As China's economic structure is being adjusted, resources based cities transformation has become a significant part of China's economic sustainable development, in which transformation policy plays a key role in transformation speed, direction and size. This paper uses policy tool classification, coding and frequency statistics to quantitatively analyze 47 pieces of transformation policies regarding resources\|based cities in China by means of PMC model. All levels of policy tools are of structural imbalance with governmental preference for environmental policy tools. Policy tools use is inconsistent, with policy supervision and evaluation missing. PMC index of 47 pieces of policies are qualified, but some get low scores in a few evaluation variables. Balancing policy tool structures and multiple-dimensional evaluation of policies may promote the transformation of resources based cities.
This paper classifies mines with mining rights into constructing mine, producing mine and residual mine. Mining right assessment on constructing mines is focused on recoverable reserve and investment validation, and that on producing mines is on remaining recoverable reserve and depreciation validation on gallery and ground construction, and that on residual mines is on reserve balance, remaining recoverable reserve, new resource estimation, and depreciation on gallery and ground construction. The residual mines deserve investment, including those ore remained which are difficult in mining and processing, of potential in finding new resources located in favorable mineralization zones. The overseas investment bears risks in exchange ratio, reserve, security and costs, which need serious evaluation before investing.
This paper, based on a brief introduction to the geography, geology and water resources in inland basins in Northwest China, gives a summary of issues in developing the groundwater resources, and analyzes the impact to the ecological environment. The unconscionable development and lowly-efficient utilization is one of the four key causes. This paper presents a strategy to develop the water resources in inland basins and to protect the ecological environment: to set up an scientific idea to develop the water resources and to protect the ecological environment; to optimize the drainage works investment policies so as to boost a rational development of water resources; to develop the groundwater in the middle-stream by making full use of underground reservoirs and to limit the development in the down-stream area; and to reinforce the land consolidation so as to decrease the water quantity of agricultural irritation.
