On Index System and Quantitative Assessment of Eco-cities： A Case Study on Urban Agglomeration of the Yangtze Delta

Urban agglomeration of the Yangtze Delta （UAYD）, one of the most developed regions of China, has witnessed an increasing prevalence in building ecological cities when the ecological cities are pursued by many modem cities, and great achievements have been made in this regard. It is inevitable, however, that certain problems exist during the construction of ecological city, which include but not limited to non-harmonious development of urban complex ecosystem, and the difficulty in quantifying eco-city construction or incomplete quantification in assessing the construction of present and future eco-city. Based on the analysis on social-economic conditions and regional conditions of the UAYD, this paper attempts to set up an index system of eco-cities combining with local characteristics, and to adopt the indices of eco-city, urban harmony, and eco-city colligate to evaluate the ecological level, urban harmonious development and eco-city construction of cities within the UAYD. Results indicate that among 15 cities in UAYD, Suzhou City ranks the highest in terms of eco-city construction, whereas Nantong ranks relatively lower; sustainable eco-city construction is possible only when cities are developed in every respect of harmony.

现代安全管理的根本要求是预防为主,注重科学预测.美国安全心理学家海因里希指出:"在生产过程中,发现违章行为,必须立即进行监督整改,这是预防事故的有效手段,也是坚持预防为主的基本方针."     

决策失误,环境受损

决策失误是导致我国环境污染和生态破坏最主要的原因。环保界一位资深人士如是说。国外经验表明,对政策、规划进行环境影响评价,即战略环境影响评价,可以避免决策失误。 10月28日,九届全国人大常委会第三十次会议通过了《中华人民共和因环境影响评价法》,并将于2003年9月1日起实施。该法规定,发展规划在编制过程中应当进行环境影响评价,这标志着我国环保界呼唤已久的战略环境影响评价制度将被正式实施。战略环境影响评价制度法定地位的确立,不仅是对我国环境影响评价制度的完善与发展,而且将有力地推动环境与发展综合决策机制的建立,使可持续发展思想和战略成为经济发展规划的有机组成部分,并通过规划的落实贯彻到所有开发建设活动中。
