环鄱阳湖区生态足迹与经济产业发展关系的实证研究

生态足迹是衡量区域生态承载力状况的一个较成熟的方法。首先通过计量模型计量出环鄱阳湖区1989~2008年生态足迹的时间序列值,并评价了其承载状况。结果显示,近20 a来,环鄱阳湖区的生态足迹从1989年的1 401万hm2提升到2008年的3 145万hm2,呈波动上升趋势;生态承载力从1989年的6 255万hm2上升至2008年的7 215万hm2,基本上呈不断上升的变化趋势。环鄱阳湖区生态承载力能满足区域的生态足迹需求,表现出生态盈余,但其盈余空间从1989年的4 220万hm2降低至2008年的4 069万hm2,总体上呈减少趋势。其次,将生态足迹与区域的经济总量和三次产业进行协整分析后得出,生态足迹的GDP弹性为035,其三次产业的弹性分别为0668 3、0011、0049 4。最后,从加强土地管理、强化区域贸易、改变消费方式、完善产业体系等角度提出了协调环鄱阳湖区生态环境与经济产业发展的政策措施

海洋灾害中政府承灾力脆弱性研究

信息扩散方法可以将一个分明值的样本点变成一个模糊集,把单值点变成集值样本点.这种方法对于海洋灾害呈现的非连续、样本点个数少的情况尤其适用,可以最大程度挖掘数据本身携带的信息.本文以市级区域作为研究对象,利用信息扩散原理建立政府承灾力脆弱性评价模型,通过对政府承灾系数的超越概率分析来评价海洋灾害中政府承灾力的脆弱性.进而对海洋灾害政府承灾力的脆弱度进行系统聚类分析,并以山东省为例进行实证研究,最终得到山东省沿海各市风暴潮灾害政府承灾力脆弱度的风验区划图.研究结果表明,威海、烟台、东营、日照的政府承灾力脆弱度较重,青岛、滨州次之,而潍坊的政府脆弱度最小.究其差异原因,各市不尽相同,主要表现在各市灾害发生概率、经济发展水平以及重视程度的不同.长期来看,海洋灾害中政府承灾力的提高依赖于最大程度减少海洋灾害带来的经济损失以及最大程度保障政府应对灾害的资金准备,为各级政府提高抗灾减灾能力提供了一定参考.     

基于价值创造的环境管理理论研究

环境问题已经成为当今重要课题,企业是环境问题的产生与解决方案的重要参与者,环境管理并不意味着企业的经济效益的下降,或者说企业价值的降低。基于价值创造的环境管理理论告诉我们,环境绩效可以增加财务绩效,环境的投入可以创造价值。当企业认识到环境问题的经济价值的时候,有助于企业加强环境管理,实现环境与财务的双赢。     

青海省限制开发区人口容量研究

对主体功能区划分后,必然会由此突现一些问题,其中合理的人口容量就是亟待解决的关键问题之一。青海省地处青藏高原东北部,是连接青藏高原,西北地区及华中地区的重要区域,其区域内有三江源等重要的生态功能区,该区域的生态建设和经济发展具有很重要的意义。尤其是在青海省内限制开发区面积较大,其发展更有着举足轻重的作用。本文以青海省主体功能区的划分为基础,借鉴相关的研究成果,利用适度人口容量的PRE预测方法,预测并讨论青海省限制开发区的适度人口容量,分析了适度人口容量和该地区可持续发展的关系,提出了人口迁移的意见,将对青海省主体功能区的形成和发展有一定的借鉴和帮助。     

Vulnerability of the South African farming sector to climate change and variability: An indicator approach

This paper analyses the vulnerability of South African agriculture to climate change and variability by developing a vulnerability index and comparing vulnerability indicators across the nine provinces of the country. Nineteen environmental and socio‐economic indicators are identified to reflect the three components of vulnerability: exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity. The results of the study show that the regions most exposed to climate change and variability do not always overlap with those experiencing high sensitivity or low adaptive capacity. Furthermore, vulnerability to climate change and variability is intrinsically linked with social and economic development. The Western Cape and Gauteng provinces, which have high levels of infrastructure development, high literacy rates, and low shares of agriculture in total GDP, are relatively low on the vulnerability index. In contrast, the highly vulnerable regions of Limpopo, Kwazulu‐Natal and the Eastern Cape are characterised by densely populated rural areas, large numbers of small‐scale farmers, high dependency on rain‐fed agriculture and high land degradation. These large differences in the extent of vulnerability among provinces suggest that policymakers should develop region‐specific policies and address climate change at the local level.     

Effects of aircraft noise and speech on prose memory: What role for working memory capacity?

Previous research indicates that aircraft noise and meaningful background speech are particularly detrimental to school adolescents' ability to remember what they read, but until now the effects from aircraft noise and speech have never been compared directly in an experiment. Furthermore, individual differences in susceptibility to these effects are not well understood. The present investigation addressed these two issues. Adolescents attending upper secondary school were recruited as participants and the data collection was made in their ordinary classrooms. The results from two experiments revealed that speech is more detrimental to prose memory than is aircraft noise, and individual differences in working memory capacity contributes more to individual differences in susceptibility to the effects of aircraft noise on prose memory than to the effects of speech. Some applied implications of those findings to noise abatement interventions are suggested.     

Contrasting the core beliefs regarding the effective implementation of wind power. An international study of stakeholder perspectives

This paper analyses patterns in beliefs about the implementation of wind power as part of a geographical comparison of onshore wind power developments in the Netherlands, North-Rhine Westphalia and England. Q methodology is applied, in order to systematically compare the patterns in stakeholder views on the institutional conditions and changes in the domains of energy policy, spatial planning and environmental policy. Three factors represent support for wind power implementation from fundamentally different perspectives. The fourth perspective is critical opposed to wind power developments as well as critical to the manner in which wind projects are proposed, planned and implemented. These four perspectives exist across the geographical cases; however, some perspectives are prominent in one case and marginal in another. This relates to different legacies and varying implementation achievements in the three cases. The analysis shows that an approach that focuses on implementing as much wind power as possible, relying on technocratic reasoning and hierarchical policies is in practice the least successful, whereas collaborative perspectives with more emphasis on local issues and less on the interests of the conventional energy sector were particularly dominant in the most successful case, North-Rhine Westphalia.
