西部大开发中民族地区可持续发展的环境法律问题研究

A Study of the Legality of the Environment for Sustainable Development in the Ethnic Areas in the Development of West China

少数民族中,大多数居住在中西部自然条件差,经济发展滞后的地区,加上历史因素的影响,少数民族文化素质偏低和法律、环保意识相对淡薄,大多少数民族地区生态环境十分脆弱,可持续发展能力差。中央西部大发战略的提出,给西部少数民族地区经济带来了机遇,同时也给这些地区的可持续发展带来了挑战。文章从立法、司法与守法等方面探讨了少数民族地区可持续发展的法律环境的有关问题,并提出了相应的建议,力图通过完善少数民族地区的法律环境,从法律方面保障少数民族地区的可持续发展。

Most of the ethnic minorities live in the central - west area with poor natural resources and lower level of economic development, which, together with some historical factors, results in the lower level of cultural quality and the weakness of law awareness. In most ethnic areas, the ecologic environment is poor, and the capacity for sustainable development is quite low. The calling for “developing the west” brings opportunities to the development of economy in the ethnic areas as well as challenges to them. This essay is going to discuss some issues related to the law environment for sustainable development in the ethnic areas in the aspects of legislation, judicature, and observation of the law. It also attempts to present some advice to perfect the law environment in the ethnic areas and thus to guarantee the sustainable development in those areas.
