区域经济社会生态发展能力动态评估模型

信息不对称已成为区域生态建设规划中明确规划方向的障碍。在深入研究考核指标体系、关键因素和规划方向三者之间关系的基础上,提出一个由“数据标准化”、灰色系统理论的GM（1,1）和评估框架构成的模型,以期在一定程度上减少信息不对称性的影响。

Comments on: 'Financing water supply and sanitation under Agenda 21' by John Briscoe and Harvey A Garn, February 1995 and on the comments by Gourisankar Ghosh and Ashok Nigam, May 1995

The argument in John Briscoe and Harvey Garn's paper, 'Financing water supply and sanitation under Agenda 21', is that the price tags approach adopted in Agenda 21 towards water supply and sanitation, as towards everything else, is mistaken. In general, they would seem to be right; exhortations of the Agenda 21 type have historically proved to be of little, if any, value .     

You Are What You Eat: Genetically Modified Foods, Integrity, and Society

Thus far, the moral debateconcerning genetically modified foods (GMF) hasfocused on extrinsic consequentialist questionsabout the health effects, environmental impacts,and economic benefits of such foods. Thisextrinsic approach to the morality of GMF isdependent on unsubstantiated empirical claimsand fails to account for the intrinsic moralvalue of food and food choice and theirconnection to the agent's concept of the goodlife. I develop a set of objections to GMFgrounded in the concept of integrity andmaintain that food and food choice can beintimately connected to the agent's personalintegrity. I argue that due to the constitutionof GMF and the manner in which they areproduced, such foods are incompatible with thefundamental values and integrity of certainindividual moral agents or groups. I identifythree types of integrity that are threatened byGMF: religious, consumer, and integrity basedon certain other moral or metaphysical grounds.I maintain that these types of integrity aresufficiently important to provide justificationfor political and societal actions to protectthe interests of those affected. I conclude byproposing specific steps for handling GMFconsistent with the moral principles ofinformed consent, non-maleficence, and respectfor the integrity of all members of society.They include mandatory labeling of GMF, theimplementation of a system for control andregulations concerning such foods, andguaranteed provision of conventional foods.     

Environment,Quality of Life,and Urban Growth in the New Economy

Sooner or later, most environmental professionals will be affected by the national smart growth movement, which addresses suburban sprawl and urban revitalization. Environmental sustainability is at the heart of more sustainable economic growth—which means growth that does not sacrifice quality of life for economic prosperity. This article summarizes the findings of a recent report on the linkage between growth and quality of life in the new economy, with a special emphasis on the role of governors. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Combining Nature Conservation and Residential Development in the Netherlands,England and Spain

In this paper the function of protected nature in rural living environments is discussed in relation to residential choice, appreciation of the residential environment and rural development policy. In five case studies a comparison is made between the situation of protected natural areas in the Netherlands, England and Spain. The research results show that protected natural areas are an increasingly popular endogenous quality of rural regions as they have the ability to influence the residential choice and satisfaction of households. Therefore, they have not only become an important driving factor in the attraction of residential and other consumption-orientated activities towards rural areas but also need to be considered in policy formulation. After all, choices have to be made when different functions need to be combined in rural areas. Different activities may have both positive and negative effects on each other and regulatory measures are needed to tune their co-existence. For a sustainable and balanced development of rural areas it is therefore very important to create basic conditions that will make the combination of activities possible within the specific national and regional contexts.     

与自然和谐：环境保护的主旋律

人与自然关系的核心是人如何对待自然资源与环境。人与自然和谐发展,是人与人、人与经济社会协调的物质基础和前提,也是社会迈向生态文明的标志。科学发展观的要义是发展,核心是以人为本,要求是全面、协调、可持续。而人与自然和谐均与之有关。因此,实践科学发展观,促进人与自然和谐,无疑是环境保护永匣主题和基本目标。
