Grazing behavior is a key factor that affects the sustainable development of the grassland social-ecological system. Grazing behavior is not only restricted by policies but also affected by the awareness of the herder of the grassland environment. To explore the influencing factors and mechanism behind grazing behavior, Yanchi County of Ningxia, a typical area of the “returning grazing land to grassland” project in Northwest China, was selected as a study area. Based on the consciousness-context-behavior theory, a questionnaire was designed, and 305 households were surveyed. Analysis of structural equation model results show: (1) the environmental sensitivity of herders and their satisfaction with the compensation mechanism regulated grazing behavior. When herders were more dependent on grassland, they were more willing to graze. (2) The grassland dependence, environmental sensitivity of herders, and herders’ satisfaction with the compensation mechanism had a significant interaction effect on grazing behavior. (3) Family livelihood diversification and the number of young and middle-aged laborers had a significant moderating effect on grassland dependence and grazing behavior. These findings are of vital importance for the government to formulate policies to promote the sustainable development of grasslands.
In the context of the globalization of China's animation industry, due to its commercialization operation and market-oriented operation, comprehensive animation talents are most welcome. Animation talents need to highlight their "vision & insight" from the perspective of technical, artistic and spiritual levels, which is essentially to broaden their horizons, nurture their cultural literacy, improve their spiritual essence so as to get rid of original thought pattern, striving to promote the upgrading of industrial enterprises. This paper takes the cultivation of "vision & insight" as major focus, combs the training ideas from the curriculum design of Chinese animation advanced education, the reconstruction of teacher construction, the implementation of practice links as well as the launch of the international forums, aiming to explore a new scale for a more well-rounded education, then widely explore the ways to succeed and cultivate more innovative talents.
It needs fast and convenient logistic service with the increasing development of trade volume between Shandong Province and South Korea. The recent state of container shipment between Shandong Province and South Korea was fully investigated. The future development the outlook of carrying out international automobile ferrying of joint land-andsea transportation between Shandong Province and South Korea was predicted with a combinational forecast method. The logistics cost between the traditional transportation mode and automobile ferrying of joint land-and-sea transportation was analyzed and compared. Some feasible measures and suggestions were proposed. It can be concluded that automobile ferrying of joint land-and-sea transportation is contributive to run door-todoor logistics service and improve the occupation of funds with less intermediate process and shorter transportation cycle.
Building sufficient recycled water infrastructure is an effective way to solve problems related to water shortages and environmental degradation, and is of great strategic significance for saving resources, protecting the ecological environment, and promoting sustainable social and economic development. Although recycled water is environmentally friendly, the public is still skeptical about its use, which has led to the failure of a large number of recycled water infrastructure investments; therefore, increasing the public’s willingness to re-use is critical for the construction of recycled water infrastructure. To identify the influence mechanism of user comments on public re-use behaviors, we conducted an eye-tracking experiment in China. The results demonstrated that (1) perceived usefulness, perceived quality, and perceived risk have significant impacts on the public’s willingness to buy; (2) user reviews can enhance the public’s perceived usefulness of recycled products and increase their willingness to buy; and (3) in the process of consumption, the public tends to pay attention to negative reviews, where user reviews alter the perceived risks and perceived prices of recycled products, thereby affecting the willingness to buy of consumers. This study provides a scientific reference for the construction of recycled water infrastructure and the further promotion of recycled water.
