This paper calculates Shandong's carbon emission, and based on Kaya identity, decomposes the drives to four, economic development, industrial structure, energy intensity and energy consumption structure, and uses LMDI to quantitatively analyze the carbon emission reduction in 2000—2009, with results showing that, with an exception of energy intensity exerting a negative driving, the other three play a positive driving of which economic development is the major. The key to carbon emission reduction is to raise energy efficiency and to decrease energy intensity.
This paper, based on Tongling's society, economy and environment, which is a resource-exhausted city, establishes through references and experts an index system to evaluate Tongling's environmental loading capacity, and uses AHP to determine each indexs weight and acquires the relative surplus model which is applied to evaluate Tonglings environmental loading capacity in 2008-2011. The result shows an overloading more than 23.7% per year, and an concerted condition between economy and resource&environment, which, however, is turning on a right direction. This paper presents suggestions developing a concerted economy-resource-environment in Tongling.
This paper uses Delphi and AHP to establish an index system and evaluation model to evaluate the overlapped and occupied farmland damage degree in Southwest Chinas mining areas, which includes three onetier, six twotier and nine threetier indexes. Onetier indexes are farmland soil, environment and auxiliary. Indexes with bigger weight are farmland overlapped ratio, surface pool and soil bulk density. The evaluation results from a case study is consistent with the truth of overlapped and occupied farmland damage degree, providing references in rehabilitation approach and technology in Southwest Chinas mining areas.
Jiangsu province is stepping into a post industrialization stage, which requires a circular economy for its future development and industrial upgrade. This paper, based on a case study on Suzhou with developed economy, better ecology and circular economy required, summarizes the base, advantages, issues, bottleneck, viewing from a model city in circular economy, and presents three innovative integration ways on saving resources and circular use, i.e., integration of economic and social circulation, integration of production and wastes utilization, integration of technology development and application. The development system of circular economy that satisfies the requirements of Suzhou economic and social development, should be established from society, industry, technology, region and mechanism, with the purpose of providing supports for constructing innovative cities, and realizing the upgrade and optimization of industrial structure.
As China,s economy goes fast, carrying out the discipline development of land and resources management, and speeding up the relevant personnel training, has become an important means for solution of resource bottlenecks in China,s national development process. Through the literature review, statistical analysis and other methods, this paper discusses the necessity and feasibility, the main issues and challenges of creating such disciplines, as well as their basic connotations and characteristics, and concludes that land, water, marine, and mineral resources should be targeted, and the natural resources, management, economics, operations research, and IT science should be used as a guide within the development of these disciplines. And it should form a discipline group, as the core set of national laws, economic and administrative system as a whole, which will promote the effective management, the optimization of spatial allocation and sustainable use of land and resources.
There are many taxation issues of oil-gas resources in China, including a repetitive taxation, a high administrative cost, conflicting taxation bases which exert a big burden to enterprises, a separated management system for enterprises difficult to coordinate, no accordance with the international customs which is unfavorable for foreign investment. This paper presents to adopt the compensation fee of mineral resources into resources taxation and readjust the resources taxation rate.
The eco-industries are a sustainable development for economy and invironment in brittle coal area in loess plateau. This paper, based on a case study on Pingsuo coal mining district, analyzes the optimization utilization plans of water resources, including planting, farming, establishing methane wells, and vivarium projects, and carries out a balance study on water supply and demand. The results display the water supply shall have a surplus over the demand under an ecoindustrial development in Pingsuo coal mining district, which can provide a specific guarantee for sustainable development.
This paper, based on RS and GIS, aiming at the eco-environmental issues in Baoding city, establishes an assessment system of eco-environment and RS & GIS model, makes a planning to protect the eco-environment, and presents some approaches in order to provide references for the general planning in Baoding city.
Henan Found Mining Ltd., a JV with foreign investors, uses the foreign capital and technology to explore and mine the Shagou Ag-Pb-Zn deposit in Luoning county, Henan province, with a whole process of exploration, mining and processing. The Shagou Ag-Pb-Zn deposit is a veinlet deposit, dipping gently. The company has made a good profit, becoming an model in cooperation with foreign investors. This paper gives an introduction to the development process and achievements of the Found Mining Ltd., and presents some experience to maximize the capital, to use the foreign management and technology and China's low-cost human resources. Both sides have complementarity in cooperation, like China partner has exploration license, and the foreign partner has financial capacity and advanced technology, ensuring a sustainable development of resources.
This paper, according to the 1:1000 topographical maps and land survey data, establishes an index system to zone the spatial resources, applies GIS to zone Xilinhaote city into urban construction area, rural stockbreeding development area, dominant industrial development area and ecological development zone based on a combination of urban system, industrial situation, ecological structures. This paper, by means of urban growth theory and land utilization, presents a control over the spatial expansion in urban areas, deals with the urban spatial development, and provides a theoretical and technical support for the new general urban planning in Xilinhaote city.
How to promote economic development in rural areas during the prevailing new countryside construction is a vital worthwhile point. This paper, based on the successful experience of rural development in Bavarian State, Germany, presents a principle and core for rural development: public participation in land management.
