Interactive effects of high-speed rail on nodal zones in a city: exploratory study on China

Guo LIU, Kunhui YE

Frontiers of Engineering Management 2019, Volume 6, Issue 3, Pages 327-335 doi: 10.1007/s42524-019-0051-2

Abstract: The arrival of the high-speed rail (HSR) era has accelerated the pace of urban development, but its broad socioeconomic impact remains subject to intense debates. This research aims to propose a model for measuring the impact of HSR operation on HSR stations and the surrounding areas, which this research call the HSR-based nodal zone (HNZ). The proposed model is composed of two variables (i.e., transportation situation and vitality) and three subsystems (i.e., economic, societal, and environmental). Data were collected in China through questionnaire survey. Results indicate that the effects of HSR operation on HNZ are multidimensional, transportation vitality has an intermediary role in the effects, and the effects on the physical environment are negative. This study presents an early examination of the impact of HSR operation on the HSR stations and relevant areas and contributes new evidence to academic debates on the contribution of HSR to urban development. Accordingly, urban development policies should be built on the mechanism of HSR in driving the growth of HNZ.

New urbanization based on the engineering management of the ecological civilization

Wu Jisong

Strategic Study of CAE 2013, Volume 15, Issue 11, Pages 19-23

Abstract:

This paper illustrates the scientific base of the ecological civilization and the connotation of its engineering,which understanding the ecological carrying capacity is the core of the ecological civilization construction, like civil engineering relying on the base. This paper proposes the index system of the regional ecological carrying capacity pointing that the new ecological engineering is to adapt to the ecological carrying capacity and the four-ecology principle of the ecological engineering using the Guilin region's water conservancy project as an example. This paper also points out that the new town is an artificial ecosystem that superimposes on the regional natural ecosystem,so the large-scale constructions of new towns should follow the principles of the ecological engineering.

Climate change and its consequences for water and wastewater management

Peter A. WILDERER

Frontiers of Environmental Science & Engineering 2009, Volume 3, Issue 1, Pages 1-1 doi: 10.1007/s11783-009-0001-z

Abstract: Life, in combination with solar radiation and abiotic processes, is most probably the reason why liquid water has existed on Earth for over billions of years, and the global mean temperature has remained in a life-enabling range. Efforts to limit or even reverse global warming must be derived from the knowledge of the Earth’s complex life-support system. In this context, the balance between liquid and gaseous water plays a crucial role, and water management becomes an important field of innovation and action, globally, on the scale of watersheds but also on the very local level. Cascading use, reuse, and temporary storage of water in urban settings must be considered to limit over-extraction of water from natural resources, and to maintain the life supporting function of ecosystems. At the same time, public health requirements, cost efficiency, and reliability demands are to be met.
