Analysis on the Business Objectives and Behavior Patterns of the Coal Enterprise Basis on Social Responsibility Cost
Authors: Gao Shuangn Xi
Published: June 2012

As for coal enterprise, whether it should maximize profit, or maximize sales for the target is more beneficial to development of coal enterprise and coal industry, is always a study topic in economics field. Economics theory is applied in this thesis, inferring that coal enterprise' target profit of seeking sales maximization is lower than maximum possibility profit, and Social Responsibility Cost of seeking sales income maximization is more than that of seeking profit maximization, which is advantageous for improving level for coal enterprise. While Social Responsibility Cost increases, coal enterprise' coal price and coal output are invariable for enterprise seeking profit maximization, but other enterprise that seeks sales maximization will cut down output and improve coal price. At last, the thesis brings forward that government ought to guide coal enterprise to seek sales maximization, not profit maximization. There by, government should formulate the coal enterprise ‘Social Responsibility Cost policy' according to coal enterprise target, which is beneficial for coal enterprise to increase Social Responsibility Cost at the same time and control coal output and price, as well as health development of our country's coal industry.

Published: June 2012

Since the view that energy efficiency improvement would increase rather than reduce energy consumption, so-called rebound effect, was put forward and has been the focus that is encouraging a fierce debate within mainstream economics. This paper tries to introduce an improved estimation model by efficiency share decomposed from energy intensity, based on IPAT equation to estimate the rebound effect of three major regions in Guangdong, together with redistricting Guangdong applying hierarchical clustering analysis. The result shows the average rebound effect of low-intensity high-yield area, high-intensity low-yield area, and low-intensity low-yield area, is 17.91%, 10.82% and 8.10%, correspondingly. While the empirical study provides support of existence of rebound effect, it does suggest we should not only rely on improving energy efficiency, but also using market instruments such as resources taxes, to reinforce the energy savings.

Authors: Lin Wen Qi , Sang Qiu , Yu Ting , Ma Ming Fei
Published: June 2012

Industrial agglomeration often happens in the surrounding areas of a relatively developed industrial zone. If these industries are not environmentally friendly, the entire area will be contaminated. This is often the case in China. Therefore, in order to reduce the pollution in these contaminated regions, restructuring the category, size and spatial distribution of the surrounding industries based on the environmental constraints is urgently needed. In this paper, we build the relationship between the environmental contaminants and the industrial types, calculate the amount of pollution distribution in the industrial chain, and propose the approaches to control the types, size and spatial distribution of polluting industries. In the case of Wuhai and its surrounding regions(WH&SR), Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, based on the calculation of industrial types, size and spatial distribution in every cross-border region, we find that under the world-leading Cleaner Production Standards, output of polluting industries should be less than 20% in order to achieve its environmental goals.

Authors: Gao Zhi Gang , Han Yan Lin
Published: June 2012

Under the background of building the “Resource-conserving and Environment-friendly” society in China, the paper studies the coordinated development status of economy and environment within whole nation and Xinjiang in the period of 2003 to 2007 years from the point of evaluation and forecasting dimensions. Hence, the paper constructs out the indexes systems of economy and environment at first, calculates out the Economic, environmental Development Indexes and comprehensive Development Indexes by utilizing the methodology of AHP in order to figure out the coordinational degree and the coordinated development degree of economy and environment of Xinjiang and whole nation. Under the basis of those works, taking the methodology of Grey correlation as a basic forecasting tool, this paper predicts the coordinated development degree of economy and environment in Xinjiang and whole nation during the “The twelfth five year planning period”. The final conclusion come out by this study shows that three kinds of development indexes of Xinjiang and whole nation are of increasing trends except the slight fluctuation existed in the environmental development indexes in Xinjiang, and this leads to the slight different development paths in the coordination degree and the coordinated development degree between Xinjiang and whole nation. From the results of prediction it is clear that the whole nation will be in a well coordinated development type in 2010 year but the Xinjiang will stay in a type of barely coordinated development stage. Therefore, the study suggests that the development of circular economy is the key path for realizing the coordinated development of economy and environment between Xinjiang and whole nation, and it suggest that only the circular economy might provide a feasible technological path and pattern for the harmonious relationship between human and nature and the coordinated development between economy and environment.

The results have shown that: (1) There are significant differences of provincial total carbon footprint amounts: resource-rich provinces have high total carbon footprint amounts, followed by processing and manufacturing provinces and municipalities; Regions with high energy efficiency have low carbon footprint amounts, so does southwestern region where economic and industrial development level is relatively low. (2) The provincial differences of carbon footprint per capita are related to demand structure: the amounts of carbon footprint are high in provinces with higher demand of consumption and investment, especially those provinces with strong demand for construction and processing industries. The amounts of carbon footprint are low in provinces which are non-resource-based, have limited investment and construction, and its economic structure is not dominated by processing and manufacturing. (3) Interprovincial trades have a significant impact on carbon footprint and carbon emissions. Provinces with well developed infrastructure have net CO2 emissions flow-in that are directly induced by high energy consumption products; southwestern region, where processing and manufacturing industry is relatively less-developed, has main CO2 emission flow-in, which are induced by the demand of processing and manufacturing industries; resource-intensive provinces and provinces with well-developed processing and manufacturing industries have net CO2 emission flow-out, which are induced by interprovincial trades.
The Study for the Influencing Factors of Urban Heat Island Development
Authors: Chen Hua , Wang Kai
Published: June 2012

The impacts of some factors on the development of urban heat island are investigated in this paper. The results show that the development of urban heat island is influenced by many factors. Cold and try climate is more favorable for the development of urban heat island than warm and moist climate; Urban heat island develops slowly in those seashore cities that are influenced obviously by land and sea breezes. Closed topography (e.g., valleys, basins) is favorable for the development. The heat island development is direct proportional to urban developing speed; In the cities in which highly energy consumption industries concentrate, heat island is more obvious.

China’s Agricultural Development in Response to Climate Change
Authors: Bao Wen
Published: June 2012

Agricultural development, especially agricultural production in mountain areas, is fundamentally linked to climatic conditions, so any changes in climate will necessarily affect agricultural development. China’s agriculture faces several development challenges including those linked to climate change. Climate change is threatening food production systems and therefore the livelihoods of hundreds of millions of people who depend on agriculture in China. Agriculture is the sector most vulnerable to climate change due to its high dependence on climate and weather and because people involved in agriculture tend to be poorer compared with urban residents. Consistent warming trends and more frequent and intense meteorological disasters have been observed across China in recent decades. In line with climate change across the whole country, it will require agricultural development to implement comprehensive mitigation and adaptation strategies.
External Conditions Analysis of Coal Comprehensive Utilization Based on Low Carbon Economy
Authors: Zhu Mei Feng , Zhao Guo Hao
Published: June 2012

The low carbon economy is the basic way to realize the sustainable development. At present, the comprehensive utilization of coal resources is the important content to promote the low carbon economy development. This paper analyzes the external conditions of coal resources comprehensive utilization. First, the economy development needs a large quantity of coal in China, and the coal-dominant energy consumption pattern will not change in the short term. Second, there is a certain delay in adjusting the industrial structure. Third, the sunk cost is higher in the transformation of coal industry. The paper believes that comprehensive utilization of coal resources is the important segment to promote the development of China's low carbon economy under the restriction of the objective conditions.
