Authors: Mai Hanh My , Vo Thanh Minh , Nguyen Xuan Thi Thanh , Tran-Chi Vinh-Long
Published: December 2021

An increasing number of people, especially university students, are presenting Peter Pan Syndrome in society. Peter Pan Syndrome is a concept used to characterize the person who refuses to comply with the characteristics of the adult when reaching adulthood. The people with Peter Pan Syndrome are immature in emotion, behavior, and cognition. The main objective is to investigate the perception of Peter Pan Syndrome and the level of Peter Pan Syndrome among university students. Convenience sampling was used to collect data from 400 undergraduate students (186 males and 214 females) from three universities in Vietnam. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. The results revealed that the manifestations of Peter Pan Syndrome in students in three dimensions of emotion, behavior, and cognition. This study contributes to the general discussion underway about the definition of Peter Pan Syndrome and the symptoms of Peter Pan Syndrome. Future research should carefully consider the potential effects of Peter Pan Syndrome among undergraduate students to assist families and educators in developing appropriate education and coping strategies.
A clinical study on shodhananga snehapana with special reference to Samyak Snigdha Lakshana
Authors: Patil Shweta , Sathavane Geeta
Published: December 2021

Snehana (internal oleation) is the  major preparatory procedure to be performed before Shodhana (Biopurification).The entire procedure of Shodhana depends upon the proper mobilization of humors (Dosha) from peripheral circulation (Shakha) to intestinal circulation (Koshtha),which is achieved with the help of Snehana and Svedana. Oleation leads and decides total outcome of The Bio purification therapy; Hence in this study standard guidelines are applied for performing internal oleation in an effective manner to avoid Ayoga (insufficient use) and Atiyoga (excessive use) of Snehana. For that we start and increased dose of lipids in an appropriate manner considering Agni (power of digestion) and Koshtha (nature of bowels) of patients. The study was carried out on total 30 healthy volunteers undergoing Vasantik Vamana. Shodhananga Snehapana with Shuddha Ghrita was administered according to Agni and Koshtha of patients. Samyak snigdha Lakshanas were assessed using special scoring pattern. Statistical analysis using paired‘t’ test were done. Onset of samyak snigdha lakshana occurs in sequence. Vatanuloman, Agnidipti, Gatra Mruduta, Klama, Snehodvega, Adhastat Sneha Darshana was seen in all patients; whereas, glani, Anga Laghava, Twak Snighdata were noted in less percentage of patients.

Threshold Cointegration Approach for Assessing the Impact of US Economic Policy Uncertainty on Monetary Policy Decision of African Countries
Authors: Osei Prince Mensah , Adam Anokye
Published: December 2021

This study uses threshold cointegration technique to ascertain the relationship between United States (US) economic policy uncertainty (EPU) and monetary policy rate (MPR) of each of the four African countries, namely Egypt, Ghana, Namibia and South Africa using monthly data from March 1998 to April 2020. The impact of US EPU on MPR of each country is assessed by examining the linear cointegration, asymmetric cointegration and causal relationships in the frequency domain between the US EPU and MPR of each African country. The findings provide evidence of long-run threshold cointegration and the adjustment mechanisms towards long-run equilibrium are asymmetric in the short run for the MPR models for Ghana, Namibia and South Africa in the M-TAR specification except for Egypt’s MPR model which does not provide evidence of asymmetric adjustment towards the equilibrium position. The bivariate analysis performed in the spectral frequency domain suggests unidirectional causality between US EPU and MPR of each country and that, the US EPU influences the MPR of each country in the long run. The findings provide important guidelines to monetary policy reviewers to take policy stance that would stimulate economic growth amid US policy uncertainties.

A Vila: alienação, nostalgia na sociedade capitalista contemporânea
Authors: Caetano Marta Helena Cúrio de , Pottmeier Sandra
Published: December 2021

O presente artigo, assentado na teoria marxista acerca o trabalho alienado para caracterizar a sociedade capitalista, propõe uma reflexão sobre a relação simbólica que é proposta pelo filme A Vila (The Village, 2004) entre a sociedade capitalista contemporânea, a sensação de alienação e a nostalgia em relação a formas precedentes e mais satisfatórias de organização social da existência humana. O filme de autoria e direção de M. Night Shyamalan foi lançado em julho de 2004, cuja filmografia se caracteriza por uma peripécia final que, geralmente, obriga a audiência a reinterpretar a narrativa como metáfora. Trata-se de uma narrativa de horror e mistério. Destacam-se as referências à cor vermelha que atrai as criaturas da floresta, a atmosfera sombria da floresta, a vigília e o medo em que vivem os habitantes da vila. Horror e mistério são as marcas publicitárias do filme. A Vila promove e elabora uma reflexão sobre as formas – práticas e discursos – de contestação da sociedade capitalista que em sua crítica recorrem à retórica da alienação.
The Gray Legion: Information Warfare Within Our Gates
Authors: Baptist Jeffrey , Gluck Julian
Published: December 2021

The information environment, once viewed as an unassailed common for human knowledge, has revealed itself to be a vector for malicious narratives in the ongoing battle for global hegemony. Since 2014, the United States has been under siege from information attacks on multiple fronts, from cyber infrastructure and goods to the cognitive outlooks of its citizenry. Disinformation as a social media tool represents a novel and grave danger to democracy; it serves as a means for sowing unrest and influencing policy changes while enabling conventional conflict or—in the best case for those who would exploit and manipulate narratives—avoiding it entirely. In this article, we identify the harbinger of a dire threat that circles outside, and now inside, the United States' walls by exploring the theoretical dynamics of foreign, state-sponsored disinformation in democracies throughout the West. We examine the mechanisms through which this approach operates and why it is Russia’s preferred course of action.
What is the Role of Cyber Operations in Information Warfare?
Authors: Iasiello Emilio
Published: December 2021

Much attention has been focused on the potential consequences of cyber attacks against critical infrastructure and the use of cyber weapons as an asymmetric equalizer. However, as a capability considered to be under the larger umbrella of an information operations (IO)/information warfare (IW) campaign, how significant a weapon is cyber for the strategist in an information environment? As observed in recent IO/IW campaigns targeting U.S. elections in 2016 and 2020, lack of any discernable disruptive cyber attacks may have provided an answer to this, as a cyber power purposefully elected not to implement attacks. Instead, cyber espionage was used, and even at that, played a minor complementary role in the larger effort. This calls into question the efficacy of cyber as an instrument of IO/IW, and the true nature of its role in more strategic soft-power operations. This paper argues that cyber is at best a supportive enabler of campaigns where information is the catalyst to achieve strategic results, reducing cyber attacks as tools best used for signaling, punishment, or implemented in first strike scenarios.

Islam adalah suatu agama yang mengajarkan kebenaran- kebenaran dan tata nilai yang universal dan kekal. Akidah secara umum adalah kepercayaan, keimanan, keyakinan, secara mendalam dan benar lalu merealisasikannya dalam perbuatan nya. Sedangkan aqidah dalam agama islam berarti percaya sepenuhnya kepada keesaan Allah, dimana Allah- lah pemegang kekuasaan tertinggi dan pengatur atas segala apa yang di jagad raya. Aqidah ibaratkan sebagai bangunan sehingga aqidah harus dirancang dan dibangun terlebih dahulu dibanding bagian- bagian lain aqidah pun harus dibangun dengan kuat dan kokoh agar tidak mudah goyah yang akan menyebabkan bangunan menjadi runtuh bangunan yang dimaksud disini adalah islam yang benar, menyeluruh dan sempurna aqidah merupakan misi yang ditugaskan Allah untuk semua Rasul- nya, dari pertama sampai dengan yang terakhir, aqidah tidak dapat berubah karena penggantian nama, tempat, atau karena perbedaan pendapat suatu golongan. Kekerasan agama selama berabad- abad merupakan kejahatan terburuk yang telah mengiringi peradaban manusia. Sesuatu yang paradoks karena agama mengajarkan niali- nilai luhur, tetapi agama juga bertanggung jawab terhadap terjadinya kerusakan di muka bumi ini. Akhir- akhir ini kekerasan agama mengalami peningkatan signifikan di indonesia. Indonesia juga memiliki semboyan yaitu bhineka tunggal ika, semboyan ini memiliki makna yang penting karena masyarakat yang hidup di indonesia berasal dari berbagai perbedaan, namun telah hidup dengan rukun dan damai jika masyarakat indonesia selalu mengingat dan berpegang teguh pada semboyan tersebut, maka tidak mudah muncul konflik dalam kehidupan sehari- hari. Pada realita nya negara indonesia negara indonesia nya belom sepenuhnya terbebas dari adanya kekerasan serta konflik hak tersebut banyak dijumpai di negara kita ini.

Análisis de los impactos generados por la minería de oro y platino a cielo abierto sobre los recursos hídricos a partir de la cuantificación del consumo de agua y la carga contaminante de los vertimientos
Authors: Vargas Lady
Published: December 2021

Se cuantificó el consumo de agua y se caracterizaron los vertimientos en 6 entables mineros con diferentes técnicas de extracción de oro a cielo abierto en 3 localidades del departamento del Chocó. Se seleccionaron 2 emprendimientos mineros en cada una, en los que mediante observaciones y entrevistas, se levantó información acerca del número y tipo de equipos de bombeo, el tiempo de operación diaria, el método de extracción del mineral y cantidades de mercurio empleadas por unidad de tiempo. En los vertimientos del proceso se midieron in situ la temperatura, pH, oxígeno disuelto y turbiedad. Además, se conservaron muestras para análisis en laboratorio de sólidos totales, sólidos suspendidos, mercurio, DBO, DQO, grasas y aceites. Los resultados permitieron calcular y proyectar el consumo de agua y la carga contaminante vertida diaria y anualmente por parámetro, información que se empleó para determinar los principales impactos causados por la actividad sobre el componente hídrico de la zona. Se encontró que el consumo de agua oscila entre 184.800 y 592.200 GPD dependiendo de la técnica de extracción empleada y que se vierten entre 10’315.052 y 186’062.400 kg/año de sólidos, afectando las condiciones fisicoquímicas del agua, que limitan la capacidad de dichas fuentes para soportar su vida acuática, y los procesos biológicos derivados de ella y la utilización del recurso en diferentes actividades socioeconómicas y culturales por parte de las comunidades. Lo anterior sugiere la urgencia de aplicación de estrategias de control durante el proceso, que disminuya la carga contaminante vertida y la mitigación de los impactos sobre el agua.

Published: December 2021

In this article, an effort has been made to describe the services of Umm ul Mo’mineen Hazrat Ayesha (R.A.). She (R.A.) was the wife of the Holy Prophet (Allah’s mercy and peace be upon him)  and the daughter of Hazrat Abī Bakr R.A. She spent her time in learning and acquiring knowledge of the two most important sources of Islam, the Qur'an and the Sunnah of His Prophet (Allah’s mercy and peace be upon Him). Hazrat Ayesha (R.A.) narrated 2210 ahadith, out of which 174 ahadith are commonly agreed upon by Bukhari and Muslims in Sahibain.
          Hazrat Ayesha (R.A) is a great scholar and interpreter of Islam, providing guidance to even the greatest of the Companions (R.A.) of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Allah’s mercy and peace be upon Him). She has not only described ahadith and reported her observations of events, but interpreted them for the derivation of judgments. Whenever necessary, she corrected the views of the greatest of the Companions of the Holy Prophet (Allah’s mercy and peace be upon Him). It is thus recognized, from the earliest times in Islam, that about two-thirds of Islamic Shari’ah is based on reports and interpretations that have come from Hazrat Ayesha (R.A). Hazrat Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (R.A) says: "Never had we (the companions) been in any trouble for the solution of which we asked Hazrat Ayesha(R.A) and did not find some useful information from her".
            As a teacher, she had a perfect and convincing manner of speech. She is a role model for women. She was an authority on many matters of Islamic Law, especially those concerning women. Her life shows to what extent a Muslim woman can rise.

Evidence in support of gene regulatory hypothesis: Gene expression profiling manifests homeopathy effect as more than placebo
Authors: Khuda-Bukhsh Anisur Rahman , Saha Santu Kumar , Roy Sourav
Published: December 2021

Background: Use of ultra-high diluted remedies in homeopathy and their claimed efficacy in curing diseases has been challenged time and again by non-believers despite many evidence-based positive results published in favor of their efficacy in curing/ameliorating disease symptoms. Aims: To test the ability of ultra-high diluted homeopathic remedies beyond Avogadroâ€™s limit, if any, in manifesting gene modulating effects in controlled in vitro experimental model. Methods: Since cancer cells manifest aberrant epigenetic gene expressions, we conducted global microarray gene expression profiling of HeLa cells (an established epigenetic model of HPV18 positive cell line) treated with two different potentized homeopathic remedies, namely, Condurango 30c and Hydrastis canadensis 30C (used in the treatment of cancer), as compared to that of placebo (succussed alcohol 30c). Results: Data revealed distinctly different expression patterns of over 100 genes as a consequence of treatment with both homeopathc remedies compared to placebo. Conclusion: Results indicate that action of the potentized drugs was â€œmore than placeboâ€ and these ultra-highly diluted drugs acted primarily through modulation of gene expression.
Long-range transport of anthropogenic air pollutants into the marine air: insight into fine particle transport and chloride depletion on sea salts

Published: December 2021

Abstract. Long-range transport of anthropogenic air pollutants from East Asia can affect the downwind marine air quality during spring and winter. Long-range
transport of continental air pollutants and their interaction with sea salt
aerosol (SSA) significantly modify the radiative forcing of marine aerosols and influence ocean biogeochemical cycling. Previous studies poorly
characterize variations of aerosol particles along with air mass transport
from the continental edge to the remote ocean. Here, the research ship R/V
Dongfanghong 2 traveled from the eastern China seas (ECS) to the northwestern Pacific Ocean (NWPO) to understand what and how air pollutants were transported from the highly polluted continental air to clean marine
air in spring. A transmission electron microscope (TEM) was used to find the
long-range transported anthropogenic particles and the possible Cl-depletion
phenomenon of SSA in marine air. Anthropogenic aerosols (e.g., sulfur
(S)-rich, S-soot, S-metal/fly ash, organic matter (OM)-S, and OM coating particles) were identified and dramatically declined from 87 % to 8 % by number from the ECS to remote NWPO. For the SSA aging, 87 % of SSA
particles in the ECS were identified as fully aged, while the proportion of
fully aged SSA particles in the NWPO decreased to 29 %. Our results
highlight that anthropogenic acidic gases in the troposphere (e.g.,
SO2, NOx, and volatile organic compounds) could be transported to
remote marine air and exert a significant impact on aging of SSA particles
in the NWPO. The study shows that anthropogenic particles and gases from
East Asia significantly perturb different aerosol chemistry from coastal to
remote marine air. More attention should be given to the modification of SSA
particles in remote marine areas due to the influence of anthropogenic
gaseous pollutants.

Abstract. European flood frequency and intensity change on a multidecadal scale. Floods were more frequent in the 19th (Central Europe) and early 20th century (Western Europe) than during the mid-20th century and again more frequent since the 1970s. The causes of this variability are not well understood and the relation to climate change is unclear. Palaeoclimate studies from the northern Alps suggest that past flood-rich periods coincided with cold periods. In contrast, some studies suggest that more floods might occur in a future, warming world. Here we reconcile the apparent contradiction by addressing and quantifying the contribution of atmospheric processes to multidecadal flood variability. For this, we use long series of annual peak streamflow, daily weather data, reanalyses, and reconstructions. We show that both changes in atmospheric circulation and moisture content affected multidecadal changes of annual peak streamflow in Central and Western Europe over the past two centuries. We find that during the 19th and early 20th century, atmospheric circulation changes led to high peak values of moisture flux convergence. The circulation was more conducive to strong and long-lasting precipitation events than in the mid-20th century. These changes are also partly reflected in the seasonal mean circulation and reproduced in atmospheric model simulations, pointing to a possible role of oceanic variability. For the period after 1980, increasing moisture content in a warming atmosphere led to extremely high moisture flux convergence. Thus, the main atmospheric driver of flood variability changed from atmospheric circulation variability to water vapour increase.
Extraction of roughness parameters from remotely-sensed products for hydrology applications
Authors: Emery Charlotte Marie , Larnier Kevin , Liquet Maxime , Hemptinne João , Vincent Arthur , Peña Luque Santiago
Published: December 2021

Abstract. Along rivers, where local insitu gauges are unavailable, estimation of river discharge are undirectly derived from the Manning formula that relate discharge to geomorphological characteristics of the rivers and flow conditions. Most components of the Manning formula can currently be derived from spaceborne products except for two features: the unobserved always-wet bathymetry and the roughness coefficient. Global-scale applications use simplified equivalent riverbed shapes and empirical parameters while local-scale applications rely on finer model dynamics, field survey and expert knowledge. Within the framework of the incoming Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission, scheduled for a launch in 2022, and more particularly, the development of the SWOT-based discharge product, fine-resolution but global discharge estimates should be produced. Currently implemented SWOT-based discharge algorithms require prior information on bathymetry and roughness and their performances highly depend on the quality of such priors. Here we introduce an automatic and spaceborne-data-based-only methodology to derive physically-based roughness coefficients to use in one-dimensional hydrological models. The evaluation of those friction coefficients showed that they allow model performances comparable to calibrated models. Finally, we illutrate two cases of application where our roughness coefficients are used as-is to initiate the experiment: a data assimilation experiment designed to correct the roughness parameters and an application around the HiVDI SWOT-based discharge algorithm. In both cases, the roughness coefficients showed promising perspectives by reproducing, for the data assimilation application, and sometimes improving, in the SWOT discharge algorithm case, the calibrated-parameter-based performances.

Abstract. Landslides are geological phenomena that are spread on Bulgarian territory mainly along the northern Black Sea coast and on the right banks of the Danube in the western part of the country. Mitigation of the negative effects of these destructive geological phenomena is the compilation of inventory maps of their distribution and registers with the main characteristics of the individual landslides. Conventional methods for making such maps are time-consuming and resource-intensive. Modern satellite, air and ground-based remote sensing technologies facilitate the production of landslide maps, reducing the time and resources required to compile and systematically update them. In this paper, we demonstrate the applicability of Differential Sentinel-1A satellite SAR interferometry (DInSAR) to assess the movement activity and use the information for further updating the national landslide inventories in Bulgaria. We perform several analyses based on multi-temporal InSAR techniques of Sentinel-1A data over selected areas prone to landslides. The use of new opportunities for free access to satellite images, which can be applied in conjunction with other methods, greatly facilitates the processes of inventory, mapping and study of landslides.
The sustainable tourism organization of rural spaces. The island of Sardinia in the era of "staycation"

Published: December 2021

Abstract. What future for tourism in the COVID-19 era? This is a question that has become part of the daily life of many tourist destinations. The pandemic has affected all economic sectors and tourism is one of the sectors most suffered. According to data from the World Tourism Organization (2021) due to the health emergency 100% of countries have introduced restrictions in the travel sector and for this reason international tourist arrivals dropping by 74% in 2020. Future projections indicate 2023 as the year when a the "regular" flow of tourists can be recorded globally. However, in the meantime, there is a need to improve this sector by implementing strategies to promote and enhance the places to motivate sustainable tourism. The insecurity of travel and of some destinations, due to the many emergency restrictions, pushes tourists to live an outdoor vacation in contact with nature and host community. Thus, the search for authentic places moves minds more consciously towards sustainable tourism practices showing a greater interest in some forms of tourism such as rural and cultural.The aim of this work is to understand how to deal with the "new" needs of the demand, bringing out the rural realities through the creation of an organized sustainable offer that revolves around existing accommodation facilities such as farmhouses. In particular, the case of Sardinia will be analyzed, an island that has long been known for its seaside tourism, but whose rural and internal areas are still not much used touristically. The study intends, after a short review of the literature on the sustainability of rural tourism, highlight the possibility to create rural tourist itineraries capable of enhancing the territory's peculiarities by combining the different landscape assets. The exemplification of the creation of these routes will be realized in GIS field through the creation of a model of accessibility to the Sardinian rural space. This model will be based on the use of isochronous curves obtained from the analysis of travel times both to move towards and from the agritourism that offer accommodation and within their landscape offer.

Abstract. The digital cartographic coverage at 1:25,000 that the Military Geographic Institute is creating has been worked on using international standards, so that it constitutes a standardized and interoperable tool, for the various areas of activity in Chile. In this context, the ISO TC 211 standards and the TDS (Topographic Data Store) data model developed by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) are being used.Apart from using these standards, efforts have been aimed, from an early stage, at the determination of the quality of this product, starting this process with the study for a methodology to measure Positional Accuracy. The method defined conforms to the NSSDA test; for this, points measured in the terrain especially for this control are used, also the elimination of points that are out of range under the Chauvenet Criteria. Finally, the positional accuracy is declared in the metadata.
Hungarian place names from a Moroccan perspective
Authors: Alasli Malak
Published: December 2021

Abstract. Hungarian, or "Magyar", is a Finno-Ugric language that is different from the other European languages. Despite existing within an Indo-European environment and experiencing some Latinization (Indo-Europeanization), it has retained its distinct characteristics. Nevertheless, it also has some linguistic features, such as a phonetic structure that carries no specific sounds that cannot be easily uttered by a French, Italian, German, or English speaker, rendering it relatively easier for speakers of some Indo-European languages. On the other hand, Morocco has a multilingual environment, with Standard Arabic and Berber (Amazigh) as official languages, along with French and dialectal Arabic. Thus, the coexistence of these languages allowed for a bilingual representation of place names; an Arabic endonym and a French exonym. Both variants hold an official status and are used in maps and road signs. Therefore, the goal of this study is to record Moroccans' pronunciation of Hungarian place names. It is worth investigating whether such Arabic speakers with French knowledge will have difficulty reading the Hungarian toponyms and what is the reasoning behind such difficulty.
Updating of digital topographic maps in the new national spatial coordinate system: case Fergana valley in Uzbekistan
Authors: Fazilova Dilbarkhon , Magdiev Hasan
Published: December 2021

Abstract. The classical geodetic coordinate system (CS42) in Uzbekistan uses the Krasovsky ellipsoid. The implementation of new information technologies, such as the Global Navigation Satellite System, became the basis for the development of a new national open geocentric coordinate system. This paper describes the development of a distortion grid for transforming horizontal spatial data from the local geodetic datum CS42 to a geocentric datum WGS84 for 1:100000 scale maps of the Fergana Valley in Uzbekistan. A first version of the distortion grid file has been created for transforming between CS42 and WGS84 for the whole territory of the country. The significant influence of the longitudinal drift of the region has been confirmed. The grid was used to transform topographic maps at a scale of 1:100000 for the Fergana Valley. Changing the map datum has shifted the grid of coordinate systems by 70 m in the East and 7 m in the North.
COVID-19 geoviz for spatio-temporal structures detection

Published: December 2021

Abstract. The spread of COVID-19 has motivated a wide interest in visualization tools to represent the pandemic’s spatio-temporal evolution. This tools usually rely on dashboard environments which depict COVID-19 data as temporal series related to different indicators (number of cases, deaths) calculated for several spatial entities at different scales (countries or regions). In these tools, diagrams (line charts or histograms) display the temporal component of data, and 2D cartographic representations display the spatial distribution of data at one moment in time. In this paper, we aim at proposing novel visualization designs in order to help medical experts to detect spatio-temporal structures such as clusters of cases and spatial axes of propagation of the epidemic, through a visual analysis of detailed COVID-19 event data. In this context, we investigate and revisit two visualizations, one based on the Growth Ring Map technique and the other based on the space-time cube applied on a spatial hexagonal grid. We assess the potential of these visualizations for the visual analysis of COVID-19 event data, through two proofs of concept using synthetic cases data and web-based prototypes. The Grow Ring Map visualization appears to facilitate the identification of clusters and propagation axes in the cases distribution, while the space-time cube appears to be suited for the identification of local temporal trends.
Large Scaled Topographic Mapping and Issues in Depicting VGI and Open Data
Authors: Hajek Benedikt , Kriz Karel
Published: December 2021

Abstract. Open data and geospatial data collected by volunteers are nowadays easy to obtain and available with worldwide coverage through projects like OpenStreetMap. However, the use of these datasets leads to new challenges in depiction especially in the field of large scale topographic cartography. In addition to quality research, new processing and depiction methods for integrating these data are emerging. In the course of this work, specific problems of maps based on OpenStreetMap and Open Data elevation models are pointed out and possible solutions are introduced. In addition, a method for the preprocessing of contour lines is presented and the process flow is described in more detail. The goal of this work is to give insight into a toolbox of specially adapted and (semi-)automated methods. In this way, the quality standard of the depiction of topographic maps based on Open Data is to be increased, but also limitations are being shown.
A survey on the evolution of the Chinese cadastral system
Authors: Jiao Chenjing , Hurni Lorenz
Published: December 2021

Abstract. Cadastral system plays a pivotal role in land administration, which has attracted notable attention from researchers and policy-makers worldwide. Despite China being the most populous country throughout the world, its cadastral system is rarely studied. This paper conducts a comprehensive survey on the evolution of the Chinese cadastral system by elaborating the historical and contemporary Chinese cadastre. Specifically, contemporary Chinese cadastre is articulated from the aspects including content and purpose, legal basis, organization, and technical approaches, and compared with Swiss and Hong Kong cadastre. It is concluded that the Chinese cadastre evolved in a different way from that of the western countries due to China’s unique historical and economic background. This study sheds light on systematically understanding the development of the Chinese cadastre and further refining contemporary Chinese cadastral system.
