Research on village classification and development based on particle swarm optimization model: Xiecun Township, Yuanping City, in Shanxi Province, China

China’s village development confronts substantial challenges, inefficient land use due to the scattered village layout, sluggish development of village industries, and lack of proper planning for village development and construction, etc. Scientific classification of villages and village-based policy is the key to address these challenges. This study employs cell phone signaling big data to construct a population flow model based on particle swarm optimization algorithm This model takes into account spatial driving force and social connection strength as dual conditions. Also, it analyzes the settlement redistribution optimization scheme under the model through empirical research on Xiecun Township of Yuanping City, Shanxi Province, in order to classify villages scientifically and apply different strategies to village development according to the classification results. The findings of the study indicate that the area characterized by the densest distribution of optimized particle clusters, with good land conditions and high economic income, are classified as “cluster-enhanced villages”. Regions with the densest distribution of the initial particle distance factor and the densest distribution of optimized particle clusters are closer to the urban centers, which are better positioned to take advantage of the city’s financial and technological resources and continuously improve the added value of agricultural products, so they are classified as “peri-urban integrated villages”. Areas characterized by sparse distribution of optimized particle clusters need to actively cultivate the advantageous and characteristic industries in the countryside, and bolster transportation conditions and the protection of local culture, so as to realize the green development of urban and rural regional economy. Such areas are classified as “characteristic conservation villages”. In areas without optimized particle cluster distribution or areas with extremely sparse distribution of optimized particle clusters, the rational layout of urban and rural settlement spatial organization should be vigorously promoted, with emphasis on the enhancement of ecological environment, and they are classified as “relocated and annexed villages”. According to the results of village classification, corresponding strategies to promote the development of different types of villages are proposed in terms of spatial optimization, industrial upgrading and planning.

Governance policies in sports federations. A comparison according to their size

Recent failures in the administration of sports federations have led individuals, institutions, and researchers in the field of sports to become increasingly concerned with questions of appropriate forms of governance. This paper provides a snapshot of the characteristics of the governance of Catalan sports federations by analysing key issues such as the composition of governing and executive bodies, the conservatism of presidents, participation and democratization in decision-making processes, and accountability orientation. The research was carried out based on content analysis and the operationalization of a questionnaire specific to the purpose of the research. The results point to some particularities, differences, and correlations between the size (and resources) of sports federations and their governance profile. Empirical evidence is presented on the lack of stakeholder participation in decision-making processes and mechanisms for management control and monitoring. Results identified a lack of accountability orientation and levels of transparency. Few organisations reported having created documents such as a governance code, or risk management manuals, and a low percentage of organisations were concerned about making them publicly available. The results support recent calls for good governance in sport by highlighting key areas for improvement. Authors believe that this contribution can serve as a framework for scholars to investigate other contexts.

The Role of Informatization in the Integrated Development of Cultural and Tourism Industry

This article explores the role of informatization in the integration and development of the cultural and tourism industry, and proposes corresponding analysis and strategies. Firstly, informatization improves the quality and efficiency of cultural and tourism products and services by enhancing the design and production process and personalizing and customizing the services. Secondly, informatization expands the boundaries of cultural and tourism products and markets by utilizing the internet and mobile applications to extend the spatial and temporal boundaries, and leveraging data analysis and intelligent technologies to broaden the scope and scale. Lastly, informatization enhances the management and operational level of the cultural and tourism industry, improving efficiency and decision-making through the use of advanced technologies such as big data and artificial intelligence.
