我国生态工业园认识和实践中的误区:隐喻的使用

Debates in research and practice of eco-industrial park in China:the utilization of metaphor

近几年随着我国生态工业园的蓬勃发展,不可避免地出现了一些认识和实践中的误区,这些问题将会影响我国循环经济工作的健康开展。生态工业园在理论层面中的一个基本属性就是其概念的隐喻性,而我国的学术界和实践界都或多或少地忽视了这个问题,将研究和实践带入了一个不必要的误区。提出了工业系统与自然系统之间的双向隐喻现象,并深入分析了隐喻在科学研究中的作用和限制;总结了我国生态工业园相关的隐喻性概念及其泛化现象,进而分析了其产生的深层原因,并提出了改进建议;以工业共生不稳定现象的研究为案例初步说明了如何在产业生态学的研究中合理地使用隐喻性概念。

Following the rapid development of eco-industrial park projects in China, more and more debates appear in research and practice domains, which will influence the progress of Circular Economy. Theoretically, the concept of ecoindustrial park is a kind of metaphor rather than a scientific definition. Considering this background, any unlimited utilization of a concept with metaphorical features may go to a misappropriation situation in its research and practice. Firstly, the paper figures out the ＂ bidirectional metaphorical phenomenon＂ between sciences of industrial system and natural system. Then, it highlights advantages and weaknesses of using metaphorical concepts in scientific research. In view of the current situation of China, we summarize many concepts related to coo-industrial park and figure out its abusive utilization problem. Based on an analysis on its cultural background, some suggestions are provided to overcome the problem. Finally, the paper illustrates a case study about how to use this metaphorical concept in a research on the stability of industrial symbiosis.
