Abstract:
The genus Paratachardina Balachowsky (Hemiptera: Coccoidea: Kerriidae) is revised to include nine species: P. decorella (Maskell), P. minuta (Morrison), P. mithila Varshney, P. morobensis Williams & Watson, P. silvestri (Mahdihassan), P. ternata (Chamberlin), P. theae (Green), and two new species. Tachardina lobata Chamberlin (now P. lobata) is synonymized with Tachardia silvestri Mahdihassan (now P. silvestri), based on examination of type specimens. Paratachardina capsella Wang is transferred to Albotachardina Zhang as Albotachardina capsella (Wang) comb. nov. We provide a revised taxonomic key to the genera of the family Kerriidae and to all known species of the genus Paratachardina. All Paratachardina species are redescribed and illustrated with the exception of P. mithila. One of the new species described here is the polyphagous and pestiferous lobate lac scale, which damages trees and woody shrubs in Florida, U.S.A., the Bahamas and the territory of Christmas Island, Australia, and has been identified mistakenly as Paratachardina lobata (Chamberlin), an insect native to India and Sri Lanka. Here we recognize the lobate lac scale as a new species, name itParatachardina pseudolobata sp. nov. and describe it based on all stages of the female (adult, second instar and first instar). In addition, a second new species, P. mahdihassani sp. nov., is described based on adult females from India.

Christmas Island and Macquarie Island are two isolated islands of essentially the same size but providing very different environmental conditions for myxomycetes. The former is located in the tropics and the latter in the subantarctic. Surveys for myxomycetes carried out on Christmas Island in 2017 and Macquarie Island in 1995 yielded a total of 85 species. These data were published in two previous papers, but these papers did not consider the biogeographical distribution of all of the myxomycetes recorded from the two islands. Christmas Island and Macquarie Island share only nine species in common. Two of the 26 species recorded from Macquarie Island and one of the 68 species recorded Christmas Island were new to science.

Full text
Abstract:
The land crab,Discoplax celeste(Gecarcinidae) is endemic to Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean. Due to a freshwater-dependant life history, in which the megalopae migrate from the ocean up freshwater streams to their adult terrestrial/freshwater habitat,D. celesteinhabits only a few isolated locations on the island. This restricted distribution is one of a number of factors which has previously highlighted the vulnerability of this species to outside threats. A number of anthropogenic factors including the introduction of multiple invasive species and habitat destruction have led to drastic ecosystem change on Christmas Island. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the restricted geographical distributions ofD. celestepopulations contribute to significant genetic structuring across Christmas Island, with an objective to inform future conservation strategies for this species on Christmas Island. Fragments of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I gene and the control region were sequenced from 95 individuals collected from all five locations on Christmas Island known to be inhabited byD. celeste. Analyses using analysis of molecular variance revealed no evidence of population sub-structuring, indicating that despite any geographical isolation, there is a single population ofD. celesteon Christmas Island. This lack of population differentiation is probably explained by the oceanic dispersal of larvae, rather than terrestrial migration ofD. celeste. Therefore, based on these results, for conservation purposes,D. celesteon Christmas Island can be considered a single management unit.

Abstract:
In 1974 the Australian Government decided that from 1975 all education on its Territory of Christmas Island, Indian Ocean, would be integrated into a single service. It further decided that all schools would be staffed by Australian teachers from its recent1y established Commonwealth Teaching Service and would implement a curriculum closely reflecting those on the Australian mainland. These were decisive shifts from the previous system of separating the 'Asian' education system from the 'European' (Australian) system. This thesis sets out to find the reasons for these decisions and the expectations, or objectives, of those who made them. The changes to education had many Impacts on the Christmas Island community - both intended or unintended. These impacts are used to assist in evaluations of the policy objectives. The thesis uses the methodology of public policy analysis to examine the links between the government's education policy and its other broader policies regarding the Island. It thus examines operational decisions in the context of strategic considerations. The mid 1970s saw rapid changes in many Australian Government policies. Its new Christmas Island policies were responses to a range of complex, interrelated problems which emerged in the early 1970s - only 15 years after it assumed sovereignty. At the centre of these policy responses was Resettlement. The government's education decisions are examined in the light of the objectives and implications of its Resettlement policy as well as other inputs to the policy problem.

Abstract:
[Truncated abstract] This research investigates social capital within the everyday space and actions of sociability on Christmas Island. The theory of social capital as proposed by Robert Putnam (1995) provides the framework for this investigation which was conducted in two phases. Quantitative and qualitative approaches and a mixed methods concurrent nested strategy were used in both phases of the investigation and the analyses. The analyses also incorporated multiple perspectives of both social capital and physical activity processes. In the first phase, I sought to: (a) uncover the determinants of social capital within the Christmas Island community; (b) develop a social capital typology; and (c) establish the relationship between the determinants of social capital and adults’ physical activity involvement. In all, 212 participants took part in the study . . . Overall, several factors affected women’s social capital and physical activity. These included: (a) women’s societal roles and positions; (b) household and cultural norms relating to gender-based time and space negotiations; (c) ideologies surrounding ethic of care; and (d) role commitment. These factors also influenced women’s recruitment into becoming active in their community. Network embeddedness and autonomy, assimilation and acculturation as well as language and knowledge competency further distinguished the community and physical activity status of European and Asian women. Analysis related to the two physical activity programmes in part 3 showed how various forms of latent social capital within the community can be synergized to produce physical activity benefits and empower inactive and minority-group women. Findings in this study also support trust as an important element in the establishment of relatedness in a physical activity setting.

Abstract:
The rapid change in climate currently being recorded in the Western Canadian Arctic is projected to have a major influence on the permafrost ground that underlies more than half of Canada's landmass. The isolation of this vast landscape has inhibited scientific research consequently limiting the body of knowledge on sub-surface permafrost features. Specifically, there is limited information about massive ground ice units, large tabular bodies of ice with a gravimetric moisture content greater than 250% (percent dry weight). Massive ground ice bodies originate from the burial of surface ice, such as glaciers or snowbanks or from the in-situ freezing of groundwater, termed intrasedimental ice. The environmental history held within the ice provides valuable information on the progression of past climates and the high water content frozen within this ice can cause widespread changes on the topography, infrastructure and ultimately the people of this region who use the land. Located in the headwalls of retrogressive thaw slumps on Herschel Island, Yukon, natural exposures of massive ground ice provided an ideal setting for studying ice units with uncertain origins. Within this study, seventeen distinct massive ice units, observed in four different exposures, were sampled for laboratory analysis. The aim of this research is to resolve the origin of these less understood massive ice bodies with a recently developed tool that analyzes the molar ratios of atmospheric gases occluded within the ice units. This is supported with the recognized method of cryostratigraphy, O-H stable isotopes analysis and geochemical measurements. The results of these tests, presented in two manuscripts, reveal a complicated cryotic history that identifies massive ice units with atmospheric and intrasedimental characteristics. An isolated unit of white ice observed in the upper portion of a retrogressive thaw slump exhibits a strong atmospheric signature with low atmospheric gas ratios of N2/Ar and δD vs. δ18O regression line that closely parallels the local meteoric water line (LMWL). An atmospheric origin for this unit of ice is further supported by low conductivity values measured within the ice unit. These chemical investigations combined with an equally conclusive cryostratigraphic examination suggest that this massive ice unit is a recently buried snowbank. A proposed model of snowbank burial is also presented to clarify and support this conclusion. A distinctive unit of blue coloured ice exposed at an ocean bluff contained occluded gasses with molar ratios of N2/Ar and O2/Ar gas that were strongly correlated to the same gas ratios measured in the current atmosphere. A vertical transect within a large retrogressive thaw slump on the south shore of the island distinguished seven separate massive ice units in addition to an ice wedge. Two of the units measured revealed intrasedimental ice origins due to low N2/Ar atmospheric gas ratios and high conductivity values. A third isolated unit of white ice, confined by unconformities, reflected a molar gas ratio of N2/Ar that strongly correlated with the N2/Ar ratio of the current atmosphere measured during the study. An atmospheric source for this ice was further supported by a δD vs. δ18O regression line similar to that of the LMWL. These findings provide a new layer of interpretation adding to the previously established body of knowledge and produce a more decisive explanation to the origin of massive ice units on Herschel Island. This work is relevant for understanding the origin and nature of the massive ice units, the geomorphic response to past climates and providing important information for the responsible development and management of this landscape in the future both on Herschel Island Territorial Park and throughout the Western Canadian Arctic.
Le changement rapide du climat actuellement observé dans l'Arctique de l'Ouest Canadien devrait avoir une influence majeure sur le pergélisol représentant plus de la moitié de la masse continentale du Canada. L'isolement de ces vastes étendues a limité les efforts de recherche scientifique à leur sujet et par conséquent le niveau de connaissances des caractéristiques du pergélisol. Plus particulièrement, peu d'information existe au sujet des unités massives de glace de sol, c'est-à-dire de grands corps tabulaire de glace avec une teneur en humidité gravimétrique supérieure à 250% (pour cent en poids sec), que l'on retrouve dans ces régions. Ces glaces de sol peuvent provenir de l'enterrement d'étendue de glace en surface, tels que des glaciers, des bancs de neige, ou encore de la congélation in situ d'eaux souterraines, autrement nommées glaces intrasedimental. La glace de sol peut fournir de précieuse information sur l'historique et l'évolution des climats passés. La haute teneur en eau congelé dans la glace peut causer d'importants changements dans la topographie, pour les infrastructures et ultimement pour les habitants de cette région qui font usage du sol.Situé dans le mur de tête de glissements de dégel rétrogressif de l'île Herschel au Yukon, des affleurements de glace souterraine fournissent un cadre idéal pour étudier des unités de glace ayant des origines incertaines. Pour la présente étude, dix-sept unités de glace massive distinctes, observée dans quatre expositions différentes, ont été échantillonnés pour l'analyse en laboratoire. Le but de cette recherche est de comprendre l'origine de ces unités de glace massive moins bien connues en faisant usage d'un outil récemment développé permettant d'analyser les rapports molaires entre differents gaz atmosphériques occlus à l'intérieur des unités de glace. Cette approche repose sur la méthode reconnue de cryostratigraphy, sur l'analyse d'isotopes stables O-H ainsi que sur des mesures géochimiques. Les résultats de ces tests, présentés en deux manuscrits, révèlent une histoire cryotique complexe identifiant des unités de glace massive avec des caractéristiques atmosphériques et intrasedimental.Une unité isolée de glace blanche ayant été observée dans la partie supérieure d'un glissements de dégel rétrogressif présente une signature atmosphérique forte avec de faibles ratios de gaz atmosphériques N2/Ar ainsi qu'une droite de régression δD vs. δ18O qui se rapproche étroitement de la ligne d'eau locales météorique. L'hypothèse d'une origine atmosphérique pour cette unité de la glace est soutenu par de faibles valeurs de conductivité mesurées à meme l'unité de la glace. Ces études chimiques combinées à un examen cryostratigraphique tout aussi concluant suggèrent que cette unité massive de glace est en fait un banc de neige récemment enterré. Un modèle d'enterrement de banc de neige est également présenté à clarifier pour appuyer cette conclusion.Une unité distincte de glace de couleur bleue exposée par un bluff océanique contient des gaz occlus avec des ratios molaires de N2/Ar et de O2/Ar fortement corrélées aux mêmes ratios mesurées dans l'atmosphère actuel. Deux des unités mesurées révélé une origines de glace intrasedimental en raison du faible taux de N2/Ar gaz atmosphériques et d'une conductivité élevée. Une troisième unité de glace blanche isolée et confinée reflète un ratio molaire des gaz N2/Ar fortement corrélée avec le ratio N2/Ar de l'atmosphère actuel. Une origine atmosphérique pour cette unité de glace est aussi soutenue par une ligne de régression δD vs. δ18O similaire à celle de l'LMWL.Ces résultats fournissent une nouvelle couche d'interprétation qui s'ajoute aux connaissances précédemment établies et fournissent une explication plus robuste quant à l'origine des unités de glace massive sur l'île Herschel.

The atoll nation of Tuvalu lies only a few meters above the seas of the equatorial Pacific, and is at high risk for inundation and storm surges due to climate change. However, in spite of the media narrative of "sinking" Tuvalu, when understood in broader contexts of time and space, the existence of atolls is highly temporal and dynamic, based on sediment hydrodynamics and coral reef production. The designation of Tuvalu as a 'nation' is also a narrow temporal framing, of colonial origin. The inhabitants of Tuvalu's atolls were historically highly mobile peoples, moving from island to island in response to resource or social concerns. Tuvaluans today continue to be mobile peoples, migrating between atolls and globally, but this movement is now limited by global territorial sanctions. Climate change creates the risk of uncertain territory and uncertain identity for Tuvaluans; the submergence of the islands below mean sea level threatens rights to their territorial waters (EEZ) as well as their nationhood status as they lose the space to practice their cultural identity. The modern nation-state views its contents (population and geography) as relatively static. The inherently fluid nature of these components in Tuvalu, further amplified by climate change, problematizes the hard lines of territory and state drawn sharply in the contemporary era. When both ground and people are acknowledged as fluid entities, how might we re-imagine the spatial and social form of the Tuvaluan nation? How can Tuvalu continue to exert territorial claims when both the subject and object of nationhood are in flux? And how can Tuvalu's spatially oriented cultural identity be maintained as its population becomes increasingly mobile? Instead of ceding territory to the rising waters of climate change, this thesis posits 'seeding' territory as an alternative. The project explores the propagation of the architectural 'seed' as a way to 'grow' territory in the context of migratory populations and unstable geographies. The seeds consider territory both in the sense of transnational legislation (per the UN Law of the Seas) but also in the cultural sense of Tuvaluans, as a collective space of shared resources and identity. The seeds generate physical territory and facilitate social networks and identities. The design of these seeds is then conceptually tested in future social and environmental scenarios both for both the in- and ex- situ nation.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis investigates the geomorphology of retrogressive thaw slumps and active layer slides on Herschel Island, northern Yukon Territory. In particular, it examines the formation and morphology of both landforms, and the ground ice characteristics of retrogressive thaw slumps. During 1988-1989 a number of retrogressive thaw slumps and active layer slides were surveyed and monitored. Field and laboratory investigations involved (1) documentation of landform distribution, setting and morphology, (2) examination of processes of landform formation, and (3) the examination of cryostratigraphy, ground ice characteristics and material properties.
Retrogressive thaw slumps developed in areas of low to moderate slopes underlain by a variety of sediments with ice contents up to 4500% (on a dry weight basis). Slump headwall retreat rates of up to 19.5 m/yr were recorded. By comparison, active layer slides developed on steeper slopes underlain mainly by marine silts and clays. The sediments exposed in the slide floors and headwalls displayed no visible ground ice, but moisture contents were between 15-35%. Retrogressive thaw slumps and active layer slides form by entirely different processes. However, they do occur in close association and are influenced by many of the same parameters.

Full text
Abstract:
Climate change and warming have been linked to enhanced coastal erosion in the arctic. Specifically, permafrost is believed to be thawing at greater rates, and wave dynamics are expected to increase in intensity. As a result, thermokarst activity, which includes the occurrence of retrogressive thaw slumps, will be more frequent along arctic coasts.
The availability of airborne and spaceborne imagery in the arctic over the last fifty years has made possible the temporal analysis of permafrost and ground ice-related erosion. The objectives of this thesis are (1) the creation of a large scale database for horizontal coastal retreat on Herschel Island for the 1952-2000 timespan, (2) the investigation of retrogressive thaw slump activity over the same period and its relation to coastal erosion, and (3) the elaboration of stereophotogrammetric techniques to investigate retrogressive thaw slump activity volumetrically. Herschel Island, located on the northern coast of the Yukon Territory, was chosen as the study site for this research, because of the widespread presence of retrogressive thaw slumps and the lack of data for coastal erosion during the last fifty years.
Photogrammetric tools were used to create orthorectified and stereo-images of the Island for the years 1952, 1970, 2000 and 2004 from airphoto archives and Ikonos (1 m resolution) imagery. Coastal erosion was found to be stable or declining on Herschel Island except in the vicinity of retrogressive thaw slumps. In addition, retrogressive thaw slumps were identified on the imagery and observed to have increased in frequency for the 1952-2000 period.
Stereophotogrammetric analysis of two retrogressive thaw slumps showed that eroded sediment volumes from these landforms are considerable and should be included in future assessments of sediment release from arctic coasts to the oceanic shelves.

Abstract:
This study identifies Late Quaternary glacial ice-flow direction in east-central Ellesmere Island, N.W.T., by the study of its composition and its relation to bedrock sources. The spatial distribution of five till types suggests a hypothesis which attempts to reconcile the Innuitian Ice Sheet model of Blake with the Franklin Ice Complex model of England. Glaciers draining from ice sheets in northern Ellesmere Island and Greenland filled Kane Basin and flowed southward toward Smith Sound. When this southward-flowing ice reached the bottleneck at Smith Sound (40 km wide), it overrode the adjacent landmasses of Pim Island and Cape Herschel and forced Buchanan Bay ice southward through the channel that is now occupied by Rice Strait. Southward-flowing ice continued to drain towards Baffin Bay, overriding the coastal areas of Nares Strait at Wade Point and Cape Isabella. The results presented here partially support the Innuitian ice sheet hypothesis, but do not negate the Franklin Ice Complex model. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Abstract:
Tunisian fortifications disputed between Spaniards and Turks in the mid-sixteenth century, documented by coeval iconography. An analysis from the territory to the architectureThe five volumes of the precious archival collection of drawings called Architettura Militare (Military Architecture), kept at the Archivio di Stato di Torino (Turin State Archive), propose documents made mostly by military engineers from the half of the sixteenth to the following first decade. The tomes collect mostly drawings of places under the aegis of the Duchy of Savoy, apart from the second one, dedicated to documents of Spanish military interest (Mediterranean Sea and Lombardy maps). As I pointed out at Fortmed Convention 2018, the reason why these documents are kept at the Turin State Archives is because of their belonging to Catherine of Aragon, daughter of the Spanish king and wife of Carlo Emanuele I di Savoia. In the volume Architettura Militare II (Military Architecture II) 26 tables, all datable from 1522 (Rhodes) to 1596 (Cadiz), concern territories, walled cities and fortifications, of islands and Mediterranean coasts, disputed by Christians and Turks for the supremacy on the sea. In the previous study I had examined drawings about Egypt, eastern Ottoman territories and Holy Land coasts, Spanish possessions as Perpignan and Cadiz bay. In this new study instead, I would like to examine in depth the iconography about Tunisia. Those drawings, so different from each other for scale and graphic quality, document those phases in which the Spanish control is characterized by alternate situations: the Iberian presidio dates back to 1535, reconquered by Ottomans in 1570, it is taken back in three years by Christians who keep it until 1574 only, when the whole Tunisian territory, precious bastion for the control of routes and trades, definitely returns in the hands of the Turks.

Abstract:
A Study of Chinese Traditional Wetland Island Settlement Combining Morphological and Narrative Analyses Dongxue Lei¹, Andong Lu² School of Architecture and Urban Planning, Nanjing UniversityHankou Road 22#, Gulou District, Nanjing, ChinaE-mail: dxlei@outlook.com, andonglu@gmail.com Keywords (3-5): wetland island settlement, morphology, townscape, cognitive map Conference topics and scale: Tools of analysis in urban morphology The Lixiahe region, a low-lying wetland located to the eastern side of the Huaiyang section of the Grand Canal, is characterized by a complex hydrological environment and has changed slowly in the urbanization process. The historical town of Shagou, a representative case of island settlements in this region, has a recorded history of continuous morphological change over six hundred years. Regarding Shagou as a cultural-geographical entity, this article aims at combining morphological analysis and narrative-based cognitive mapping to revel the characteristic townscape that strongly depends on cultural-geographic complexity. Based on survey work, this article will first define distinguishable plan elements that underpins the spatial form of Shagou: 1) natural context; 2) streets system; 3) plots system, and then investigate diachronically different phases of the formation of its spatial structure. On the other hand, based on archiving and data analysis of the oral history study, this article will generate a narrative cognitive map, in terms of paths, nodes, landmarks and areas. In conjunction with fieldwork and documentary record, this study testifies that the method derived from the plan analysis developed by Conzon is applicable to the study of wetland island settlement form in China and that narrative spatial analysis provides important supplemental spatial information. A careful combination of these methods might be used for understanding culturally embedded settlement forms in China. References (100 words) Conzen, M. R. G.

Abstract:
American Samoa is an unincorporated territory of the U.S. roughly 2,300 air miles southwest of Honolulu and about 2,700 miles north of Australia. The largest and most populated island in American Samoa is Tutuila, which is located the territory’s historic capitol of Pago Pago. The territory is home to the world’s largest tuna cannery. Population growth has been dramatic and the island’s energy costs have increased substantially in recent years. The American Samoa Power Authority (ASPA) is responsible for solid waste collection and disposal in the territory with landfilling being the primary mode of waste disposal. However, limited available land on the main island due to volcanic topography limits the long-term use of landfilling as the island’s sole waste management tool. The relative isolated location of American Samoa and the instability of world oil markets have prompted ASPA to look at more environmentally and economically sustainable means of solid waste management. As an outgrowth of its research, ASPA submitted and received a technical assistance grant from the U.s. Department of the Interior to conduct an extensive waste composition study and EfW feasibility study to examine the advantages and disadvantages of efW for American Samoa. The results of these studies have been completed by SCS on behalf of ASPA, which is currently taking steps to permit and procure a 2.0 megawatt, modular efW facility that will go online in 2012 as part of a public private partnership. The lessons learned by SCs and ASPA during the course of the investigations are illustrative of the types of long-term, waste management and energy decision-making that many small communities will have to undertake to attain viable and sustainable alternatives.

Abstract:
The Croatian islands make the second-largest archipelago in the Mediterranean. There are 1244 islands (78 islands, 524 islets, and 642 rocks and rocks awash) that are situated in a range of 450 km along the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea. The total area covers 3300 km2 (about 5.8 % of Croatian mainland territory) and the length of their coast is 4057 km. Twenty of these islands occupy an area larger than 20 km2 each, and the other 58 ones have a surface from 1 km2 to 20 km2. There are 47 islands that are permanently inhabited. Administratively, islands belong to seven coastal counties and 51 island towns/municipalities. Several small islands are in the jurisdiction of seven coastal cities. By the Constitution, islands are considered as a region of special protection and unique value. Islands specificities require development policy that takes account of demographic, economic, environmental, and other island issues. In the situation of the COVID-19 pandemic, island development policy becomes even more challenging and complex. This paper aims to analyse the attitudes and perceptions of the islanders about the living conditions on the island and the impact of public policies on island development. Identifying the problems from the local perspective helps us to evaluate the success of island development policy. Effective island policy increases the quality of life of the islanders while respecting island specifics. For this purpose, the results of a survey conducted on a sample of the inhabitants of Croatian islands conducted in 2020 are used. The surveys were conducted using the online tool LimeSurvey. The results indicate that 42 percent of the islanders think that living conditions on the islands are not improving. Most of the islanders think that government policy does not encourage island development. The paper also identifies factors that are responsible for differences in attitudes and perceptions of islanders.

Abstract:
Обсуждается понятие полиструктурности ландшафтного пространства. Объект исследований – остров Матуа с активным вулканом, отсутствием поверхностного стока и широким развитием селевых и лавинных комплексов. Разработана ландшафтная карта, основанная на структурно-генетических принципах, внутри островного ландшафта выделены три географические местности. Предложена модель нуклеарной системы с ядром в виде кратера вулкана, по степени влияния вулкана на природные комплексы выделены три зоны. В составе парадинамических геосистем, связанных однонаправленными потоками вещества и энергии, выделены и проанализированы селевые и лавинные геосистемы. Количественно оценены вещественные потоки, генерируемые вулканом, лавинами и селями. Установлено, что в современный период именно вулкан является основным системообразующим фактором для большинства природных комплексов острова. Сделан вывод о том, что полиструктурность ландшафтного пространства отчетливо проявляется в пределах острова и связана с формированием на одной территории разных типов геосистем, выделение которых основано на разных физических принципах. The concept of polystructurality of landscape space is discussed. The object of research is the island of Matua with an active volcano, lack of surface run-off and widespread development of debris-flow and avalanche complexes. A landscape map of the island's territory is presented, based on structural and genetic principles; three geographic areas are identified within the island landscape. A model of a nuclear system with a core in the form of a volcano crater has been developed; three zones have been identified according to the degree of the volcano's influence on natural complexes. Debris-flow and avalanche geosystems have been identified and analyzed as part of paradynamic geosystems connected by unidirectional flows of matter and energy. It has been established that in the modern period it is the volcano that is the main system-forming factor for most of the natural complexes of the island. It is concluded that the polystructural nature of the landscape space is clearly manifested within the island and is associated with the formation of different types of geosystems on the same territory, the identification of which is based on different physical principles.

From City-like Settlement to Industrial City: A Case of Urban Transformation in Huwei Township. Chih-Hung Chen¹, Chih-Yu Chen¹ ¹ Department of Urban Planning, National Cheng Kung University No.1, University Rd., East Dist., Tainan City 70101, Taiwan ROC E-mail: chihhungchen@mail.ncku.edu.tw Keywords (3-5): Industrial City, City-like Settlement, Morphological Process, Town-Plan Analysis, Sugar Refinery Conference topics and scale: City transformations City-like Settlement (German: Teilweise Stadtähnliche Siedlungen) (Schwarz, 1989; Sorre, 1952) plays an important role in the course of civilization, especially the development of industrial cities. Accordingly, this study utilizes Town-Plan Analysis (Conzen, 1960) to deconstruct the relationships between industrialization and settlement formation in order to illustrate the common origin of cities in Taiwan as a result of the emerging economy at the turn of the 20th century. The industrial city of Huwei, known as the “sugar city” with largest yields of cane sugar in Taiwan, had the largest-scale sugar refinery in pre-war East Asia (Williams, 1980). The city has grown and transformed with the factory during the four phases of morphological periods, which began at the establishment of the sugar refinery and worker housing in the middle of the fertile flooding plain in western Taiwan. The spatial arrangement was directed to operational and management efficiency, characterized by the simple grids and hierarchy of layout along the riverside. As the industry enlarged, the new urban core was planned to support the original settlement with shophouses accumulated in the small grids. Followed by postwar modernism (Schinz, 1989), the urban planning again extended the city boundary with larger and polygonal blocks. In the fourth phase, however, the sugar refinery downsized, leading to the conversion of the worker housing and the merging of the factory and the city that slowly brought to its present shape. The morphological process results in the concentric structure from the sugar refinery, providing valuable references for the preservation of the sugar industry townscape, and unveils the influence of industrialization as well as the special urban development pattern in Taiwan.

Based upon our previous study, we do know that in China living habits and local climate mainly influence the shape of residential buildings and apartment patterns, but we do not know whether the pattern of residential plots determined by FAR and sunshine hours are suitable for wind environment related to residential environmental quality. Therefore, it is very significant to evaluate wind environment within residential plots based on the apartment pattern controlled by various building codes. Our study focuses on the pattern of Slab apartments in Nanjing, which are mainly used in China, and selects 40 residential slices with different plot shapes, plot FAR, building heights and sizes. Based upon MATLAB, we have got all geometrical data between buildings among these slices to identify the spatial pattern character of each residential plot. Through evaluating wind environment of these slices by simulation we can obtain wind speed, pressure and age of air and choose the pattern of age of air as the main evaluation factor of wind performance. Correlation analysis will be made between the apartment patterns and pattern of age of air, by doing so, each typical space between buildings will be evaluated. Our study will reveal the relevance of apartment pattern and wind environment, which can be used to support and improve design in the future. References（95 words） Oke. T.
