Industrialization, Environment and Health： the Impacts of Industrial SO2 Emission on Public Health in China

In this paper, we construct a model in which the impact of pollution on health is exerted through both direct and indirect channels. The indirect channel is captured by a production function in which the principal health-improving factor, income growth, can be realized only in the cost of pollution increase. This model is then tested by the aggregated chronicle disease data in over 78 Chinese counties. Our results show, after attaining the threshold of 8 μ g/m^2, continuous increase in industrial SO2 emission density will lead the ratio of population suffering chronicle diseases, among which respiratory diseases occupy a significant proportion, to rise. However, owing to technological progress in pollution control activities, the needed SO2 emission to produce one unit of GDP diminishes with time. Therefore, the negative effect from pollution augmentation on public health seems to be recompensed more and more by the positive effect of economic growth.     

Study on the Comprehensive Tourism Development Pattern in Periphery Minority Area： A Case Study of Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Gansu Province, China

The paper took the human-land relations as a basic point, and the theories of tourism industry system and sustainable development as the guidance, with Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture （Gannan） as the case study area. From microcosmic and macroscopic viewpoints, the author carded out function orientation and evaluation to the tourism industry development, and research on the comprehensive tourism industry development pattern of Gannan. Results show that the fragile ecological environment and the traditional economic growth pattern have restricted regional sustainable development, and made Gannan to become a representative of the periphery minority areas in Northwest China. Tourism development of Gannan is at the primary phase, with the characteristics of short industry chain and low economic efficiency. It is an inevitable choice to transform the way of regional economic growth and the development pattern of tourism industry from the traditional pattern to the pattern of sustainable development. Simultaneously, Gannan＇s natural, national and religious culture makes Gannan a broad prospect on the comprehensive tourism development. Gannan should choose the comprehensive tourism industry as its scientific pattern to realize sustainable development, promote harmonious social, economic and ecological development, alleviate the human-land contradictory, and realize dual goals in terms of ecology construction and economical development. For Gannan and the similar areas in China, studies on the sustainable development pattern of tourism have extremely important strategic sense with respect to tourism development and the sustainable development of regional economy.     

Value of Ecosystem Services in Conventional and Organic Rice Paddies： A Case Study in Wannian, Jiangxi, China

In the current study,the ecosystem services(ES)of conventional and organic rice paddies in Wannian,Jiangxi Province,China are investigated.First,the ES at the field level under organic and conventional paddies were investigated.Total economic value of ES in organic rice paddies was 30093.08yuan RMB/ha per year and that of conventional rice paddies was22 793.31 yuan RMB/ha per year.The total indirect value of ES was 14 813.7 yuan RMB/ha per year in organic rice paddies and12 424.56 yuan RMB/ha per year in conventional ones.There were significant differences between organic and conventional rice paddies for the economic values.Then,this economic information was used to extrapolate and to calculate the total and indirect value of ES from rice paddies in Wangnian.The total and indirect economic values of ES from conventional rice paddies in Wannian were6791 million and 3702 million yuan RMB per year respectively,and the total and indirect economic values of ES from organic rice paddies in Wannian were 1311 million and 646 million yuan RMB per year.If half the area had being converted to organic farming in Wannian,the total and indirect economic values of ES from conventional rice paddies were 3397 million and 1851 million yuan RMB per year,and the total and indirect economic values of ES from organic rice paddies were 5794 million and 2852 million yuan RMB per year.Finally,the total economic value of ES in rice paddies in Wannian was demonstrated through geographic information system techniques.     

Vulnerability Assessment of Snow Disaster Based on Traffic System： A Case Study of Chenzhou City in Hunan Province, China

The article establishes the patterns of urban snow disaster system and disaster chain based on the theory of regional disaster system. The patterns indicate that urban snow disaster is exacerbated mainly through the traffic system. In addition, the paper sets up the vulnerability assessment index system and synthetically vulnerability assessment model of urban snow disaster which are mainly based on traffic system, and applies them in Chenzhou City. The results of assessment indicate that obvious geographical differences exist in the vulnerability of snow disaster bearing bodies： vulnerability of Chenzhou section of the Beijing-Zhuhai expressway is the highest in Chenzhou City, and the southeastern counties are more vulnerable than the northwest region. Furthermore, according to the snow disaster vulnerability dynamic process analysis, the vulnerability of Chenzhou City obviously increased in 2008 winter compared with that in 2007. Finally, the paper presents some suggestions for the locations of the emergency commands and the reserves of relief materials based on the evaluation results, and points out that disaster monitoring and relevant technical level should be strengthened for the minimization of traffic system＇s vulnerability.

政府强互惠激励下跨界流域一级水权分散优化配置模型

我国跨界流域水资源冲突问题较严重,一级水权集中配置方案因其过于理想化而实施效率低下,难以应对冲突。提出应在规划和决策的前期给予各类主体充分的利益表达机会,创新一级水权配置模式,构建政府强互惠激励政策协调下的多用水主体分散优化配置模型。首先将分散优化与集中优化进行对比,分析政府强互惠激励下的分散优化协调机制对提高跨界流域水资源的配置效率和配置方案的可操作性的作用;基于分散优化的基本模型,加入政府强互惠节水激励政策,通过节水激励水价这一因子代替原分散优化模型的自利因子,构建一般的一级水权分散优化模型和政府强互惠激励下的一级水权分散优化模型;以漳河流域为例,对模型进行计算及对比分析。研究结果表明:一般分散优化配置模式中,主体的自利性使得流域整体利益受损,尤其是在来水极少的年份;政府强互惠激励下的分散优化配置模式能够兼顾流域宏观和微观的利益。来水量对于跨界流域一级水权配置模式有重要影响,来水量充裕时,政府可放手用水主体进行自主治理,降低行政管理成本;来水量短缺时,政府必须注意改变管理模式,对不同用水主体实施差异化政策激励,加强主体的节水动力;来水量越少,政府强互惠激励下的分散优化配置模式优势越明显。由于既充分考虑各用水主体的利益又能体现流域统一管理理念,因此,政府强互惠激励下的跨界流域一级水权分散优化配置模式在当前流域统一管理和区域分块管理相结合的管理体制下避免了权力冲突。

城市工业部门脱钩分析

节能减排是我国应对能源短缺与全球变暖两大环境热点问题的基本国策。目前国家已经制定了一系列节能减排目标并分解落实到地区与行业执行。城市是人类生产和生活的中心,快速城市化带来了人口、能源消费和碳排放的激增。工业部门在城市经济发展和能源消费中占据着重要地位,因此成为节能减排工作的重点对象。重庆市对西部地区的发展有着重要的意义,目前在工业化进程中面临着巨大的节能减排压力。本文以重庆市为案例对象,应用脱钩分析方法研究了该市各工业部门经济增长、能源消耗和碳排放之间的关联特征,并提出脱钩稳定性指标用以评价脱钩状态的波动情况。结果表明:重庆市工业部门能源消费品种单一,对煤炭依赖性过大;高能耗部门虽然表现为弱脱钩,且脱钩稳定性高,但能耗强度和碳排放强度偏大,远高于工业部门的平均水平;部分中低能耗部门由于生产技术相对落后和关键节能减排技术缺失造成能源利用效率参差不齐和碳排放水平不稳定。依据研究结果本文提出重庆市工业部门节能减排的实施建议。     

市场转型对中国环境治理结构的影响——国家污染物减排指标的分配机制研究

国家统计局数据显示,2006年我国节能减排任务均远未实现国家十一五规划开局之年的目标,特别是主要污染物排放总量不降反升.本文在分析了中国环境治理体系和国家十一五规划主要污染物减排指标分配机制的基础上,研究了市场转型对中国环境治理结构的影响.中国的市场转型可以抽象为以分权让利、市场化和工业化为主要特征的结构演进过程.文中提出,中国市场转型过程对环境治理结构造成了重大影响,而环境治理的各项措施反过来也应与市场转型相适应.当前中国主要污染物减排指标没有实现达标的重要原因是国家污染物减排指标的分配机制无法适应我国市场转型的要求.为此,本文提出一系列国家主要污染物减排指标分配机制的政策建议.     

我国跨行政区河流域水污染治理管理机制的研究——以江浙边界水污染治理为例

中国正处于经济转型的交叉路口,水环境日趋恶化已成为中国经济发展的最大障碍。跨行政区水污染问题为资源环境有效配置、地区经济可持续发展、上下游地方政府及人民之间矛盾解决及社会稳定等问题提出了严峻挑战。以江苏浙江边界水污染治理为例,结合国外跨行政区水资源管理经验,研究适合中国国情的跨行政区水污染治理管理机制。研究发现,当前中国跨行政区水污染治理面临的最主要问题,是流域管理与行政区域管理间的矛盾。解决跨行政区水污染治理较为可行的方案是：保持以条块结合的政府层级结构基础上的管理体制,通过机构、机制、法规等综合性改革来协调当前管理体制中流域及区域中不同部门、不同层级间的矛盾。     

转型期耕地数量动态变化及最佳非农转化量的实证研究——以江苏省为例

伴随着我国经济的快速发展和城市化进程的加快，对土地资源的需求量急剧上升，作为土地中的精华——耕地资源也在农业部门和经济建设之间面临着如何分配的矛盾。如何确保耕地资源在粮食安全和经济发展间的优化配置已经成为一个迫切需要解决的问题。本文试图通过对江苏省耕地数量的变动态势进行分析，并运用区域容许耕地转换量化模型（MAC）来确定江苏省可以允许转换的耕地的最优数量，借此来确定区域耕地保护的底线及调控指标，为城市化进程中区域耕地资源的优化配置提供一种依据和解决思路。     

Cultural Relevance for Rural Community Development in China: A Case Study in Bai, Jingpo and Huyaodai Communities of Yunnan Province

A three-year study over the Bai, Jingpo and Huayaodai communities in Yunnan Province reveals that the community development is significantly influenced in various ways by such cultural factors as the concepts of development; concepts and traditions of inter-community relationships, consumption, mar- riage and gender; patterns of decision-making and production, resource and income allocation; as well as the role of information dissemination systems, religion and ritual. Based on the analysis over the interactive relevance between each factor and community development, some strategies and methods for dealing with such a cultural relevance in development projects are recommended.
