Abstract The public spaces in traditional villages carry historical memories and daily interactions, serving as crucial carriers for maintaining cultural continuity. However, with the acceleration of urbanization and the transformation of lifestyles, their spatial patterns and cultural functions are facing challenges such as degradation, inactivity, and even destruction. Adhering to the principle of "equal emphasis on conservation, inheritance, and activation for utilization," this study is based on a multi - dimensional integration perspective of historical context, landscape pattern, and social structure, aiming to construct a conservation and renewal design method for the public spaces of traditional villages that adapts to contemporary development. Firstly, methods such as literature research, field investigation, and oral history are used to systematically analyze their historical evolution, cultural connotations, and social functions. Subsequently, multi - dimensional value assessment and community participation are integrated to construct a strategic framework that takes into account both authenticity and contemporary adaptability.

Abstract Under the influence of globalization, the use of synthetic drugs among teenagers has become a key issue to be addressed in schools, making school social work imperative (Wang, 2006). Students’ drug use is not only closely related to social culture and economic background, but also significantly influenced by youth subculture. School social workers should develop the awareness to interpret drug use behavior from a cultural perspective, so as to effectively reorganize and reconstruct relevant youth subcultures, create a vibrant cultural environment, and implement drug abuse prevention education as well as crisis intervention for adolescents.

Abstract The Loess Plateau is one of the most severely eroded regions in the world. Over the past decades, China’s ecological restoration programs, such as the Grain for Green Project, have significantly reduced soil erosion but also created new challenges including the reduction of arable land and livelihood difficulties for farmers. This paper adopts an interdisciplinary governance perspective—Integrating ecology, agricultural economics, law, sociology, and ethics—To analyze the limitations of current policies and explore pathways toward sustainable soil and water management. The findings indicate that single-disciplinary policies often overlook the socio-economic complexity of environmental governance, whereas interdisciplinary approaches can better coordinate ecological restoration, economic incentives, legal safeguards, and social justice. Policy recommendations include promoting eco-agricultural coexistence models, establishing long-term market-based incentive mechanisms, clarifying land tenure rights with legal guarantees, and building urban–rural ecological compensation systems to ensure a win–win outcome between environmental sustainability and rural livelihoods.

Abstract This article focuses on the English cultural elements present in international TV dramas and explores their impact on cross-cultural audience acceptance. By analyzing the presentation of English cultural elements across different types of international TV dramas and integrating cross-cultural communication theory, the study examines how these elements influence cross-cultural audiences at cognitive, emotional, and behavioral levels, thereby affecting their acceptance of the dramas. The research finds that English cultural elements can enhance acceptance through cultural familiarity but may also reduce it due to cultural differences causing comprehension barriers. Implementing reasonable strategies for utilizing cultural elements is crucial for improving the dissemination effectiveness of international TV dramas in cross-cultural markets.

Abstract This study identified a lead-tolerant microorganism XH3 from soil near lead-zinc mine tailings in Bijie City, Guizhou Province. The strain demonstrated exceptional lead tolerance, achieving a maximum concentration of 5000 mg/L. Adsorption experiments revealed that XH3 reached a peak adsorption capacity of 219 mg/g for Pb²⁺at 350 mg/L, with the adsorption process conforming to the Langmuir isotherm model, indicating single-layer chemical adsorption. These findings suggest the strain holds significant potential for leadcontaminated environment remediation.

Abstract Urban parks are facing increasing pressures from population growth, climate change, and diverse public demands, necessitating innovative renewal approaches that integrate public participation and advanced technology.This paper proposes a Digital Twin-enabled Urban Park Renovation Public Collaboration Framework with a Comprehensive Performance Evaluation System. The framework comprises four main aspects: data gathering, data layer, digital twin layer, public participation layer, and collaborative decision-making layer. With the real - time data of the IoT sensors, satellite picture and crowdsourced information, the framework will create the interactive virtual environment so that citizens can see and assess the situation of park renewal scenario. Implementation results show significant improvements in public participation (a 340% increase), decision-making time (shortened 45%) and satisfaction with results (4.2/5.0) In this study, it links technology to a meaningful form of public intervention, for the good of smart cities.

Abstract Leisure activities have become an integral part of people's quality of life in the modern era. Their quality and level determine the standard of living and happiness of urban residents. What are the primary factors influencing residents' leisure satisfaction? How should they be prioritized? These questions all worth studying. Taking Zhejiang Province as a case study, this paper constructs a structural equation model to examine leisure satisfaction among its urban residents. Findings reveal: First, Zhejiang urban residents report highest relaxation satisfaction, followed by aesthetic and educational satisfaction, moderate physical satisfaction and social satisfaction, and lowest psychological satisfaction. Second, relaxation, aesthetic, educational, and physical satisfaction significantly influence overall leisure satisfaction, while social and psychological satisfaction do not significantly impact it.Third, leisure satisfaction among urban residents in Zhejiang is influenced by four factors: leisure resource endowment, urban leisure traditions, residents' perceptions of leisure, and urban leisure development. These findings contribute to the theoretical framework of urban leisure studies, enrich case research on urban residents' leisure satisfaction, and provide insights for enhancing leisure satisfaction in Zhejiang's cities.

Abstract This paper takes Lizu Village in Yiwu City, Zhejiang Province as an example, and uses Dynamic Theme Model (DTM) to explore the thematic structure and evolution trend of its rural image from 2018 to 2025 based on online text data from platforms such as Xiaohongshu, WeChat official accounts, and Ctrip. The study shows that the image of Lizu Village can be summarized into four themes: rural development , leisure experience , cultural cultivation , and brand building, exhibiting an overall evolution from infrastructure to brand building . The introduction of a rural operation team in 2020 became a key node in the image transformation, significantly increasing the intensity of brand and leisure themes, while the focus on cultural themes was relatively weak, reflecting the squeezing of traditional cultural space by modern consumer culture during the operation process . This study provides empirical evidence for understanding the dynamic mechanism of image construction in rural operation and also provides strategic references for rural branding and sustainable development.

Abstract The integrated development of urban and rural areas constitutes a vital strategy for advancing modernisation, with land resource allocation serving as a key element therein. Currently, China faces pronounced imbalances in urbanrural land resource allocation, primarily manifested in excessively high proportions of industrial land in cities, underutilised residential plots in rural areas, and insufficient land for public facilities. These issues stem from long-standing factors, including the prioritization of heavy industry development and regional economic imbalances. Addressing these challenges requires adherence to principles of fairness, efficiency, sustainability, and people-centred development. Building upon this foundation, concrete measures should be implemented, including improving land transfer markets, optimising urban-rural land planning, and safeguarding public rights. These efforts will foster industrial integration between urban and rural areas, enhance infrastructure connectivity, and promote equitable access to public services. Ultimately, this will drive shared prosperity across urban and rural regions, optimising the allocation of land resources.
