Abstract:
Xichang city was taken as the research area. Based on the land use data obtained by DEM and remote sensing interpretation, the distribution characteristics of land use under the influence of four terrain factors were obtained by superposition processing of extracted topographic factors (elevation, slope, aspect, topography) and land use status map with the support of GIS software and spatial technology. And the coupling relationship was further analyzed between land use spatial distribution and topographic factors. The results showed that (1) the land use type in Xichang City was mainly forest land, accounting for 50.51% of the total area. The area size of grassland was close to that of cultivated land, paddy field, or construction land, and the proportion of water body and other land types were small; (2) Each land use type showed a law of ladder change in different elevation, slope and topographic level; the land use degree of sunny slope and semi-sunny slope was higher than that of shady slope and semi-shady slope, and the water body was not affected by slope direction; (3) Land use types in Xichang City were relatively strictly limited by topographical factors, and currently, there was no extremely large-scale distribution caused by strong human disturbances and geological disasters.

2019, 40(5): 29-33,59. doi: 10.16779/j.cnki.1003-5508.2019.05.006
Abstract:
Forest carbon sequestration is one of the important ways to mitigate climate change. Forest farmers' intention to participate in forest carbon sequestration has a root effect on carbon sequestration management. In this study, social trust, the core element of social capital theory, was incorporated into TPB theory. The structural equation model was used to analyze 206 forest farmers in Heping County. The results showed that social trust had a positive driving effect on farmers' intention to participate; subjective norms directly or indirectly drove farmers' intention to participate through farmers' participation attitude; perceptual behavior control indirectly drove farmers' intention to participate through farmers' participation attitude, and there was no direct driving effect on farmers' intention to participate. The conclusions provided theoretical and practical basis for promoting forest farmers to participate in forestry carbon sequestration projects.

Analysis of Space Utilization Characteristics of Human Activities and Giant Pandas(Ailuropoda melanoleuca) in Wolong Nature Reserve
DEME Luo-ying, WANG Xiao, ZHANG Jin-dong
2019, 40(5): 60-65. doi: 10.16779/j.cnki.1003-5508.2019.05.012
Abstract:
There were three main hypotheses of spatial coexistence between wild animals and human beings, which were co-existence at regional scale, co-existence at intermediate scale and co-existence at fine scale. Identifying the space utilization mode of humans and wild animals could provide scientific reference for the protection and management of wild animals. Therefore, infrared cameras were used to monitor the activities of giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) and human activities in the centralized distribution area of giant pandas in Wolong Nature Reserve. The coexistence mechanism between giant panda and humans was discussed by analyzing the spatial distribution characteristics of giant pandas and human activities. The results showed that (1) at the beginning of the study (2011.11-2013.04), the monthly relative abundance of human activities was relatively low, while the monthly relative abundance of giant pandas detected in this region was relatively high. However, since May 2013, the intensity of human activities increased sharply and stably at a high level, which resulted in a sharp decrease in the monthly relative abundance of giant pandas. (2) Although the use of key limiting factors (such as water sources) led to the overlaps of giant pandas and human activities, in general, the occurrence frequency of giant pandas significantly reduced in regions where human activities frequently occurred. Based on analysis of the three mechanisms of human and wildlife coexistence, the coexistence mode was co-existence at intermediate scale between giant pandas and human activities. Human activities restricted the survival and development of wild animals to a certain extent. The management department should fully consider the impact of human disturbance activities on giant pandas, formulate policies for sustainable development, meanwhile, reduce competition for space and resources between humans and giant pandas.
