This doctoral dissertation research on the revolutionary memorials in China will extend China Studies scholarship on the political and cultural implications of economic development and reform since the late 1970s, and Cultural Geography scholarship on interpretations of memorial landscapes. It will examine the effects of economic development (including fiscal decentralization) on the cultural landscapes of commemoration - evolutionary memorials and shrines - as an indicator of broader ideological shifts associated with market reforms in China. It is structured on a provincial scale with three specific revolutionary memorial sites in Jiangxi: Jinggangshan, Nanchang, and Lushan. The field research will primarily involve secondary data collection of on-site archival research and primary data collection based on interviews with managerial staff, random visitors, and visitors with deeper personal involvement. Secondary data will serve as the baseline for comparison, indicating whether the sites are commercialized due to economic reform. Primary data analysis will be based on the reduced data (transcribed and coded file) for drawing inferences as to how people interpret the transformation, and how cultural landscapes of commemoration in China reveal the dynamic nature of Chinese cultural, social, and political values over time. By examining development in relation to the changing cultural landscape of commemoration in China in the case of Jiangxi, the fieldwork will help to investigate what transformation is occurring with the revolutionary memorials in China and what ideological shift is revealed in this transformation. The research will shed light on the impacts of economic development on political and cultural phenomena in China, revealing new insights into the rapidly changing economy and social structures of China. It will help interpret the relationship between ideology, development, and landscape in a country where such studies have been rare. It will address the gap between the geography of regional development and the cultural geography of China's regions, bridging the study of cultural landscapes of commemoration in the West and similar landscapes in China since studies on the cultural landscape of monuments tend to concentrate more on regions such as Europe and North America. The research will also introduce to the discipline of geography a rich cross-cultural resource for discerning contested ideologies as a result of economic development in the changing cultural landscape in China, providing the China Studies field with a cultural and political perspective in addressing the greater issue of how Chinese identity adjusts according to the effects of regional development in the reform era. As a Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement award, this award also will provide support to enable a promising student to establish a strong independent research career.

自1970年代后期以来，有关中国革命纪念馆的博士论文研究将扩大有关经济发展和改革的政治和文化含义的奖学金，以及关于纪念景观解释的文化地理学奖学金。它将研究经济发展（包括财政权力下放化）对纪念文化景观的影响 - 进化纪念和神社 - 是与中国市场改革相关的更广泛的意识形态转变的指标。它的结构是省级的，在江西的三个特定革命纪念地点：jinggangshan，nanchang和Lushan。现场研究将主要涉及基于管理人员，随机访问者和访客的次要数据收集和主要数据收集的主要数据收集。次要数据将作为比较的基准，表明这些地点是否由于经济改革而被商业化。主要数据分析将基于减少的数据（转录和编码文件），以提出有关人们如何解释转型的推论，以及中国纪念的文化景观如何揭示中国文化，社会和政治价值观随着时间的推移的动态性质。通过研究江西（Jiangxi）纪念中国纪念的文化景观的发展，现场工作将有助于调查中国革命性纪念馆发生了什么转变，以及这种转变中的意识形态转变。这项研究将揭示经济发展对中国政治和文化现象的影响，从而揭示了对中国经济快速变化的新见解。它将有助于解释在这种研究很少的国家中意识形态，发展和景观之间的关系。它将解决区域发展的地理与中国地区的文化地理之间的差距，弥合对西方纪念的文化景观的研究，以及中国的类似景观，因为关于古迹的文化景观的研究倾向于更多地集中在欧洲和欧洲等地区。这项研究还将介绍地理学科，这是一种丰富的跨文化资源，可以通过不断变化的中国文化景观中的经济发展来辨别有争议的意识形态，从而以文化和政治的观点为中国研究领域提供了更大的问题，即根据改革时代的地区发展的影响如何调整中国身份的影响。 作为博士学位论文研究改进奖，该奖项还将提供支持，使有前途的学生能够建立强大的独立研究职业。
