Variance of resources and environment determines the depth and extension of human activities, but previous studies disdained the variance of regional economic growing model to geographic environment. This paper, based on Harold-Thomas model, establishes a regional economic growth model including geography. A quantitative study on China via regression method shows spatial distance and terrain play a vital role in regional economic growth, with bigger effect of the former than the latter while the latter prevails in central-western China. This verifies the regional economic growth model including geography and the existence of terrain's effect on regional economic growth.
Land use division can reflect the regional variance in land use and is a key part in land use planning, and is a vital means in land use controls as well, which makes sense in making a right land use direction, determining land use structure, raising land intensive use and promoting regional coordination. This paper reviews the concept, connotation and scale of land use, and expands the three categories of land use division, based on a case study on Bengbu city, Anhui province, and applies land use synthetic division mode and land use functional division mode to study land use division and spatial controls during municipal land use planning.
The national unified conversion coefficient by hierarchy provides a scientific basis for requisition-compensation balance. This paper, based on variable conversion scales, concludes that the conversion coefficient shall be based on national hierarchy which uses the fifteen farmland hierarchies and their upper crop production limit, presents a regional plan of farmland requisition compensation balance, and determines their trans-regional applied steps.
This paper, based on a comprehensive survey and investigation of the regional geological tourism resources in Miaoqian, Changning city, demonstrates the feasibility of the application of Miaoqian national geopark and explores the measures to protect its geological tourism resources, and concludes that the establishment of national geopark will contribute to the planning and construction of provincial Miaoqian geopark, be helpful in education, research, and broadening Hengyang,s tourism market and increasing scientific level, and link Hengyang,s tourism northern to southern outlooks.
Zhongyuan area is a traditional call of Henan province, where is of low village land use, scattered layout and big percentage of low-middle productive farmlands. This paper, based on experiences of trial villages, discusses the major modes of village consolidation in Zhongyuan area, based on a case study on Lilin town, including suburb integration mode, compressing newly-constructing mode, integration of many villages mode, poor village reconstruction mode. Under farmer ’s wills and protection of local features, new rural construction shall be based on land consolidation focusing on farmland, water, road, woods and villages, which can not only optimize the rural resource allocation, but also give solution to the limited funds in village construction. It promotes a mutual urban and rural development, a win-win mode.
This paper, based on vast successful cases of mine parks, reviews the situation of Dajing national mine park from its connotation and core values, establishes the objectives of mine park construction, during which the “four issues regarding mining” must be handled. During planning, mine park construction shall be integrated into Dajing town urban construction as regional unified development. Mining heritages must be protected during mining activities, which achieves the objective of protection and development, ecological restoration and cultural inheritance, and a mine park.
Handling scientifically the urban living wastes can not only provide solutions for eco-environmental and social-economic issues derived from living wastes, but also offer technology and resources to the urban sustainable development, which is a vial means of recycling economy. This paper, based on the status in handling Wuhan’s living wastes, analyzes the collection, transportation and handling of living wastes, discusses the issues, combined with Japan’s advanced experiences, presents a method in classifying, diversified collecting, charging and handling, which can promote the industrial development related to Wuhan’s living wastes and boost scientific development and progress in handling Wuhan’s living wastes.
At the end of the eleventh five-year plan, a new round of expressway construction is surging in Henan province, which is conflicting with land saving. This paper, combined with the existing land policies, aims at the newlyincreased and expanding projects, applies operation technology, engineering management and ecological prevention, and presents innovative views and workable suggestions from land saving, ecological protection and comprehensive benefits.
This paper gives an introduction to the global platinum group metals resource, supply-demand status of Pt, Pd and Rh, and their consumption structure changes, and analyzes strategy and approaches to China＇s platinum group metals industry. The global financial crisis led to a big fall in Pt, Pd and Rh supply and demand, meaning a change in consumption structure. However, as the global economy recovers, this situation goes better. Approaches to China＇s platinum group metal supplydemand conflict lie in technological development and establishing management system, which can ensure a sustainable development of platinum group metals resource and industry.
This paper gives a summary of distribution and features of China＇s seal stone resources. Most seal stone deposits are situated in the upper Jurassic volcanics in southeast coastal provinces Zhejiang, Fujian and Jiangxi. The minerals are mainly dickite, kaolin and prophyllite, a product of post thermal alteration with wall rocks as Mesozoic neutral-acid continental volcanics. This paper presents suggestions in planning, enhancing seal stone resources management, increasing resources use efficiency and boosting development and use.
The western China to Qinghai-Tibet area covers Gansu, Qinghai, Xinjiang, Tibet and western Sichuan, where distributes lots of sedimentary basins hosting abundant oilshale resources. The oilshale resources reach to 195.263 billion tons in these areas, about 4.44% of the total in China, the oilshale potential is 193.039 billion tons, 28.82 of the total in China, indicating a big potential in these areas. The genesis of oilshale can be classified as sapropel , humosapropelic and humic, formed in lakes, marshes and lagoons, where the oilshale is quality, most more than 10% in oil-bearing rate. The oilshales are distributed in the upper Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic, becoming younger southwards in oilshale formation ages. This paper, based on a prioritization of exploration targets, selects 9 target areas as most favorable areas, 7 as favorable areas, and 4 as sub-favorable areas.
Mining already becomes an infrastructure industry of our national economy . Meanwhile, mine environment problems caused by mining exploitation is becoming increasingly severe. Based on comprehensive study of present mine environment problems and considering current situation of mine environment in Laizhou City and related protection & treatment experience at the same time, several effective strategies related to mine environment protection and recovery treatment are given aimed at different mine geological environment. The theme of this paper is to put forward some rational proposals for implementing sustainable development of mining economy and realizing green mining in the future.
The Bayan Nur Geopark holds the biggest and most important late Cretaceous dinosaur fossils in China or even in the East Asia, abundant in fossils, such as ceratopsia, ankylosauria, coelurosauria, furtherover chelonian, crocodilian, saurischian and mammalian, and egg fossils of vertebrates. This paper summarizes the major features of dinosaur fossils and egg fossils, expands the significance of discovery of the dinosaur and egg fossils in studying the biological involvement from extinction of dinosaur to emergence of mammalian during the late Cretaceous.
The currently-used 1999 Solid Mineral Resources and Reserves Classification Code has induced some issues due to its absence of geological confidence G. To revise this code means to clarify the two levels of G. In order to meet the UN's 1997 classification framework, G means the exploration stage. Block level shall still be remained in China's system. It is important that the Chinese Code be compared with global codes, and at the same time, be remained stable in its terms.
