政策与农耕:石咀头村40年景观变迁

在现代化导向的农业政策驱动下,中国传统乡村景观格局正在发生着深刻的变化.本研究采用地理学与人类学相结合的地理空间方法,通过参与式地理信息系统(PGIS)工具对晋西北一个典型农耕村庄40年来农耕景观变迁进行制图、调查与评价,寻找相应时期农业政策对农耕景观变迁的影响,分析农业政策的利与弊.结果表明:中国传统多样化种植正逐渐被工业化单一种植的农耕景观格局所代替,这些农耕变迁背后的驱动力在于一系列农业政策是以中国农耕体系的工业现代化为指针的,这些政策的目标是要引领传统农耕体系向"现代化"农业快速转变,但其结果却导致了传统农耕体系的衰落.所研究村庄的传统农耕体系在40年间迅速消失,而正是这一体系维持了当地千百年的食品安全与土地健康.本文建议,未来农业政策的制定者应在短期的农业经济收益与长期的农业可持续性之间寻求一种更合理的平衡,这也是全球变化背景下农业生态可持续发展的原则所要求的.

生态政策学及其评价方法

生态政策学是研究国家机关、政党及其他政治团体在特定时期为实现或服务于一定社会政治、经济、文化、环境目标所采取的生态行为或规定的行为准则,是政策学与生态学交叉学科。生态政策是服务于生态建设与管理的一系列谋略、法令、措施、办法、方法和条例的总称,主要通过生态项目建设的形式来实施。生态政策可持续性评价不仅包括现状评价,更要研究政策变化的最佳动态效果,判断政策调整的最佳时间与调整内容。及时科学的调整是政策执行效果可持续性的保证前提。生态政策组合主要体现3个基本思想:利用政府的行政管理能力、利用市场机制和利用经济增长机遇造福环境。不管全球生态政策如何演变,其不懈努力的宗旨非常明确,理性利用资源,降低生态环境治理费用,加快生态环境达标速度。生态政策评价的主要方法包括生态健康评价、生态系统服务与评价、生态项目的经济分析(市场价值法、影子价格法、机会成本法和替代效益分析法等)、人文社会评价(项目对周围群众生计的影响、执行与受益群体对项目的判断等)等方法。     

国内草原生态补偿研究进展

草原生态补偿是我国建设生态文明的必由之路。伴随着草原生态补偿奖励政策于2011年的实施,学术界就草原生态补偿展开了多视角、系统性和定量化的研究。基于文献研究法,文章在草原生态补偿主体、补偿客体、补偿标准、补偿方式、保障机制、牧民意愿及满意度以及补偿效应等方面对当前研究成果进行了系统梳理与总结,揭示了目前政策实施所存在的政策机制与激励机制不相容、补偿资金来源单一、补偿标准偏低、补偿形式单一、社会保障配套制度缺乏、监管缺失和法律机制不完善等问题;最后,对后续研究的重要领域进行展望:进一步加强多学科理论支撑体系研究,研究方法的规范统一,研究视域的拓展以及政策实施绩效评估等,以确保政策高效可持续实施。     

草原生态补助奖励政策牧民满意度及影响因素研究——基于甘肃青藏高原区与西部荒漠区的实证

草原生态补偿是我国建设生态文明的必由之路之一。牧民对草原生态补助奖励政策的满意度,一定程度上反映了补奖政策实施的绩效。甘肃省针对不同牧区特点,实施了差别化的补奖标准。选取甘肃青藏高原区和西部荒漠区两个不同草原牧区类型351户牧民为调研对象,结合入户深度访谈和调查问卷,构建满意度评价指标体系,测定了不同牧区牧民对草原生态补奖政策的满意度,借助Logistic模型分析不同牧区牧民政策满意度与影响因素。结果表明:(1)牧民对草原生态补奖政策总体满意度偏低,满意度综合指数为67.24%。(2)牧民生计多样化对政策评价具有重要影响。西部荒漠区牧民收入来源较青藏高原区多样化,畜牧业所占比重低于青藏高原区,政策实施对牧民收入影响较小,青藏高原区牧民满意度为62.43%,低于西部荒漠区的72.35%。(3)牧民对政策作用的认知、家庭规模以及对政策的了解,是影响两个区域牧民对政策满意度的共同因素,但两个区域呈现出较大差异性。因此,在后续政策实施中,实施"精准补偿"措施,多样化补偿标准和补偿方式,加强政策宣传和引导,示范引领安置牧民,延长畜牧业产业链,实现畜牧产业"三产"融合,逐步实现草原生态保护、牧业转型发展和牧民增收三方共赢。     

医药分开政策对深圳市公立医院经营效益的影响

目的 探讨医药分开政策对医院经营效益所产生的影响。方法 运用对比研究及半结构式访谈法对广东省深圳市6家试点公立医院的经营效益状况进行分析。结果 医药分开政策实施后深圳市试点城市公立医院药品收入减少,医院业务收入增加;大型三甲医院及专科医院门急诊人次及住院人次、收支结余率均增加,基层医院则减少;试点城市公立医院次均门诊费用及次均住院费用均上升。结论 医药分开政策在一定程度上优化收入结构,但医疗费用过高问题仍然突出,仍需完善补偿机制。     

农业面源污染管理政策调控仿真模型研究进展

农业面源污染因其分散性、滞后性和不确定性而成为环境治理的难点。面源污染物迁移转化过程的模拟模型发展迅速,而农业面源污染管理政策仿真评估模型研究相对较为滞后。系统梳理与分析了自上而下宏观目标约束、自下而上微观行为传导及宏观与微观上下耦合三类政策仿真模型研究进展,总结了当前模型的基础理论与方法的优势与不足。本文提出了融合流域水系统过程规律认知,构建宏观政策目标自上而下约束与微观主体行为自下而上传导耦合的农业面源污染政策仿真模型,实现政策仿真模拟在国家、区域、流域与栅格跨尺度上的嵌套传导、参数互验与系统预测,以解决因农业面源污染防治主体的多元性与防治对象的广泛性特征所导致的复杂性系统难题,使得政策效应模拟仿真结果空间显性化,进而实现农业面源污染控制的政策管理由粗放型向精准化方向迈进。     

中国增汇型气候保护政策实施对经济的影响

系统地给出了中国实施增汇型CO2减排政策对宏观经济影响的模拟结果,所采用的模拟系统包括基于Pizer,Demeter,Zwaan工作发展的中国气候保护决策支持系统和中国经济可计算一般均衡(CGE)系统。研究结果表明,增汇型气候保护政策较其他单一的气候保护政策更有利于国家经济安全;虽然增汇型气候保护政策在短期内会对国家GDP产出造成影响,但从长远角度看,增汇型气候保护将带动经济的发展,是一项值得推广的减排政策。同时,发现中国实行每年增加4%的碳汇和实施4%能源替代以减少CO2排放控制率,辅助于0.2%的生产型CO2排放控制率,如果能够促进世界其它地区到2050年减排1990年的10%的CO,是一个合适的方案。     

基于“管制平衡”的草原生态补偿政策参与式干预发展评价研究

从整体性治理理论视角出发,深入分析了草原生态补偿政策实施过程中的管制与治理维度,认为草原生态补偿政策是一个"管制平衡"导向型政策,进而提出从"参与式干预发展"的角度对该政策的实施效果进行综合性评价。基于内蒙古锡林郭勒典型草原的一个纯牧业嘎查(村庄)的案例研究,将参与式干预发展评价(PADev)方法的应用进行了详细呈现,并获得了兼具"形成性"和"主体间性"的综合性评价结论与发现。为验证PADev的适合性和科学性,从"元评价"的角度,进一步呈现了基于生态调研和抽样社会调查的评价,作为PADev方法的"验证性"评价。案例研究发现,草原生态补偿政策的地位和作用体现在"草-畜-人"历史性(长达35年,从1983年牲畜承包开始)发展变迁的结构关系中,从政策作用的末端来评价生态补偿政策所产生的生态效益,比较难以直接确定其因果关系,但从基于制度变迁的路径依赖及未来发展的角度,政府主导的生态补偿政策将积极地促进牧民们的自主整合和适应市场的发展,以及"生态载畜量"和"实际载畜量"的收敛趋同。     

Craft Experiences

Music education exists within a web of policies. Those most often identified by music teachers and professional associations are the policies imposed on the profession by governmental and regulatory bodies. Advocacy efforts to change policy are mostly directed toward these bodies. However, the practice of music education is perhaps more influenced by subtle policies that affect teachers' values, expectations, and practices. In this article, Nye's concepts of "hard" and "soft" power are adapted and used as a paradigm for categorization and analysis of policy to illustrate this situation. Using this model reveals that while some hard policies specific to music education advocate a progressive music education, other hard policies may interfere with this agenda and soft policies seem to maintain the status quo. Recommendations are made for building the capacity of teachers to understand, study, and influence policy.     

Optimal intervention for epidemic models with general infection and removal rate functions

 In this paper, known results on optimal intervention policies for the general stochastic epidemic model are extended to epidemic models with more general infection and removal rate functions. We consider first policies allowing for the isolation of any number of infectives from the susceptible population at any time, secondly policies allowing for the immunisation of the entire susceptible population at any time, and finally policies allowing for either of these interventions. In each case the costs of infection, isolation and immunisation are assumed to have a particular, rather simple, form. Sufficient conditions are given on the infection and removal rate functions of the model for the optimal policies to take the same simple form as in the case of the general stochastic epidemic model. More general costs are briefly discussed, and some numerical examples given. Finally, we discuss possible directions for further work. Received: 16 February 1999     

A review of climate change adaptation policies applied to landscape planning and design in Korea

This paper reviews how recent climate change policies in Korea have affected practices in landscape planning and design. By illuminating the gaps between government policies on climate change and actual practices in planning and design, the study aims to provide useful directions for future research and practices. The primary problems we found are as follows: (1) the government’s recent aggressive climate change policies have partly resulted in an adverse effect on the environment; (2) planning and design tools to implement climate change policies do not tend to consider local characteristics and different biophysical and sociocultural contexts; (3) climate change policies in Korea developed by different governmental departments are not coordinated well enough to effectively meet the policy goals; and (4) design tools or guidelines intended to aid the implementation of climate change policies at site level must be improved through the use of creative ideas and empirical tests. For future research, we recommend hunting for critical evidence as to why climate change policies are not implemented effectively in a particular local context, and determining how such failures can be overcome by applying adequate measures in planning and design.     

Life-cycle based government policies a survey

This paper examines how different Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) approaches, from full LCA’s to more qualitative LCA’s, are being used internationally in the development of government policies. Examples from 14 countries are provided for recent initiatives in various forms of policy which were developed to move national environmental policies toward the more life-cycle based programs. They indicate that a broader frame of reference is beginning to be used by those who write such policies. Discussion is also provided on the barriers that slow the adoption of life-cycle approaches in the development of government policies.     

Charging up Battery Recycling Policies: Extended Producer Responsibility for Single‐Use Batteries in the European Union,Canada, and the United States

Extended producer responsibility (EPR) policies have proven effective at raising consumer awareness, expanding waste collection infrastructure, and shifting costs of end‐of‐life (EOL) management from municipalities to stewardship organizations. Yet, such policies have been less successful in advancing waste management programs that ensure a net environmental benefit. This article analyzes how EPR policies for single‐use batteries in the European Union (EU), Canada, and the United States address the environmental costs and benefits of EOL management. Considering these EPR policies is instructive, because single‐use batteries have high collection costs and are of relatively low economic value for waste processors. Without deliberate planning, the environmental burdens of collecting and recycling such batteries may exceed the benefits. This article considers how EPR policies for single‐use batteries integrate performance requirements such as collection rates, recycling efficiencies, and best available techniques. It argues that for such policies to be effective, they need to be extended to address waste collection practices, the life cycle consequences of EOL management, and the quality of recovered materials. Such strategies are relevant to EPR policies for other products with marginal secondary value, including some textiles, plastics, and other types of electronic waste.     

Continuous punishment and the potential of gentle rule enforcement

The paper explores the conditions that determine the effect of rule enforcement policies that imply an attempt to punish all the visible violations of the rule. We start with a simple game-theoretic analysis that highlights the value of gentle COntinuous Punishment (gentle COP) policies. If the subjects of the rule are rational, gentle COP can eliminate violations even when the rule enforcer has limited resources. The second part of the paper uses simulations to examine the robustness of gentle COP policies to likely deviations from rationality. The results suggest that when the probability of detecting violations is sufficiently high, gentle COP policies can be effective even when the subjects of the rule are boundedly rational adaptive learners. The paper concludes with experimental studies that clarify the value of gentle COP policies in the lab, and in attempt to eliminate cheating in exams.     

基于政策工具视角的中国生物产业政策差异性分析

产业发展离不开产业政策的制定与发布,产业政策对于产业具有导向性与支持性,其制定主体主要包括中央政府和地方政府。以生物产业为例,采用计量分析的方法,搜集并整理了中央政府以及湖北、深圳、重庆、上海、北京五个地方政府颁布的生物产业政策,对其外部属性特征进行差异性分析,同时对多份国家层面的生物产业结构性政策运用内容分析的方法,进行政策工具分类分析,并构建了“政策工具-生物产业发展阶段”二维政策工具分析框架,探讨不同产业发展阶段之间政策工具使用的差异性。研究发现,中央政府与地方政府生物产业政策密集发布年份存在差异,且与生物产业发展关键节点有关联;国家层面生物产业政策不同类型政策工具使用频率差距较大,以环境型政策工具为主,较少使用需求型政策工具。针对研究结果,从我国生物产业发展情况及区域间差异的角度提出了相关政策建议。     

Accepting immigrants as fellow citizens: citizenship representations in relation to migration policy preferences

Citizenship representations within national populations have mainly been deduced from state policies on migration. Yet, at the individual level, no studies have investigated whether citizenship representations are reliably associated with preferences for specific migration policies (i.e. the underlying assumption for deducing citizenship representations from state policies). Because several studies have shown that state policies may not reflect understandings of citizenship within national populations, it may be more relevant to study citizenship representations at the individual level, in relation to personal preferences regarding migration policies. This study examined how ethnic, cultural and civic citizenship representations relate to migration policy preferences at the individual level among majority group high-school students (N = 1,734) in seven EU countries. Findings add to the understanding of citizenship representations and may have implications for the implementation of migration policies.     

Biodiversity informatics in Eastern Africa: Status,drivers and barriers

This article uses content analysis to review policies and relevant documents that promote or hinder the generation and use of biodiversity data in Eastern Africa. The review found that all countries in the region are committed to international and regional conventions that emphasize the protection and conservation of biodiversity. Some of the other drivers for biodiversity informatics include countries’ national biodiversity related policies although there are few, which highlight the need for biodiversity data management systems. However, the existing policies are deficient in terms of policies for biodiversity data management. Suggestions to ensure the success of biodiversity informatics in East Africa include: (i) Avoiding overlaps but promoting complementarities within and/or between different institutions and stakeholders involved in biodiversity conservation; (ii) Putting in place clear, complete and simple policy documents pertaining to biodiversity data management.     

Constructing common sense: Language and ethnicity in Ukrainian public discourse

Immigrant integration policies are commonly assumed to be shaped by traditional understandings of citizenship and belonging. Accordingly, such policy frameworks are considered path-dependent and thus stable over time. The recent surge of radical right anti-immigrant parties in many Western European countries challenges this stability-thesis. Several scholars contend that this change in the party political landscape caused an illiberal turn, resulting in more restrictive integration policies. This paper tests whether integration policies are indeed challenged by radical right parties, or whether they remain path-dependent policy frameworks, using subnational comparative analysis. The results of our cross-sectional regression analysis over twenty six Swiss cantons reveal that cantonal integration policies reflect clear patterns of regional citizenship culture, suggesting that they remain stable policy frameworks. By contrast, the considerable electoral success of the right populist Swiss People's Party (SVP) over the last two decades did not directly result in more restrictive cantonal integration policies.
