Subjectivity Construction of Chinese Rural Women’s political Participation: Perspective of Rural Governance Modernization
No full textIn China’s urban-rural dual development pattern and the process of industrialization and urbanization, a large number of young and middle-aged men in rural areas have moved to cities and towns to work. Both permanent population and agricultural labor force in rural areas have presented the characteristics of feminization, and rural women have become the main force of rural development. However, rural women are still in a subordinate position in rural political participation, and it is difficult for them to play their subjective role. In 2019, China issued an official document to promote the modernization of rural governance which reflects China’s feature of coordinated rural governance by multiple subjects. Therefore, this paper assumes that the rural multi-subject governance system proposed by China provides a good opportunity to construct the subjectivity of Chinese rural women’s political participation. By the methods of gender analysis, comparative analysis and literature analysis, this paper explores methods to construct the subjectivity of rural women’s political participation under the background of the modernization of rural governance from the construction of rural women’s subjectivity by themselves and the participation of all parties of the state and society in order to improve the level of Chinese rural women’s political participation, narrow the gap between rural gender political participation, promote the process of gender equality in political participation, promote the political democratization of China’s rural areas, and achieve their own comprehensive development

Spatial and Temporal Variation of Soil Conservation on The Southern Slopes of Qilian Mountains, China
No full textSoil is essential to human survival, and soil health directly impacts human production and life; therefore, monitoring soil erosion has been the primary concern for scientists worldwide. Using the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE), we analyzed soil conservation, actual soil erosion, and potential soil erosion on the south slope of the Qilian Mountains in China from 2000 to 2015. We drew the following conclusions: (1) The spatial distribution characteristics of soil conservation (Ac) and potential soil erosion (Ap) in the study area remained highly consistent, with a decreasing trend in the northwest and an increasing trend in the southeast. (2) The soil conservation capacity of the study area is increasing while the LSCA area is decreasing significantly. (3) The influence of R and Ap on Ac is powerful, whereas the influence of Ar on Ac is moderate. (4) The change in soil conservation decreases as DEM increases but increases as NDVI increases
