Socioeconomic Conditions and Perceptions of Environmental Risks in the Mekong Delta,Vietnam

This study investigates the effects of sociodemographic and economic status on the differences in environmental awareness, risk perception, and stewardship of the Mekong Delta residents based on a survey conducted in person with 1,006 households across the delta system. Spatial visualization and a multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) were performed on the survey results to discover underlying factors of the participants' responses. The study results revealed that public environmental awareness in the Mekong Delta is still limited. The level of environmental awareness, risk perception, and understanding of stewardship of local people varies by location. Furthermore, how the Mekong Delta dwellers perceive environmental risks and behave toward environmental protection is unlikely to be influenced by their demographic profiles. However, they are significantly affected by the economic status including income levels and sources. Poor economic status was found to significantly hamper pro-environmental behavior of Mekong Delta people regardless of their knowledge of environmental degradation and the related consequences. These findings provide key information to assist policymakers in developing a successful and sustainable disaster risk reduction mitigation plan for the Mekong Delta region. The implications may also be applicable for other coastal zones, which are composed of similar sociodemographic, economic, and environmental conditions.

The strategic role of ports in regional development: conceptualising the experience from Australia

Regional ports, as infrastructure in regions, influence transport and regional development policies and planning. The interaction and involvement of regional ports with their stakeholders in the region are pivotal. The conundrum on what constitutes a regional port and thus its region has further complicated this limited researched area. In the extant literature, port and region relationship mainly centres on major metropolitan ports, and pays little heed to regional ports. In this context, this study investigates on how the Australian regional ports can be better involved in regional development. The study adopts a qualitative methodology to explore the Australian regional port stakeholders’ perceptions on port’s role in regional development through 38 semi-structured telephone interviews. Thematic analysis of data assisted by a mixture of NVivo software and manual techniques proposes a conceptual model that may assist policy-making. The key findings suggest that symbiotic growths of ports and concerned regions accelerate regional development. To contribute to regional development, the Australian regional ports can be proactive in building collaboration with regional organisations. The findings have major implications for port managers and port policy-makers for developing a region-oriented long-term port planning and for creating environment for Australian regional ports for regional resource configuration.     

Logistics connectivity considering import and export for Chinese inland regions in the 21st-Century Maritime Silk Road by dry ports

This investigation studies the logistics connectivity of inland Chinese provinces along the 21st-Century Maritime Silk Road (MSR) from the perspective of the oriented cooperation relationship between seaports and dry ports in inland regions. The logistics connectivity is measured based on the import and export data. First, complex network theory is used to develop a system for evaluating logistics connectivity of inland regions, involving metrics of susceptible-infected-recovered, and improved closeness centrality proposed to drawing on the characteristics of the studied network based on closeness centrality. Second, based on collected data, 136 dry ports in China and 127 seaports along the MSR have been used to construct an empirical network that covers 15 inland provinces of China. Then, the accessibility and importance of inland provinces are analyzed, and key points that serve the improvement of the logistics connectivity of inland provinces are mined and summarized. An example of an improved scheme for the connectivity of inland provinces is presented to demonstrate the application of these key points. The conclusions drawn support decision-making for local governments to improve the logistics connectivity of inland regions in the international logistics network, and then strengthen the participation of inland provinces in the MSR.     

海南岛西南海域泥沙特征及地形演变

基于水文泥沙测验及遥感影像资料分析海南岛西南海域泥沙特征,采用不同沿岸输沙公式对比计算海域的波浪沿岸输沙量,采用多年实测地形数据研究岸滩的演变规律。结果表明:海域内含沙量大潮大于小潮,但总体上悬沙含量较低;研究海域内径流对输沙影响较为有限,但受沿岸波流输沙的影响相对较大;而海区的悬移质颗粒比较均匀,颗粒较细;沿岸段波浪沿岸输沙能力净输沙方向均为自南向北,年净输沙能力在6.72万~13.31万m~3;岸滩演变的主要动力是波浪、波生沿岸流和潮流共同作用导致东方市所辖岸线的变化总体以自然冲淤变化为主,但冲淤强度有限,变化幅度不大。     

通州湾港区围填海工程起步方案比较

围填海工程在促进区域经济发展的同时会对周边海域滩槽形态、生态环境产生一定的影响。以通州湾港区起步工程为例,通过建立潮流数学模型,模拟南黄海辐射沙脊群海域的潮流形态。在此基础上,比较了两套不同围填海开发方案对工程区域滩面的冲淤影响。从整体上看,两套方案对工程周边海域的海底冲淤产生明显影响,但随着时间的推移趋于平衡。基于目前的模拟结果,先期实施离岸式的二港池更有利于维持小庙洪水道的畅通以及滩涂资源的保护。     

砂质海滩不透空丁坝特性研究

丁坝是整治海岸侵蚀的主要结构物之一。如何在特定的水动力条件和泥沙条件下建设具有岸线防护功能的丁坝,对整治海岸侵蚀具有重大意义。用数值方法研究丁坝建设后近岸的波浪、水流及泥沙运动,从近坝泥沙输沙率及近坝水流的变化分析探讨丁坝长度与角度的选取,得出不同沙滩坡度、波高、波向下沿坝裂流情况和近坝泥沙运动情况,并给出丁坝长度与角度的选取建议。

沿海潮差带粘性土地基上的一种新型围埝结构

沿海潮差带粘性土地基,一般都是新近沉积的淤泥质粘土或淤泥,采用一般的围埝结构和施工方法,造价高、工期长,往往满足不了建设的需要。通过工程实例分析,提出了国内首先应用在流泥和浮泥的地基上,以潮差带真空预压加固法处理地基基础联合模袋固化土构成的围埝结构型式,相对其它围埝结构,这种新型结构型式工期短、造价低、施工工艺简单,能够保证工程质量。
