Scattered Rural Settlements and Development of Mountainous Regions in Western Sichuan,China

Making rural settlements of Mountainous Regions in Western Sichuan as the study objects and using symbolic statistical methods, then combining the case study of Daofu County, the paper analyzes the negative impact of the scattered rural settlements on infrastructure construction, farmers＇ income increase and mountain ecological reconstruction in mountainous regions of western Sichuan. The results indicate that economic density is positively related to both rural settlements density （R^2=0.73） and rural population density （R^2=0.77）, and it is the same for relationship between towns density and rural settlements density （R^2=0.88） and between towns density and economic density （R^2=0.71）, and the scattered distribution pattern of the rural settlements and shortage of economic centers is a major factor to the lagged socioeconomic development. On the eco-economic zoning to Daofu County, the paper indicates the spatial distribution model and the industrial development model of the rural settlements need to be changed, and rural population should be concentrated in larger rural settlements with development of off-farm industries while infrastructure construction is to reinforced.

An Evaluation on the Effects of the Policy of the Great Campaign of Western Development of China in the First 10 Years Based on the Kuznets Regional Inverted-U Theory

In order to reduce the regional differentials or narrow the gap in economic development between eastern and western areas and prevent the intensification of contradictions resulting from the regional inequality during the development process, the government of China launched the Great Campaign of Western Development （GCWD） in 2000. In this paper, we will evaluate the effects of the first 10 years＇ GCWD and use the latest Chinese annual data from 1978 to 2010 to investigate the problem of regional differentials in the development process, evaluate the effects of GCWD policy and test whether there is a regional Kuznets inverted-U curve in the regional development of China. The result shows that there are both good and bad news： the good news is that the inverted U-shaped curve of absolute differential between eastern and western areas finally emerges （the previous studies showed that the inverted-U curve did not appear and the differentials between eastern and western areas became worse） and the bad news is that the differential is in the first half of the inverted U-shaped curve in our choice of time span （1978-2010）, that is, it is still in the situation of deterioration, and the turning better point will emerge in 2025. Although the western areas have benefitted from GCWD, the absolute gap has been still widened. To narrow the gap, the western areas should accelerate the industrial development and the government should adjust the policy and make more efforts to support the development of the industry in the western areas, especially cultivate and support the development of the western characteristic and advantageous industry rather than just supporting the construction of infrastructure in the western areas.

Eurasia Continental Bridge——An Important Link of the Coordinated Development between China's Eastern,Central and Western Regions

The new Eurasia Continental Bridgeruns from East China to Central andWest China, crossing 11 provincesand regions, namely Jiangsu, Shandong,Hubei, Anhui, Shaanxi, Gansu, Shanxi,Sichuan, Qinghai, Xinjiang and Ningxia.The total area is 3.6 million sq km and thepopulation is about 300 million, accountingfor a third and a quarter of the whole countryrespectively. The area is very rich in naturalresources, so it is called an "Economic goldbelt" and "Gold corridor". Aerial remote-control survey indicates that along thecontinental bridge from Lianyungang to theAla Mountains within China’s boundary,

Promoting East-West Interaction Exclusive interview with Dr.Cao Yushu,Deputy Director of the Office of the Leading Group for Western Region Development at the State Council

Economic growth and environmental "friendliness" are the dual missions of China's grand western development. In the past eight years,China has seen the gap between eastern and western regions still widening while also taking on the arduous task of protecting nature,ecology and environment in the western region. How has western development fared in the past eight years? What difficulties and challenges are being encountered? The development of the western region poses the single greatest difficulty facing China's regional economic development,but how can we advance along a "sound and fast" development path? The establishment of economic zones in Chengdu and Chongqing,Guanzhong and North Bay has opened up new possibilities and expectations for western China's economic development.

因地制宜发展新质生产力的现实依据与实施路径--来自西部地区九大城市群的经验证据

党的二十届三中全会通过决定--《中共中央关于进一步全面深化改革推进中国式现代化的决定》,强调要健全因地制宜发展新质生产力体制机制。作为新形势下中国经济实现高质量发展的重大部署和重要抓手,发展新质生产力绝不能出现各地区一哄而上、产业雷同和恶性竞争的局面,相反,需要结合地方自然资源禀赋、地理生态环境、人口教育水平、数字基础设施、创新研发能力等因素探寻比较优势和合适路径。西部地区作为国家安全与长远发展的重要基础,在中国式现代化进程中发展相对滞后,影响着中国经济高质量发展的总体水平。成渝、呼包鄂榆、北部湾、关中、滇中、兰西、宁夏沿黄、黔中和天山北坡等九大城市群是我国西部地区发展的重要动力源,也是西部地区抢抓新质生产力发展机遇的高地。文章基于2012—2022年中国西部地区城市面板数据,从科技生产力、绿色生产力和数字生产力三个维度构建综合评价指标体系,采用熵值法测算西部地区九大城市群新质生产力发展水平及各维度指数得分,并运用Dagum基尼系数法、核密度估计法、马尔科夫转移概率矩阵、σ收敛模型和β收敛模型考察了西部地区城市群新质生产力发展水平的时空特征、差异来源、演进规律及收敛机制。研究发现,整体而言西部地区城市群新质生产力发展水平呈现逐年增长态势,但总体水平偏低且表现出明显的梯度差异;并且存在着科技生产力水平最高、数字生产力水平次之、绿色生产力水平居末位的结构分解特征。在相对差异方面,西部城市群新质生产力发展水平的总体差异较为显著,其中超变密度和区域间差异是城市群区域差异的主要来源。在绝对差异方面,西部城市群的新质生产力发展水平的空间差异具有进一步扩大的趋势,并且存在“俱乐部趋同”现象和一定程度的“马太效应”。在收敛特征方面,短期来看西部地区的新质生产力水平差距尚未缩小,但长期来看存在绝对β收敛和条件β收敛趋势,即西部城市群新质生产力水平将在长期收敛到稳态水平。因此,西部地区在培育和发展新质生产力的进程中,既要因地制宜挖掘特色优势,又要统筹合作推进协调发展。

清代水利治理与地域社会的发展--以川西平原为例

清初都江堰渠系恢复以后,水利治理逐渐成为维系地方社会秩序的要务。官方政府在川西平原水利修筑事务中起到了主导性的作用,都江堰的治理模式奠定了川西平原“一体化”水利治理体系的基本格局,并形成了多方协作式岁修与官督民办式管理的水利治理特征。这种水利治理模式对川西平原地域社会的发展产生了深远影响,渠系的开发与河道的治理极大地推动了区域经济的发展;地方水利治理上,堰渠事务的分工与合作也不断协调着州县之间的关系;基层民堰管理上,堰长“中介人”的身份强化着官民之间的互动;于民而言,水利治理成为整合移民社会秩序的重要契机。

The road map for green development of Western China

China has made some remarkable achievements in sustainable development,but the constant deterioration of the overall trend of the environment has not yet been effectively curbed.To achieve the goal of sustainable development,we must first ensure coordination and coherence of national development goals in different areas and adhere to green development road.To achieve the objectives related to green development,and to clarify the direction of green development in the next 20years,a road map is needed to guide and coordinate the process.This paper describes the concept of the green development road map,introduces a green development road map for the western region,and further elaborates it The road map clarifies the objectives and guiding principles of green development in the western region,points the areas that deserve more concern and institutional innovation,and builds a green development monitoring and evaluation(M&E)framework.Finally,the paper provides corresponding policy recommendations based on the established road map.

China’s Western Development Strategy for Modernization Drive

The Western Development Strategy(WDS)is a key aspect of China’s coordinated regional development strategy and effort to build a modern country.The world is undergoing profound changes that have not been witnessed in a century.This paper discusses the WDS’s importance in regards to China’s modernization drive and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.First,this paper identifies the WDS’s mission to improve people’s livelihood in China’s western regions,promote common prosperity for the Eurasian continent,and support the green transition of China’s and Eurasian energy economic and environmental systems,and safeguard ecological security in Asia at large.Second,this paper suggests that the key to the WDS is to reshape the geographical layout of economic activity in the western regions to avoid inefficiency.Specifically,China should develop a compact geographical layout of economic activity in the western regions,introduce a unique competition strategy,as well as find solutions for coordinated regional development based on key river basins.Finally,develop smart internet and inland free ports within the western regions.

新时代西部大开发推进民族地区加快构建新发展格局的作用机理与实践进路

新时代西部大开发契合了中国全面构建现代化产业体系的战略布局要求,是推动民族地区与西部地区同步走向社会主义现代化的民族工作部署,是推动民族地区加快构建新发展格局的新动力。文章首先辨析了新时代西部大开发与民族地区加快构建新发展格局的历史背景,并从自然资源、地缘区位及国家政策三个方面分析了民族地区加快构建新发展格局的主要优势。研究发现,新时代推进西部大开发提升了民族地区科技创新能力、厚植了民族地区绿色发展能力、扩大了民族地区内需能力、深化了民族地区重点领域安全保障能力,进而加快了民族地区新发展格局生成。鉴于此,可以从四个方面探索新时代西部大开发推动民族地区加快构建新发展格局的实践进路:一是贯彻科技创新战略,建设具有民族地区特色的现代产业体系;二是坚持绿色发展底色,推进民族地区绿色低碳发展;三是创新人才队伍建设,统筹民族地区教育科技人才深度融合发展;四是推进基础设施互联互通建设,扩大高水平对外开放和畅通国内国际双循环。
