Industrial park management in the Chinese environment

In China many investments especially from foreign companies are located in industry parks. However, the general situation and management perspectives of developing Chinese industrial parks are not very clear to the westerners. With the rapid development, industrial parks will play a key role in China's economy, therefore, those issues relating with China's industrial parks need to be further discussed. This paper is one of such efforts. It will review the development of China's industrial parks, including characterizing industry parks in China and discussing the main site selection criteria and important aspects for foreign investors. The main focus of this paper is to discuss the current environmental management practices of industrial parks because such parks have been main sources of pollution. New development strategy for industrial parks, such as eco-industrial development, should be considered and implemented.     

阅读树木倾听自然

读书是学习,读树也是学习,是一种在户外感受自然、师法自然的学习,若能读出树的沧桑,听懂树的倾诉,那你的爱便是到了超凡脱俗的境界。 　　在北京麋鹿苑的户外生态教育活动中,有一个由二人进行的“读树”游戏,十分引人入胜。蒙面者在同伴的带领下,来到某棵大树前,通过用手触摸、用耳聆听、用心阅读,引发你对树木的亲和力,提高你对自然的感受力。做完游戏,你一定颇有感慨,那就请你一吐为快,与大家共享吧。 　　最近,美国自然教育家柯内尔来京教授了许多游戏,其中有一个叫“我的树”,是以人扮树,通过角色的转换,体验树的…     

Analysis on the Evolution of Regional Economic Disparity in the West Coast of the Strait

With the implementation of reform and opening-up, the overall economy of China has made brilliant achievements; meanwhile, however, the economic disparity has been enlarging among some regions, and between the city and the countryside. The existence and evolution of this kind of economic disparity is concerned with social stability, sustainable development and the construction of harmonious society, which has gradually become the hotspot in social economic development. The West Coast of the Strait （WCS） located in southeast littoral areas is adjacent to the Pearl and Yangtze River Delta in the south and north and faces Taiwan Province in the east. The stability and development of this region has vital political and economic meaning in the social economic development of our country. It has important theoretical meaning and practical value to research the form, characteristics and evolution of regional economic disparity in the WCS. Based on insightful analysis on existing study results on the WCS, the paper defines the connotation and extension. By a series of absolute and comparative relative evaluation indexes and taking the WCS since 1992 as the study object, the paper makes analysis on different scales including three regions, four regions, 20 cities and 152 counties, quantitatively evaluates the level, characteristics and evolution of the regional economic disparity and compares the regional economic disparity on different scales. The main conclusions are as follows： the variation trend of the absolute disparity of the whole region is obvious and stable, which has presented an inflating trend; the comparative variation trend on a large scale has waved, The comparative disparity of the three regions increased annually from 1992 to around 2000, which had a decreasing trend from around 2000 to 2005; the comparative variation trend on a small scale was not stable, which showed an annual increase of four regions, 20 cities and 152 counties from 1992 to around 2003 and a decrease from around 2003 to 2005; the

昆虫唤醒的记忆

展读新版法布尔的十卷本《昆虫记》，心绪仿佛一下回到那几乎是与虫为伍、以虫为乐的孩提时代。在工业化不太发达、农药化肥不太普及的３０年前，我还是个小学生，记得那时生活环境中的昆虫五花八门、种类繁多，什么屎壳郎、磕头虫、花珠珠、花手绢、臭大姐、喇喇姑、知了、刀螂、天牛、马蜂、扑棱蛾子……不胜枚举，仅晴蜒就分老子儿、膏药、灰儿、黄二、黑锅底、红辣椒、小日本儿等，养点儿蛐蛐儿、油葫芦什么的，更是男孩子的拿手戏。那时，我是将昆虫当成玩意儿、当成伙伴儿，甚至有一回还因把一只大豆虫塞进女同学的铅笔盒、吓得她上课…     

Regional initiatives on promoting cleaner production in China: a case of Liaoning

With the increasing environmental issues, now cleaner production has been implemented across all the regions of China. During this process, regional governments have played a leading role for promoting cleaner production. Main measures include coordinating the various stakeholders, providing financial support, stipulating appropriate policies and conducting capacity building programs. Such an innovative initiative is quite unique and should be further studied. This paper reflects such a perspective through a case study of Liaoning province. We first introduce the main initiatives for the promotion of cleaner production in Liaoning and then identify the key barriers. Our focus is to provide suggestions for future improvements. Finally we make our conclusions.     

从众心理对环保行为的影响研究

环保行为对于维持生态平衡,保护自然环境有着重要的意义,个人并非从小就有环保意识,需要多方面影响才能养成环保习惯。研究了从众心理对环保行为的影响,从积极影响和消极影响两个角度进行分析,政府加大治理力度,通过媒体等手段宣传环保意识,树立典型环保先锋,则会造成积极影响,社会群众会自发地从事环保行为,维持低碳生活;反之周围人缺少环保意识,浪费资源,则个体也会不重视保护环境,甚至为了个人利益做出破坏生态平衡的事情。从众心理对于环保行为有着关键性影响,必须要积极提倡大众养成环保意识,保护环境,从小做起,从个人做起,为其他人树立榜样     

Emission factors of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from domestic coal combustion in China

Domestic coal stove is widely used in China, especially for countryside during heating period of winter, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons （PAHs） are important in flue gas of the stove. By using dilution tunnel system, samples of both gaseous and particulate phases from domestic coal combustion were collected and 18 PAH species were analyzed by GC-MS. The average emission factors of total 18 PAH species was 171.73 mg/kg, ranging from 140.75 to 229.11 mg/kg for bituminous coals, while was 93.98 mg/kg, ranging from 58.48 to 129.47 mg/kg for anthracite coals. PAHs in gaseous phases occupied 95% of the total of PAHs emission of coal combustion. In particulate phase, 3-ring and 4- ring PAHs were the main components, accounting for 80% of the total particulate PAHs. The total toxicity potency evaluated by benzo[a]pyrene-equivalent carcinogenic power, sum of 7 carcinogenic PAH components and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxin had a similar tendency. And as a result, the toxic potential of bituminous coal was higher than that of anthracite coal. Efficient emission control should be conducted to reduce PAH emissions in order to protect ecosystem and human health.
