This book reports on the results of a survey of 38 major Chinese
cities’ public service performances and provides an overview of
the development of basic public services in the larger cities. The
quality of urban public services is examined from 9 different
perspectives: basic healthcare and public health, housing, public
transportation, public security, employment and social security,
compulsory education, urban environment, culture and sports, and
government services. Moreover, a series of indices are applied to
further study the degree of public satisfaction with basic public
services in these cities. These indices include the index of GDP
leveraging satisfaction with basic public services, the rising
index of satisfaction with basic public services in cities, and the
development index of satisfaction with the basic public service
elements. On the basis of the survey results, this book also
identifies the most important social issues among the surveyed
public, including food and drinking water safety, information
security, housing prices, pensions, and air and environment
quality.
This book provides extensive information on craftsmen-built houses
in China. Though some inroads have been made in studying this folk
custom, this work represents the first comprehensive and systematic
monograph. The book examines the topic at the two main levels of
"history" and "theory". Combining historical textual research,
contemporary textual research, and field study, the book presents
systematic information on the folk custom of craftsmen-built houses
in China. At the level of theoretical research, it puts forward
some original opinions on the major theoretical issues, such as the
folk custom of religious belief, the boundary between superstition
and religion, and the relationship between oral literature and
ritual. The book provides a guide to help readers systematically
understand the folk custom of craftsmen-built houses in China.
Sharing valuable insights into Chinese architectural history, as
well as religious studies, cultural anthropology, and folklore, it
will appeal to researchers in the fields of folklore, cultural
anthropology, and architecture and can also serve as a popular
science book for understanding Chinese architectural culture.
