Abstract: The building of culture atmosphere is one of the core goals of urban design and an important aspect in the evaluation for urban design project. Based on the interpretation and analysis for the theory of culture district, the theory of city image, and the theory of place, the paper discusses the key points and related technical routes in the building of culture atmosphere with different space location (old town and new city town) or different space level (whole city, cultural blocks and landmark nodes). The building of culture atmosphere can help to improve the quality of urban design, and enhance the city's cultural charm.

Abstract: Geo-spatial planning research and practice at Micro level still lack mature and perfect quantitative techniques now. As the research object of the layout of industrial land, one kind of quantitative techniques about site layout planning will be established in regulatory planning which is session of urban and rural planning. It is the aim and main content of this article. Based on application of AHP on fixed-point analysis of the urban and rural elements, a hierarchy model of land use has been established in order to the target of optimization of industrial layout combined with the impact of industrial layout planning factor analysis. An optimized program of the industrial land layout has been proposed in the way of multi-factor evaluation, GIS analysis and objective scoring method on the various planning factors that Industrial development required. Finally it achieves the conversion from qualitative judgments to quantitative decision making in layout planning of industrial land. The technical methods maintained objectivity and accuracy of decision making and increased scientific of Regulatory Planning, and has reference on current quantitative techniques of urban and rural planning.

Abstract: Under the development background of Xi’an international metropolitan area, the industries spatial distribution patterns facing with Xi’an and its surrounding areas change greatly. The authors explore the current industries distribution characters in Xi’an based on the industrial spatial transfer perspective and empirical analysis. Then the authors discuss the potential holding spaces for industrial transfer based on the main component analysis method. Finally, the new pattern and some countermeasures and suggestions are put forward.

Abstract: The urban and rural spatial form is the external form of urban-rural relations, and it is physical form in the process of urban and rural development within certain regions. In this paper, Kunshan city in Suzhou, Shunde District in Foshan, ShuangLiu County in Chengdu are selected as the cases study. The current characters, the development background and their trends of urban and rural spatial form are addressed for each area through the comparative study. The research shows that the three areas are all have the condition of dispersed of urban and rural spatial form, and the trend of the urban and rural spatial development will change from scattered, disorder, the opposition into centralized, orderly and fusion. The system innovation is the important means in reconstructing the urban and rural spatial form.

Abstract: Based on the present situation and existing problems of historic cultural tourist resources of Red Cliff, it advances implementation strategies such as inheritance of historical culture, promotion and development of local culture, beautification of living environment, optimization of commercial structure, betterment of physical environment, etc. to realize the sustainable constructional development of historical cultural blocks.

Abstract: This paper discusses conservation and revitalization of historic town based on the principle of territorialism. The objective is to find out appropriate solutions for a given place and to keep its historic and cultural value. It develops corresponding analysis, planning and application with emphasizing on the features of a specific locality. The paper considers not only the material cultural heritages of a historic town, but also intangible aspects such as social integration. It advocates a territory-base development mode.

Abstract: Kindergarten education is a significant project which is closely related to the future development of the nation and its people's livelihood. With the development of our economy and the improvement of people’s living standard, the demand for high-quality pre-school education is increasing sharply among parents. Unfortunately, present development of kindergartens in our country is far behind the increasing demand of pre-school education which results in the phenomenon of “kindergarten enrollment difficulty” in numerous cities. In the investigation, it is found that planning and layout of kindergartens, shortcomings of their own development and related policies are the factors that interact with each other thus leading to the problem. To deal with those factors, we put up with a set of theoretical models from the angle of planning in the hope that these models can serve as reference for relieving the problem of “kindergarten enrollment difficulty”.

Abstract: Climate change has a significant impact on the environment and is expected to increase the frequency and intensity of nature disaster and create new hazards (e.g., rise in sea level). As densely populated and resource-intensive regions, cities will experience the enhanced heat island effect, flooding or water scarcity as a result of extremes in rainfall, and severe storms may devastate entire settlements. In the face of a projected rise in the frequency and severity of nature disasters due to socio-economic developments and climate change the question arises of how to adapt to and ameliorate impacts of natural disasters. This paper provides some insights into this subject from an urban planning perspective and takes a review on the aspects of climate change impacts on urban economics, based on the practices of mitigation and adaptation experiences, some strategies of adaptation are provided and discussed at last.

Abstract: In this paper, census is made by means of 3S and data coding census technology on outstanding vernacular architecture of Jingxing County, Hebei Province, and quantitative screening technology is put forward in order to be able to objectively reflect the condition of the outstanding vernacular architecture of Jingxing County. It can be a reference for the screening of outstanding vernacular architecture of the other areas.

Abstract: With the development of Chinese urbanization process, Real estate industry obtains a rapid development, while some problems also emerge. Based on the current development in real estate industry, in this paper, I will use the Documentary Research Method to analyze the relationship between urbanization and the development of real estate, and to put forward some strategies for the development in real estate, such as widening financing channels, explicating the land property rights, strengthening macro-control as well as improving laws and regulations.
