The rapid pace of urbanization and the continuous evolution of social attitudes underscore the importance of examining subjective well-being among migrants from a gender perspective. Based on the literature in the Web of Science Core Collection database, CiteSpace was used to analyze the related literature econometrically. The research on migrants' subjective well-being from the gender perspective is systematized in terms of relevant theories, temporal and spatial evolution characteristics, research hotspots, regional differences, and so on. The findings indicate that theories about subjective well-being are evolving at a rapid pace, with a research trend exhibiting a fluctuating upward trajectory. The research area has a strong localization. The main topics of interest in current research include: multidimensional characteristics, family well-being, social problems, and group differences. Concurrently, domestic and international research trends exhibit differentiation, which is reflected in the research theme, object, perspective, and other aspects. It is proposed that Chinese migrant women exhibit distinctive characteristics that warrant further investigation. In the future, academics should strive to enhance and expand the research on subjective well-being by focusing on themes such as the multifaceted effects and underlying mechanisms of subjective well-being, China's socio-cultural context, and geographic perspectives.
Based on a recent questionnaire survey in Nanjing, this paper explores the social integration level of rural migrant women and its influencing factors from the perspective of generational differences. The main conclusions are as follows: (1) The social integration level of rural floating women is not high, and the integration level of four sub-dimensions from high to low are economic integration, social adaptation, cultural integration, and psychological integration. (2) There are differences in the level of social integration among two generations of rural migrant women. The new generation of rural migrant women has a higher social integration level in general, but their integration in the sub-dimension shows different characteristics. (3) High-quality human capital, family migration patterns, and a good community environment can effectively promote the social integration of rural migrant women. (4) There are differences in influencing factors of social integration between the new and old generations. Individual factors play a more prominent role in promoting the social integration of the new generation of rural migrant women. The effect of family migration on the social integration of the older generation is stronger than that of the new generation. The new and old generations pay different attention to the community level. The old generation pays attention to community security and the surrounding shopping and medical facilities, whereas the new generation pays attention to the community activity space, education, and medical facilities.
Based on data from the 2017 China Migrant Dynamic Survey (CMDS), this paper investigates the heterogeneous effects of work and family factors on the settlement intentions of migrants and their gender differences, and examines the moderating role of education. The study finds that (1) the impact of family migration is significantly higher than employment stability for both men and women, and family reunion has become a common priority value in the settlement decision of China's internal migrants. There is no gender difference in the impact of family migration, while the impact of employment stability is significantly higher for men. (2) The experience of higher education significantly increases the importance of work in the settlement decision-making of female migrants, but significantly reduces the importance of work and family for males, so that the differences between work and family, and between males and females, tend to disappear. Highly educated females are more in need of a gender-equal labor market and socio-cultural environment. (3) The experience of migration has had a significant impact on the gender perceptions of both male and female migrants, but women's perceptions are still largely limited by their economic capacity. The article proposes policy recommendations for the improvement of urban social environment and research topics on gender differences and notion transformations of the migrant population.
Living conditions play a key role in the mental health of rural migrant women. A large number of rural migrant women have moved to cities in search of opportunities, but the poor living conditions of most of them have triggered the discussion of health inequality. Using data from a questionnaire survey conducted in Fuzhou, the study examines the effects of living conditions on rural migrant women's mental health and their mechanisms of action in terms of four dimensions: type of neighborhood, source of housing, housing facilities, and satisfaction with housing quality. The study found that: (1) the mental health of rural migrant women is generally good, and nearly 30% of the interviewed group may have some degree of mental health problems; (2) The effects of different dimensions of living conditions vary: living in old communities and urban villages, having complete housing facilities and a high degree of satisfaction with the quality of housing positively affects rural migrant women's mental health; renting and owning housing negatively affects rural migrant women's mental health; (3) Social integration and neighborhood interaction play a degree of mediating effect: Social integration partially mediates the effects of housing facilities and satisfaction with housing quality on the mental health of rural migrant women, overshadowing some of the negative effects of rented housing; Neighborhood interactions play a partially mediating role in the impact effects of community type as old communities and urban village and housing amenities, overshadowing some of the negative impacts of the economic pressures of homeownership.
After the end of Suharto's rule, Indonesia embarked on a large-scale decentralization movement, resulting in significant changes to its territorial governance structure. As a key region for territorial research, Indonesia provides a valuable case study. This paper, grounded in a theoretical overview of decentralization and territorial evolution, examines the transformations in Indonesia's territorial governance under decentralization.The findings of this study are as follows: First, local governments in Indonesia have gained increased authority and responsibilities following decentralization, emerging as key actors in territorial governance. Second, territorial fragmentation, territorial autonomy, and territorial independence have become the three most prominent forms of governance in post-decentralization Indonesia. Third, territorial governance in Indonesia is dynamically evolving, shaped by the ongoing interplay between central and local governments. Together, these various forms of governance create a complex structure of territorial governance in the country. This paper contributes to a deeper, region-specific understanding of Indonesia. Its implications underscore the importance of fully understanding and respecting Indonesia's unique national context in the process of collaboration and communication between China and Indonesia. Moreover, it highlights the critical role of local governments in Indonesia's territorial governance.
The undergraduate major "Human Geography and Urban-Rural Planning" places particular emphasis on the equal importance of the theoretical perspective of geography and planning practice abilities. However, due to various constraints, this major faces several shortcomings in cultivating the planning practice abilities of students. Targeting at these issues, Beijing Normal University (BNU) established a urban-rural planning practice base together with Huzhou City's Institute of Urban Planning Design and Research in 2017. Through continuous exploration over 7 years, the base has gradually established an "Industry-University-Research" model for the planning practice course that can meet the major's requirement for talent cultivation. Combining with teaching practice, this study introduces in detail the design idea of the course and its evolution, and summarizes its innovation and special features. In particular, it discusses the effectiveness of teaching designs including "three-into-one" topic selection, "authentic planning and assessment" and "dual mentors" in enhancing the planning abilities and related skills of students. Meanwhile, based on students' feedback, this study employs text analysis to further reveal the effectiveness of the course, indicating that it shows considerable effects in promoting the integrated application of knowledge, understanding the complexity of urban-rural planning, and enhancing planning and design capabilities. In addition, the course is also effective in strengthening students' identification with the major and ideological and political education.
This paper presents the design and development of a virtual simulation experiment system tailored to the educational needs concerning the formation and vegetation management of wind-sand landforms in the Yarlung Tsangpo River (referred to as Yar River) valley. The system adheres to the principles of comprehensiveness and inquiry-based learning in geography, as well as the interactivity and enjoyment of experiments, aiming to enhance students' theoretical knowledge, field practice skills, innovative thinking, and environmental awareness. By employing virtual simulation technology to create an immersive learning environment, students can safely and controllably simulate wind-sand landform surveys and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) remote sensing data collection. They can also integrate surface albedo, soil moisture, and vegetation indices to construct remote sensing inversion models and estimate surface sandification levels. Building on this, the system introduces the simulation of wind-sand landform management strategies through vegetation spatial configuration. The curriculum design integrates multidisciplinary knowledge from geography, ecology, and remote sensing technology, which is conducive to fostering the cultivation of students' comprehensive thinking abilities. This experiment constructs a teaching model that combines field data-driven and immersive virtual simulation technology for the sandification and management issues of plateau river valleys, providing rich learning resources and an autonomous learning evaluation system. It encourages students' independent inquiry and innovative attempts. With technological advancements, the virtual simulation experiment system is expected to promote the development of geography teaching towards a more efficient and open direction and contribute to the construction of online and offline integrated geography internship course application models.
Structuring course content and systematize teaching objectives are a basic and basic research problem of human geography teaching in senior high school. Based on the regional system of human-land relationship, the regional perspective and human-land relationship should be the cutting point of the content structure of human geography and the objective system analysis of high school. When sorting out the content structure of human geography in high school, spatial distribution, spatial process and spatial connection can be the core themes, and the formation mechanism of the regional system can be used to establish the connection of core themes, and integrate the content of human geography curriculum in high school. When analyzing the teaching goal system of human geography in senior high school, attention should be paid attention to guiding students to understand the spatial distribution, spatial process and spatial connection of human activities as a whole, so as to "road sign" to build a "road map" of student development that runs through the core literacy training goals, module course goals and specific class hour goals. The structured curriculum content and systematic teaching objectives based on the regional system of human and land relations are helpful to make the high school human geography teaching "overall" and "orderly", and promote the common development of teachers and students.
In order to stimulate and cultivate students' interest in geography and mobilize the internal driving force of students ' learning, this paper constructs the influencing factors of high school students' interest in geography learning, and uses the analytic hierarchy process to quantify the driving factors of high school students' interest in geography learning. The research shows that among the first-level indicators, the weight value of the emotional index is 0.723 5, which is much higher than the other two indicators of input and willingness, which indicates that the emotional index has the most prominent driving effect on the interest of high school students in geography learning. And the three second-level indicators of wonderful geographical landscape indicator, geographical importance indicator and knowledge usefulness indicator under the emotional indicators have a significantly higher driving effect on students' interest in geography learning than other second-level indicators. In addition, it is worth noting that the three second-level indicators of serious thinking indicator and classroom concentration indicator under the input indicators and the future learning indicator under the willingness indicators also have a certain driving effect. Therefore, teachers can give full play to the unique charm of geography in teaching, choose materials close to the actual life of students, create teaching situations with geographical characteristics, and design the problem chains that conform to students' learning situation and logical progression. This will help teachers to create a vibrant geography classroom and improve students' interest in geography learning imperceptibly.
