Regional Distribution and Sustainable Development Strategy of Mineral Resources in China

This paper summarizes the distribution and production layout of the major mineral resources in China,including coal,iron ore,copper and bauxite,from a national perspective.It also identifies the incompatibility between the mineral resources distribution and regional economic development.Significant issues with China's mineral resource industry cause challenges for the sustainable development of both the mining industry and the national socio-economy.The sustainability of regional mineral resources and the environmental pollution by mining in the western China were also analyzed.Results show that the distribution of China's mineral resources is misaligned with its regional layout of economic development.China's mineral resources have been over-exploited,and the mineral resources production in the eastern China is unsustainable.The continuously expanding production of mineral resources in the western China has heavily endangered the ecological environment.We propose strategies to boost the sustainable development of mineral resources,including measures to accelerate economic development and enhance the sustainability of domestic mineral resources.We also offer suggestions for scientifically planning the mineral resource prospecting and exploitation and regional economic layout,as well as for proactively undertaking industry transfer in the eastern China and raising the environmental benchmark requirements for the mineral industry in the central and western China.

基于集对分析的区域生态文化健康评价--以云南省大理白族自治州为例

生态文化健康是衡量区域自然生态和社会文化可持续发展的重要准则。本文以云南省生态城镇建设区——大理白族自治州为例,基于生态—文化耦合系统可持续性视角构建生态文化健康评价指标体系,采用集对分析和信息熵开展县域尺度定量评价,并通过分析各县市自然、文化健康组合状况,开展相应的管控发展战略分区。研究结果表明:大理州生态文化健康水平呈现西部高于东部、北部优于南部的整体特征,云龙县生态文化健康水平为全州最高,祥云县最低。根据各县市的生态文化健康因子组合特征将12个县市分为四类发展战略区,即生态文化协同保护区、生态文化均衡发展区、生态恢复优先区、文化建设优先区。本文提出的生态文化健康评价指标体系对制定区域可持续发展战略具有重要的理论和实践意义。
