Risk analysis and management mechanism innovation on Northwest China urban minority floating population - A statistic sample from City of Xi'an

Abstract

As an unique phenomenon in China's rapid industrialization and urbanization, agglomeration of minority floating population into the central cities not only brings positive developments but also associates with risks and vulnerabilities. Management innovation is a core aspect of societal risk mitigation. Regarding that Xi'an City takes the representative of typical significance of the China Northwest Minority floating population, the paper presents constant dilemmas of three long-standing management contradictions in the aspects of current urban minority floating population, and attributes them to city risk source derived from the flowing disturbances and deep obstacles for the urban development, security as well as stability of ethnic relations. Details have been provided on the case representation scheme and management mechanism. The proposed operational methods increase the applicability to many real-world settings, where the liquidity risk mitigation depends on more qualitative management innovations. © 2014 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg..
