Developing a Framework to Identify Local Business and Government Vulnerability to Sea-Level Rise: A Case Study of Coastal Virginia

In this article, we develop methods for identifying local business and government vulnerabilities to sea-level rise and the natural hazards associated with it. Unlike the fairly large literature on measuring social vulnerability to natural hazards, there are very few papers that discuss methods for measuring local business or local government vulnerability even though businesses and governments are also differentially affected natural hazards. Our goal is to create measures that are easily replicable using readily available data and that are easy to explain to local planners, policymakers, and citizens. We implement our measures of local business and government vulnerability for our study area, Coastal Virginia. We combine those measures with a physical vulnerability measure to identify the areas in Coastal Virginia where planners and policymakers need to more closely examine the potential impacts of sea-level rise on their local businesses and government. While our methods are tailored to Coastal Virginia, they could be easily applied in other areas threatened by sea-level rise.     

政府参与解决高职院校汽车检测与维修技术专业校企合作“一头热”问题的方法及路径研究

汽车检测与维修技术专业是我国职业院校中开设的为培养汽车后市场技术服务人才的重要专业之一,校企合作作为职业院校培养技术过硬、具备较强岗位实践能力的人才的有效途径,是各个职业院校人才培养的重点内容。不过由于种种原因,导致现阶段我国诸多职业院校汽车检测与维修技术专业校企合作均停留在浅层次合作层面上,院校对校企合作积极性较高而企业对此较为冷淡。本文通过对校企合作一头热原因的分析,从政府在校企合作中应该发挥的作用方面探索解决途径,促进校企合作中多方共赢。
