with the high degree of concentration in the littoral area or, regarding the number of permanent residents, the pressure caused by tourism activity on some municipalities in mountain areas with high environmental and landscape quality. The dominance of traditional tourism zone in the Western Costa del Sol, West Almería or Bahía de Cádiz is highlighted but a more equitable territorial distribution of tourism with less pressure and more quality is found in coastal mature destinations and a special dynamism in the rural inland area is also observed. The implications for destination planning are discussed.

Housing conditions in 2 Canadian First Nations communities

Objectives. Housing conditions were assessed in 2 Canadian First Nations communities. Possible associations with tuberculosis (TB) were explored.Study design. Participatory community-based survey.Methods. Qualitative and quantitative data on housing and health were collected in the northern Denè community at Lac Brochet (LB), which has experienced endemic and epidemic TB, and the southern Ojibwa community at Valley River (VR), which has not. Results. 72 of 135 (53%) houses at LB and 57 of 95 (60%) houses at VR were enrolled. Houses in both communities were small (mean 882 and 970 sq. ft., respectively) compared to the Manitoba average (1,200 sq. ft.). Crowding was evident at LB (mean persons per room [ppr] 1.1) and VR (mean ppr 0.9). The provincial mean ppr is 0.5. However, only 49% of householders at LB and 19% at VR felt “crowded” in their homes. More than two-thirds of houses had absent or non-functional heat recovery ventilation systems. Mould was observed in 44% of LB houses and 19% of VR houses. At LB a significant association was found between the number of permanent residents in the house and the presence of selfreported latent or active TB, either currently or during residence in that house (p=0.001).Conclusions. Houses that were studied in these 2 First Nations communities were predominantly small, crowded and in poor repair. An association was found between the number of persons in a house and self-reported TB. Improved housing conditions in First Nations communities are indicated to promote and sustain health as well as human and Indigenous rights.
