Connotation

Abstract: The concept of Sustainable Land Use(SLU)was firstly proposed at the first interna-tional symposium on sustainable land use that was held by Indian Council of Agricuiltural Re-search ( ICAR ),United States Department of Agriculture ( USDA ) and United States Rodale In-stitute at New Delhi on1990.From then on ,extensive research works has been performed in-ternationally by many scholars and research societies ,covering all aspects that related to sus-tainable land use.This paper aims at reviewing literature on sustainable land use research ,ex-pounding research progress ,and lastly advising future research directions.Firstly ,concept and connotation on SUL was identified ,which can be expressed as land use structure and land use approach that can fulfill improving human demand ,reserve and improve human living stan-dard ,to be harmonious and effective on land use structure ,ecologically suitable ,economically viable and socially acceptable.Secondly ,research scope and objectives on SLU were also illus-trated.The fundamental objectives on SUL study is to investigate land use dynamics ,to forecast future changing directions ,as well as to analyze driving factors to these changes and lastly to select suitable decisions on sustainable land use strategy at different scales.So ,research focus-es on investigating land changing process ,and formulating regionally or globally integrated models.On international research progress ,three aspects on SUL study are summarized and dis-cussed ,which includes systematic analysis ,assessment and integrated research models on SUL.Following conclusions can be drawn through literature review and research progress investiga-tion:①SUL study must be performed under extensively international cooperation and multi-discipline scholars.②On modeling approach to mechanism and progress analysis on SUL ,multi-space and hyper-time models should be fulfilled based on scientific and perfect theory base.③SUL modeling approach should be performed on mechanism analysis and process analysis.④On quantitative approach ,there are so many factors ,especially those related to so-cial ,economic and cultural issues ,being too difficult to be quantified ,which prevents penetrat-ing analysis on SUL study.⑤The difficulty on data acquiring as well as data quantify has al-ways been obstacles for SUL.⑥How to cover all aspects and factors that related to physical ,social and ecological perspective ,and how to express temporal process on these aspects and factors ,still needs to be further studied.After catalog and comment on Chinese research proceedings on SUL ,unfortunately ,it can be found that gap still exists on Chinese study status comparing to that international.Such dis-parity are major:① Theory investigation is major based upon traditional land use analysis ,but not on struc-ture ,function and evolving process investigation directly related to SUL.② On SUL assess-ment ,much effort is focused on land suitability extension ,and not giving prominence to SUS-TAINABILITY and TEMPORAL ,which are the core of SUL.③ Statistical methods are widely used on driving mechanism study to SUL ,while mechanism-based and process-based analyzing approach has not been performed.④ Abroad model for SUL study are implemented in Chinese study ,our own models that suitable to China has not be reported.Even though ,many peculiar work has also been done on special areas ,just like SUL study to Pearl River Delta ,Yangtze River Delta ,Three Gorge Area ,North-East Plain in China ,Loess Plateau ,Tibet Plateau and so on.These works also serve as study samples to international SUL research.On Chinese re-search direction in the future ,we basically think that focus should be attended on fundamental theory ,application theory and special study cases to SUL.

Abstract: Chinese characters are an important intangible cultural heritage in Huaxia civilization. It is a symbol system that originated from nature. Chinese characters are interpreted by humans in ways that coincide with their perception of nature. Connecting creation with nature and pursuing the unity of function and aesthetics, and exploring the configuration of Chinese characters is a problem worthy of study in modeling design, it is also an exquisite embodiment of “learning from nature”. In the teaching practice, we have found that fresh design students do not have a clear cognition of modeling design when teaching design, resulting in weak design creativity and connotation. The purpose of this study is to provide guidance to students through the foundation design curriculum concerning the cognitive process of the transformation of Chinese characters, as the object of this study, into product design. This study aimed to lay a solid foundation for students’ understanding of modeling design and the teaching methods to be verified through design practice. This study uses literature to explore and construct the teaching mode of Chinese character transformation product design. The feasibility of the teaching model has been practiced through the basic design course, and the effectiveness of the teaching effect has been verified by questionnaires and semi-structured interview. It has been found in this study that: 1) a basic design teaching system with localized characteristics can be established by taking Chinese characters as a study case; 2) through systematic teaching design, students have a clearer understanding of the logical thinking mode of product modeling design which can be integrated and applied into design; 3) through the delivery of themed courses, students have made great improvements in creative thinking and design connotation.

Abstract: Entrepreneurship education and innovative education have become an important direction of China’s higher education reform.On the basis of analysis of the connotation of entrepreneurship education and combining the international experience with the author’s teaching practice,this paper studies the innovation education of the traditional discipline—higher mathematics—in the context of innovation and entrepreneurship education.Then it conducts analysis concerning the three questions: why the innovative education of higher mathematics should highlight entrepreneurship education imminently,why the innovation education of higher mathematics can combine itself with entrepreneurship education,and how to combine the innovation education of higher mathematics with entrepreneurship education.Finally,this paper proposes a new model of innovation education for higher mathematics in the context of innovation and entrepreneurship education—the research-based pedagogy of higher mathematics,which can provide a new idea about the teaching reform of higher mathematics under the new trend of the international educational development.
