“…The accessibility to public fitness venues was studied using the buffer zone method [48]. The service area of public fitness venues represents the area that is covered by urban residents by walking at a speed of 1 m/s in a time range of 0-15 min [49] with each venue being at the center (Figure 5 and Table 4).…”

In the context of the Healthy China initiative, studying the spatial distribution characteristics of urban sports venues will benefit sports venue planning in cities and promote the health of urban residents. Therefore, considering the main urban area of Dalian City as the study area, in this study, we investigated the spatial distribution characteristics of fitness venues and their accessibility through spatial and buffer zone analyses using data of public fitness venues, school sports venues, and the traffic road network. The conclusion is as follows: (1) In Zhongshan, Xigang, and Shahekou Districts, public fitness venues are more densely distributed in non-coastal areas. (2) Within 0–15 min, Xigang District showed the highest ratio of the public fitness venue service area (24.42%), which was followed by Shahekou (19.02%), Zhongshan (17.13%), and Ganjingzi Districts (4.82%). (3) The number of sports venues increased from 272 to 1117 when school sports venues were considered. Due to this, the service area ratio of fitness venues in all districts was increased, and the ranking was also changed. After this, Shahekou District had the highest ratio of the sports and fitness venue service area (55.65%), which was followed by Xigang (48.43%), Zhongshan (35.68%), and Ganjingzi Districts (11.91%). Therefore, solutions to introduce more school sports venues should be investigated to ensure a uniform spatial distribution of urban fitness venues. This study provides a reference to plan and develop fitness venues in cities.

Spatial-Temporal Evolution Relationship between Water Systems and Historical Settlement Sites Based on Quantitative Analysis: A Case Study of Hankou in Wuhan, China (1635–1949)

et al. 2022

When deciding on and creating their own settlement environment, humans’ relationships with water resources have evolved. From the earliest times when they observed water and learned about its characteristics and laws to create artificial rivers, to the gradual development and use of water resources to create water plants and pumping stations, to the management of water resources to set up customs and dams to prevent and manage water hazards.To lay the groundwork for more sustainable development of the relationship between humans and water in the city, it is important to understand and summarize this state of change. Wuhan, known as the “City of a Thousand Lakes”, is a typical case of studying the traditional relationship between Chinese people and water, and can better provide modern cities with the value of historical experience in sustainable development. Therefore, this study takes the Hankou town of Wuhan from 1635 to 1949 as the research object, uses historical maps and written materials as data sources, and creates a database of historical information based on the water system of Hankou and the sites of artificial settlements such as buildings and streets. It takes quantitative analysis and map visualization techniques of the GIS platform from the perspective of quantitative historical research. Firstly, it creates a database of historical information based on the water system of Hankou and the sites of artificial settlements such as buildings and streets. Secondly, it gives the quantitation about the human–water relationship in Hankou by applying the spatial analysis methods of buffer analysis. The study’s findings demonstrate that from 1635 to 1864 there were an increasing number of artificial settlement sites that were distributed along the water system, keeping a reasonable distance from the water; from 1684 to 1905, people constructed dikes to prevent flooding, which resulted in an increase in urban space; and from 1905 to 1949, the development of Hankou shifted toward the Hanjiang River and the Yangtze River. The procedure shows a change in the relationship between avoiding water and subsequently managing water and using water. The results of the study indicate the following: (1) Water is essential for the environment of human settlements. (2) Human activities have an impact on the structure of water systems. (3) There is a high degree of coupling between the Hankou urban water system and the sites of artificial settlements. It proves that the relationship between humans and water is very close in the process of modern urbanization in Hankou. In building a traditional habitat environment to regulate water, it is consistent with the ancient Chinese concepts of “harmony between man and nature” and “the best place to live is close to water conservancy but also avoid flood.” This paper is helpful for re-examining and establishing the harmonious relationship between humans and water to encourage sustainable urban growth and reshape the urban spatial environment with Chinese characteristics. It also provides a method based on quantitative analysis for studying the evolution history of urban settlement environments.

“…With the development of practice, academic research on Linpan has been increasing, such as Sun et al (2011) research on the vegetation community types and diversity of Linpan; Shi and Ishikawa's (2012) research on the value of Linpan in the Dujiangyan idyllic landscape; Li et al (2019) research on the Linpan settlements' conservation patterns in the Dujiangyan irrigation area; Abramson's (2020) research on the role of Linpan agricultural landscape systems in maintaining regional socio-ecological resilience; and Wan et al (2022) research on the distribution characteristics of Linpan and its influencing factors. Additionally, the study of cultural landscapes has become a popular topic.…”

Linpan has a long history of over 2,300 years and is a unique cultural landscape heritage of the Chengdu Plain derived from the Dujiangyan hydraulic engineering. As urbanization has gradually degraded the Linpan landscape over the past decades, the government is helping to revitalize the local countryside by preserving it. The purpose of this study was to understand the perceptions of Linpan indigenous villagers about its conservation and use, and to investigate the differences in their perceptions and the factors influencing them. The city of Dujiangyan, located at the source of the Dujiangyan Irrigation Area, was taken as the case study area, and a questionnaire survey and quantitative analysis were adopted. The study shows that Linpan indigenous villagers generally support the protection of water systems and fields; Linpan’s vacation and health and wellness functions are recognized by villagers; and regarding Linpan land use, villagers generally prefer to take the form of land market transfer and are willing to transfer arable land and homestead. This also confirms differences in the villagers’ perceptions of the conservation and utilization of Linpan in different locations due to their divergent characteristics. This study provides a reference for the villagers’ perspective on the planning and action of Linpan conservation and use, suggesting the importance of villagers’ distinguishing factors in cultural landscape revitalization.
