A comprehensive study of the movement trajectory and core driving factors of movement of center of gravity of Chinese-style modernization in the Yangtze River Economic Belt bears significant implications for optimizing resource allocation among provinces within the Belt in material and spiritual civilization construction driven by technological innovation. This endeavor not only facilitates the establishment of relations of production compatible with the new quality productive forces, thus providing robust support for further productivity development, but also promotes the high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, injecting new vitality into regional economic prosperity and stability. Guided by the five characteristics of Chinese-style modernization and adhering to principles of scientific rigor, rationality, and foresight, a comprehensive evaluation index system for Chinese-style modernization in the Yangtze River Economic Belt has been constructed. Utilizing entropy method and first-order autoregressive model prediction, the comprehensive evaluation index of Chinese-style modernization in the Yangtze River Economic Belt for the period 2005 to 2035 has been statistically measured. Building upon this foundation, a profound analysis of the spatial evolution trends of Chinese-style modernization in the Yangtze River Economic Belt has been conducted using an improved Jenks natural breaks classification method and direction distribution method. Furthermore, employing a panel data spatial Durbin model with fixed effects, the core driving factors influencing the movement of center of gravity of Chinese-style modernization in the Yangtze River Economic Belt have been identified. The main conclusions drawn are: 1. Chinese-style modernization in the Yangtze River Economic Belt exhibits a gradient decline in spatial pattern from upstream to downstream; 2. During the study period, the movement of center of gravity of Chinese-style modernization in the Yangtze River Economic Belt has moved from the northeast direction towards the southwest, with coordinated development of material and spiritual civilization being the core driving factor for this movement. These findings hold significant theoretical value and practical implications for the tailored advancement of Chinese-style modernization in the provinces within the Yangtze River Economic Belt.

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.

Because of the cultural and political nature of contemporary human waste, Metabolic rifts in waste disposal become more delayed in time, more widespread in space, and less visible in process, more entropy, which produced many kinds of injustice and worsen the existing ecological crisis. Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens L.) is a kind of insect that can process organic wastes such as food waste and livestock manure without secondary pollution, and produce high-quality organic fertilizers and animal protein which can improve soil quality and substitute imported resources. As a non-human agent, Black Soldier Fly plays an important role in organic waste treatment, entropy thrift and balance of nature maintenance, and also has high value in resource utilization of organic waste. The promotion of Black Soldier Fly biotechnology to treat organic waste can not only repair the injustice resulted from current waste disposal methods from the dimensions of time, space, ethnic group and species, and also repair multiple Metabolic rifts in knowledge and emotion. The (re) discovery of non-human ecological citizens such as Black Soldier Fly tells us that the nature has great power to repair itself, but it requires human scientific discovery, technological collaboration, and reorganizing of human lifestyle.

Flood resilience reflects the comprehensive response ability of communities and regions in the face of flood disasters. With the acceleration of global climate change and urbanization, the risk of flood disasters is increasing. In this context, it is of great significance to carry out the assessment of flood resilience. In this paper, taking Guangdong Province in 2020 as an example, the evaluation index of flood resilience is constructed based on PSR model. Using Game Theory to combine subjective and objective weights, TOPSIS method is used to evaluate the flood resilience of 21 prefecture level cities in Guangdong Province, and its spatial characteristics and obstacle factors are analyzed. The results show that the level of flood resilience of most cities in Guangdong Province is not high, and there is a gap between different cities. On the whole, the level of flood resilience of cities in the Pearl River Delta is higher than that of other cities; Spatially, the level of flood resilience shows a spatial pattern with Guangzhou as the center, high in the South and low in the East, West and North, and there is a significant level of spatial aggregation; The main obstacle factors affecting flood resilience are: medical conditions, risk response ability and communication ability. The research results of this paper can provide the corresponding theoretical basis for the construction and management of urban flood resilience.

The geographical thoughts provide a solid theoretical support for the integration of the Carbon Peaking and Carbon Neutrality Goals education into the high school geography teaching. The connotation and realization path of Carbon Peaking and Carbon Neutrality Goals profoundly reflect the core concepts of geography, such as the coupling thought of geographical pattern and process, the holistic thought, the scale thought, and the man-land relationship. Based on the strong alignment between these two areas, this paper explores strategies for integrating geographical thought into high school geography teaching on Carbon Peaking and Carbon Neutrality Goals. The aim is to leverage the strengths of geographical thought to advance the realization of the Carbon Peaking and Carbon Neutrality Goals, cultivate students' awareness of Carbon Peaking and Carbon Neutrality Goals and lay the groundwork for addressing climate change and achieving sustainable development.

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.

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.

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.

Since its publication at the end of 1960s, Hardin's theory of "The Tragedy of the Commons" has solicited a lot of criticisms. Some scholars pinpoint that a lot of indigenous people hold their traditions and practices to respond to the overuse of natural resources. In recent years, discussion on the concept of "commoning" has emerged in political ecology, as scholars expand the meaning of "commoning" from a narrow framework of resource management to the broader issue of exploring an anti-capitalist space. As a word, "commoning" emphasizes the process of "value struggle", in which "common value" transcends commodity value. However, some western scholars lay hope on the community, a third way between state and market, as a site of "commoning", but pay little attention to state-led practices of "commoning". In Inner Mongolia, after the implementation of the "grassland and livestock double-contracted responsibility" policy, pastoralists had to endure the "the tragedy of the private" that featured the degradation of pastures and rise of production expenses. Now, several Gachas started to establish collective economy. This paper explores the two cases in which party branch took the lead to set up cooperatives in Xilingol League. Situated in a historical context of "collectivization-decollectivization-recollectivization", the two cases reveal how new collective economies expand ecological and social commons to help pastoralists achieve common prosperity. The "commoning" practices in China emphasize how government can play a key role leading to ecological "holistic productivity" and common economic prosperity, offering unique experience to the management of "commons" for the Global South.

Energy is the foundation and driving force of human civilization's progress and is related to human survival and development. It is of great importance to promote economic and social development and enhance people's well-being. Household energy consumption has important contributions to reducing energy consumption and improving the environment, and its spatial heterogeneity is particularly significant, but traditional methods have limited spatial analysis. The introduction of spatial econometric methods has brought a new research perspective to this field, enabling a more accurate understanding of the spatial heterogeneity of household energy consumption and its impacts and helping to formulate energy-related policies from a geographical perspective. This paper uses the CiteSpace software and traditional literature research methods to systematically review and critique the research on household energy consumption based on spatial econometric methods. First, a literature co-citation analysis of research hotspots shows that in recent years, carbon emissions, energy consumption, energy demand, and urban and rural areas are the research hotspots for household energy consumption. Second, the study found that scholars have gradually shifted from macro-scale analysis to micro-and meso-level discussions involving village surveys, residential family behavior, and cultural characteristics. Third, the research progress was analyzed from the perspectives of the spatial pattern and differences in household energy consumption, the changes in household energy consumption and their influencing factors, and policy responses and environmental effects. Finally, the paper looks forward to the theoretical framework of China's household energy consumption based on spatial econometric methods, policy evaluation energy conservation and emission reduction, and interdisciplinary integrated research from the perspectives of geography, spatial econometrics, economics, and other disciplines.

From a long-term perspective, the impact of transport development on regional economic growth should distinguish between fundamental and direct causes. This paper proposes that the induced spatial changes in economic activities are one of the fundamental reasons why transport development affects regional economic growth. The spatial changes in economic activities induced by transport development manifest as two interrelated processes: the expansion and deepening of economic activity spaces. These changes influence regional economic growth through scope effects, competition effects, and innovation effects. By selecting the average passenger travel distance as a variable to describe the spatial changes in economic activities, and using iterative GMM estimation, spatial lag models, and spatial GMM estimation methods, the analysis based on provincial panel data from China shows that the output elasticity of the average passenger travel distance on per capita GDP ranges between 0.08 and 0.12. This indicates that transport development positively promotes regional economic growth by expanding the space of economic activities. This conclusion provides new insights for a deeper understanding and utilization of the role of transport development in regional economic growth.

The social integration of the floating population has emerged as a central issue in the context of China's new urbanization. Urban villages, as a primary type of migrant settlement, exert complex influences on migrants' integration experiences. However, the mechanisms through which residential conditions in urban villages affect social integration remain underexplored. Moreover, existing studies predominantly emphasize local integration processes, often overlooking the role of trans-regional interactions. Drawing on original survey data collected in Guangzhou, this study introduces a social capital perspective and develops a theoretical framework linking urban village residence-social capital–social integration. A moderated mediation model is employed to systematically examine: (1) the direct effects of residing in urban villages on social integration; (2) the mediating role of social capital, including relational networks, trust, and reciprocity norms; and (3) the moderating influence of return migration frequency. The findings indicate that: (1) living in urban villages significantly lowers the level of social integration among the floating population, reaffirming the spatial segregation effect; (2) social capital serves as a key mediating mechanism, with relationship networks, trust, and reciprocity acting as distinct transmission pathways; and (3) a higher frequency of returning to one's hometown mitigates the adverse effects of urban village residence on both social capital and social integration, by providing emotional, social, and material support from origin communities. This reveals the moderating function of cross-regional social ties in the integration process. This study advances current understandings of how urban village residential environments influence migrant integration, while extending the application of social capital theory within migration studies. It further highlights the potential of urban villages as spaces for social capital reconstruction and emphasizes the importance of migrants' sustained linkages between their hometowns and host cities. These insights contribute to promoting more inclusive and human-centered urbanization strategies.

Political ecology is an interdisciplinary theoretical paradigm that emerged in the 1970s‒1980s, aiming to analyze power relations in environmental issues and uncover the underlying injustices and inequalities. This paper systematically elucidates the theoretical connotation of political ecology and constructs its theoretical profile through three dimensions: ideological origins, theoretical purports, and value orientation. The escalating environmental crisis has exposed the theoretical and practical limitations of traditional "human-excluded" ecology, giving rise to "human-included" or "political" ecology. The critiques of Malthusian population theory by Marx and Engels played a significant role in the formation of political ecology. Political ecology can also be regarded as an "expanded" ecology and a "specialized" political economy. Theoretically, political ecology focuses on power dynamics in environmental issues, employs cross-scale analytical methods, emphasizes practice-oriented case studies, and engages with discourse analysis or deconstruction of dominant narratives In terms of value orientation, political ecology fundamentally seeks to expose injustices and inequalities in environmental problems. From the perspective of its intellectual character, political ecology combines the deconstructive function of an "axe" with the constructive potential of a "seed", striving to advance fairness, justice, and sustainable development in environmental governance.

Political ecology emerged in the 1970s and has evolved in response to the intensifying global ecological crisis. Over the past five decades, it has become a vital theoretical framework and practical tool for understanding and addressing global environmental challenges. Unlike the more mainstream Anglophone tradition, German political ecology has developed along a distinct intellectual trajectory shaped by different theoretical traditions, social contexts, and modes of public engagement. These factors have led to unique methodological approaches, analytical perspectives, and research agendas. This paper reviews key literature in German-language political ecology, explores its distinctive contributions to the broader field of political ecology, and highlights existing limitations, aiming to offer new theoretical insights for future research.
