中国小城镇人居环境建设

综合国内外学者的人居环境理论，结合中国国情提出了人居环境6层塔理论模型。模型从第6层到底层分别是：人类活动，建筑环境。居住社区环境，建成环境，社会环境和自然环境。从塔的顶层到底层。空间越来越广阔，但变化速度越来越慢。人居环境科学就是研究这6个层次环境以及其涧的关系。总结认为：中国小城镇建设与发展模式有工业促进模式，农业依托模式，商贸引领模式，交通兴镇模式，旅游带动模式，城市辐射模式和专业型模式。中国小城镇人居环境发展的基本条件包括：工业发展，聚集规模，土地产权，规划整合，基础设施和集群发展。最后，提出了小城镇人居环境建设的5条原则，即资源节约和经济原则，环境友好和生态原则，地方传统和文脉原则，城乡统筹和协调原则，以及利益相关者参与原则。     

城市开发区大气环境影响评价研究--以扬州市经济技术开发区为例

对开发区进行环境影响评价是开发区可持续发展的需要。大气作为环境的重要要素，其状况优劣对开发区的发展及布局都产生较大的影响，因而大气环境影响评价是环境影响评价体系中不可缺少的组成部分。如何进行开发区的大气环境影响评价，国内已取得了不少经验，但仍在探索之中。对城市开发区大气环境影响评价的内容和方法进行了探讨；以扬州市经济技术开发区为例，进行了分析、预测和评价，对环境评价中的公众参与环节进行了有益的探索与尝试；对开发区进行了大气功能区划分，给出了开发区大气主要污染物总量控制方案；最后，针对扬州市经济技术开发区的实情，在产业发展方向、项目规划布局、能源使用、绿化、环境管理以及土地管理等方面提出了环境保护的对策和建议。

Consultative mechanisms in Sweden's environment protection policy

The institutional and legislative framework of Swedish environmental protection is presented with special reference to the role of consultation in the policy process. The functions and duties of the National Environment Protection Board, the Franchise Board for Environment Protection, the Environment Advisory Board, and the Product Control Board are outlined. The main thrust of the 1969 Environment Protection Act, the 1972 Hazardous Products Control Act, and the environmental impact assessment requirements of the Planning and Building Legislation is presented. The character of consultation within this framework is also discussed, with reference to the role of public participation and of organized regulated interests. It is found that the main functions of consultation in policy-making are “feeding back on former policy,” “foreseeing future policies,” and “canvassing for consensus.” In the stage of policy clarification, consultation is found to be a means of “catering for compliance” and “creating coherence.” In policy implementation, consultation is an important means of gathering information from parties possibly affected by implementative decisions.
