The dynamic coupling model and its application of urbanization and eco-environment in Hexi Corridor
Arid area ; China ; Ecodevelopment ; Gansu ; Landscape dynamics ; Model ; Urbanization
This paper, taking Hexi Corridor as an example, analyzes the alternating intimidation and the dynamic evolving relation between urbanization and eco-environment in arid area of West China. The AA. argue that the harmonious development system
of the urbanization and eco-environment would go through 4 phases : rudimentary symbiotic phase, harmonious developmental phase, utmost increasing phase and spiral type rising phase. The study on Hexi Corridor shows that the urbanization level in Hexi Corridor has

The central aim of this study is to understand the long-term urban trajectories of the Brussels and Amsterdam urban regions in terms of different spatial organizations of property rights. After a consideration of international comparative urban
research, the authors analyse the trajectories of the urban regions of Brussels and Amsterdam systematically during one and a half century. - (AGD)
The nature and rates of fluvial and slope processes change over time and space as urbanized areas replace forested land in Singapore. Storm-based and time-based data, from undisturbed rainforests, heavily disturbed construction sites, urban grass

for understanding poverty dynamics in peri-urban areas. Micro-level process-based analysis may help to support more appropriate and inclusive social and poverty reduction policies in (peri-)urban areas in developing regions.
This paper traces the vicious and enabling processes by which peri-urban small farmers in the periphery of Mexico City change their poverty status over time. The findings support the importance of multidisciplinary explanatory frameworks

This paper describes a study concerning different functional modules of Kaifeng city urban ecosystem. Niche theory and techniques were used to analyze the changes of these functional modules in the period 1994-2003. This study may contribute
to macroscopic planning of urban functional modules, economic development, and environmental protection.
