Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited / This thesis examines the history of insurgency in Tibet with an eye to the future. It offers background about the historical relations between Tibet and China in order to highlight why Tibet feels it is an independent country while China believes Tibet has always been an integral part of China. Next, the Tibetan insurgency against the Communist Chinese (1956- 1974) is examined to determine reasons for its failure. The thesis then moves on to address Chinese measures taken to preclude a future Tibetan insurgency to include an analysis of those Chinese measures that have been successful, and to consider where conditions conducive to insurgency currently exist in Tibet. Finally, the conditions necessary for a successful future insurgency in Tibet are delineated. / http://hdl.handle.net/10945/1030 / Major, United States Air Force

Since 1959, DaLai Lama established the Central Tibetan Administration at Dharamsala in India. The secessionism had been used to push the movement of Tibetan independence to separate away from China. Till now, it is very successful internationalized Tibetan questions in international society. But, the P.R.C. has rejected DaLai Lama returned to Tibet. For the Chinese, if Tibet accepted to be a part of China, there would be no problem since China would only be entering its own territory. Furthermore, DaLai Lama would to be change his subject whatever from Independence to Autonomy. It just willing to return Tibet. The PRC had always refused the reguest of DaLai Lama. This thesis discussed the argument had come from PRC and the Central Tibetan Administration. It tried to explained the Tibetan questions, and would be realized what is the movement of secessionism in Tibet.

The Yidun Terrane in the eastern Tibetan plateau is separated from the Songpan-Ganzi Terrane by the Ganzi-Litang suture zone to the east and Qiangtang Block by the Jinsha suture zone to the west. Both suture zones are marked by eastern Paleo-Tethyan ophiolites. The western part of the Yidun Terrane, the Zhongza Massif, is dominated by Paleozoic sedimentary sequences. In the eastern part, Triassic subduction-related plutonic rocks and volcanic-flysch successions of the Yidun Group are important elements for understanding the evolution of eastern Paleo-Tethys and amalgamation of East Asia. The Yidun Group includes the Lieyi, Qugasi, Tumugou and Lanashan Formations from base upwards. Two major depocenters for the Yidun Group can be recognized. Sedimentary detritus supplying for the northern depocenter were dominantly sourced from the Zhongza Massif and received recycling components in a passive margin setting. In the southern depocenter, the Qugasi Formation accumulated materials from the Zhongza Massif, whereas the Tumugou Formation received additional materials from locally distributed Triassic arc rocks and crystalline basement rocks, which indicates transition from a passive margin to a magmatic arc setting. In the southern Yidun Terrane, (quartz-) dioritic hypabyssal intrusions are spatially associated with andesites and dacites and have zircon U-Pb ages from ~230 to 215 Ma. They have adakitic geochemical features and are divided into the ~230-215 Ma high silica (HSA) and ~215 Ma low silica (LSA) adakitic rocks. The HSA formed from subducted slab melts with limited interaction with the overlying mantle wedge, whereas the LSA were generated from slab melts with more extensive interaction with mantle due to slab break-off at ~215 Ma. In the northern Yidun Terrane, granitic plutons and volcanic rocks occur in two parallel N-S belts. The ~228 Ma volcanic rocks in the Xiangcheng region are adakites generated from slab melts, whereas the ~231-230 Ma volcanic rocks in the Changtai region, including basalts, andesites, dacites and rhyolites, formed in a back-arc setting. The Changtai basalts were produced by low degrees of partial melting of an OIB-like mantle source with minor involvement of subducted slab components. The Changtai andesites/dacites represent evolved members from the basaltic magmas through an AFC process, whereas the rhyolites formed from anatexis of a garnet-bearing crustal source. These volcanic rocks are 4-6 mys older than arc granitic rocks in the northern Yidun Terrane. The spatio-temporal framework of all the subdution-related igneous rocks suggests initiation of subduction of the Ganzi-Litang oceanic lithophere under the southern Yidun Terrane at ~230 Ma, resulting in the adakitic magmatism in the Shangri-La and Xiangcheng regions and the back-arc magmatism in the Changtai region. Subsequently at ~224 Ma, the subduction extended to the northern Yidun Terrane, leading to the formation of the arc granitic plutons. From south to north, the Yidun Terrane was sequentially amalgamated with the Songpan-Ganzi Terrane during the Late Triassic. / published_or_final_version / Earth Sciences / Doctoral / Doctor of Philosophy

Transportation is an integral par t of the tourism industry. It is largely due to the improvement of transportation that tourism has expanded. The impacts on the ecology, degradation of destination sites, tourist experience, and economy has called for a better management of this resource. Transportation can be divided into two parts. One is the mobility infrastructure such as railway and highway, connecting and sometimes dividing the tourism destination. And another is site infrastructure which is in the tourism destination and guides the tourists to explore the place. Few places are as globally significant as the Tibetan Plateau, writes Daniel J Miller. Understanding this means looking at the region from a holistic, ecological standpoint. It has huge biodiversity resource and stores a lot of ice on the mountain. Religious affect this area so that it can remain in the harmony of the people and the nature. The Qinghai-Tibet railway is built for the policy or economic reason after is construction finished in 1st of July, 2006. This transportation greatly changed this area. The tourists’ trend increases 30% in Qinghai and 40% in Tibet in 2007. The income of the tourism also increased. Then the conflict occurred, on the ecological aspect: the wildlife, the One is the stepping destroy by the tourist which may cause soil erosion or vegetation destroy. And the social aspect, tourism reform the local people’s life, increases their income but also challenges the line of their religious faith. The stations along the railway became my focus point. They were like the start point, we can see the government intention, and the economic opportunity. In the meanwhile, it could also be the pollution resource and damage beginning. We can’t just simply stop people from going there. Since the railway is just like a window, advertising the beautiful landscape. If the station can’t access, people will find another way to access, in an uncontrolled way. So it is also an opportunity for expressing a new definition of tourism. Education, love, ecotourism. To make the place love for the people, so that they will have the ownership, they want this landscape keeps forever, so that it be an eternity. My thesis is trying to reach a more sustainable way to develop tourism in this very sensitive area, to create a couple of well-designed station stops which does strict (no access) protection for these areas. My intention is to create a system that combines education and the exploration in tourism. / published_or_final_version / Architecture / Master / Master of Landscape Architecture
