Discussion on the Mode of China’s Low-carbon Society and Construction Routes

In responding to global climate change,the idea of low-carbon economy emerges as the times require.Developing low-carbon economy is based on the construction of low-carbon society.The so called "two-orientation society"(resources conservation orientated society and environmental friendly orientated society) is the concrete representation of low-carbon society with Chinese characteristics,and an actual action for China in developing low-carbon economy.Based on urban agglomeration,the paper discusses the meaning of and the route to low-carbon society which would better reflect the intrinsic requirements of such a society.     

基于最佳管理实践的中新生态城面源污染控制措施优选研究

基于最佳管理实践（BMP）理念和方法，以中新生态城为例，采用多属性决策分析方法的ELECTRE-Ⅲ方法和模型，采用VisualBasic语言自行编制辅助计算机程序，对该地区8种雨水控制管理措施进行了优化比选。优选结果表明，对于中新生态城，8种雨水控制管理措施的优选排序为：湿地〉地下蓄水库〉人渗沟〉可渗透路面砖〉道路边沟〉绿色屋顶〉下凹绿地〉绿化缓冲带。     

PPP模式在城市生活垃圾处理中的应用探讨

由于政府在城市生活垃圾的处理上所采用传统的环卫管理体制,导致在垃圾处理中存在严重的资金不足、效率不高等问题.为此,提出一种基于公私合作思想的垃圾处理的新模式.首先,引出公私合作的PPP模式,并从技术、经济和管理方面对PPP模式应用于生活垃圾处理的可行性进行论证;然后,通过分析政府与企业在垃圾处理过程中的地位,构建城市生活垃圾处理的新模型;最后,对政府和公司在应用PPP模式方面提出了行之有效的建议.     

城市化与城市生态环境关系研究综述与评价

国外自19世纪末期开始开展城市化与城市生态环境关系的研究，经历了起源阶段、展开阶段和多元化阶段。主要从环境经济学、环境科学和卫生科学、可持续和生态学角度展开研究。国内的研究从20世纪70年代开始，进展较快。主要研究内容包括城市化引起的城市生态环境效应。城市社会、经济、环境的协调发展。可持续城市、生态城市和健康城市等。文章归纳和分析了东西方的界入视角和关注重点。并指出研究中仍存在不足。     

武汉市九峰城市森林保护区景观敏感度评价

为合理开展森林景观的规划与建设，应用RS和GIS技术，并结合小班调查，对武汉市九峰城市森林保护区的景观生态敏感度和景观视觉敏感度进行了研究。结果表明：在武汉市九峰城市森林保护区中，高生态敏感区面积占总面积的4.6％，主要包括荒山、废弃采石场和少量灌木林地，应尽快进行生态恢复。中生态敏感区面积占总面积的535％，主要为水域、农田、部分苗圃和建设用地，可重点开展森林植被恢复和景观建设。低生态敏感区面积占总面积的419％，主要是森林覆盖区域、部分苗圃和居民点，应重点加强保护。一级视觉敏感区主要分布在沿道路两侧坡度大于20°的近景带，应以保护和生态恢复措施为主。二级视觉敏感区主要是坡度较小的近景带和山体的中、远景带区域，可视性强，应重点开展景观改造。三级视觉敏感区主要是中、远景带中的平坦地带，包括农田、苗圃、居民点等半自然景观和人文景观，可在不影响整体风貌和视觉环境的前提下进行景观建设。四级视觉敏感区为不可见区域或低可见区域，坡度大，可及性差，不宜规划建设项目。     

Study on Management and Control of Nonpoint Source Pollution from Urban Surface Runoff

Urbanization is the dominant form of land-use change in terms of impacts on water quality, hydrology, physical properties of watersheds and their nonpoint source （NPS） pollution po-tential at present. Urbanization has changed the source, process and sink of urban NPS pollution, especially raised the pollution load of urban runoff NPS in receiving water. Urban runoff pollution is a hot spot of research on NPS. This paper analyzed type, source and harm of the NPS pollutants of urban runoff and its influence on the receiving water. Through estimating NPS pollution load of urban runoff and summarizing the law and characteristics of urban runoff NPS systemically, study on management and control of urban runoff NPS pollution was focused on the application of BMPs （best management practices）. It is a fresh methodology that management and control on NPS pollution from urban surface runoff was analyzed by methods of landscape ecology, environmental economics and environmental management. The paper provided a scientific reference for mitigating urban water environment pressure and an effective method for management and control of NPS pollution from urban surface runoff.     

基于改进模型的城镇建设用地预测分析——以张家界市永定区为例

随着社会经济的飞速发展，人口快速增长，对建设用地的需求也迅速增长，从而加剧了人地之间的矛盾。在上一轮土地利用规划中，所预测的建设占用耕地指标与实际建设占用耕地情况有较大出入，这从一个侧面反映了现行的城镇建设用地预测方法的不尽完善之处。所以，在新一轮土地利用总体规划修编中，对城镇建设用地做出更加科学的、符合实际的预测，是一个重要的基础性问题。以张家界市为例，提出并验证了一种适宜的建设用地预测方法一改进后的双因素预测模型。最后运用此预测方法对永定区2020年建设用地需求量进行科学预测，以满足经济社会发展的用地需求。     

浅谈城市环境问题及对策研究

城市作为人类居住生活的功能区,在很大程度上被削弱。居住条件的恶化,环境污染,人际关系冷漠等城市病正在蔓延。城市已不再是人、自然和社会健康发展的乐园。要改变现状,让城市功能朝着人居健康的目标发展是我们今天的历史责任。城市环境质量的好坏不仅关系到市民居住和生存的质量,同时也从一个侧面反映出一座城市的文明程度以及市民素质的高低。因此,抓住创建宜居城市这一有利时机,不断改善城市环境面貌,提高环境质量,这是建设适宜人居的现代化城市的重要内容和必然选择。     

A FRAMEWORK FOR PROCESS INDICATORS TO MONITOR FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT: PRACTICE TO AN URBAN WATER SYSTEM

Although very often used, the concept of sustainable development has not yet been perceived pragmatically. Due to its process nature, in this paper, we argue that sustainable development is a process in which the essential feedback loops, or Viability Loops as we name them, in the system in question are kept healthy and functional. This process deals with evolutionary changes with the end point not known in advance. According to this perception, measurement of sustainable development does not make sense. Rather, we should look for the process indicators to monitor systems for sustainable development. The purpose of the paper is to develop a methodology to deal with monitoring systems for sustainable development and its practice in an urban water system. Using a system dynamics approach, the paper adopts a systemic monitoring framework based on the idea of Viability Loops to define process indicators to monitor systems for sustainable development. To illustrate the application of the framework, its practice in the urban water system of Tehran, the capital of Iran, is provided as an example. The example of the urban water supply system of Tehran is given as a case study, albeit with some unavailable data. Here, four typical viability loops are discussed. The results of this application show that the flows of informative signals are lacking. Adopting the process indicators, we can see the gaps between the public perceptions of water abundance, the costs of water provision and energy utilizations, and what is going on in the reality are getting wider. That indicates that the viability loops are not functional enough to produce effective changes to offset the reinforcing mechanisms. The sustainable development of the system is impaired due to the persistence of those reinforcing mechanisms.
