Coordinated Evolvement Between Economic And Environmental Systems In Shenyang Economic Zone

Since the foundation of New China, Northeast China is still the core area of ourheavy industry development. However, because of the extensive development modebefore, some resources and environmental issues are caused. Such as, amountingowing debts from environmental pollution, governance is difficult and thecontradictions between economic development and environmental pollution isprominent exception. What s more, with the increasing change of industrialization andcivilization to quality oriented, some non-attention environmental problems in thepast are increasingly become apparent. Shenyang Economic Zone as the core area andtypical representative of heavy industrial region of Northeast China, its industrialsystem s body mainly depends on machinery, metallurgy, petrochemical, and coal,electricity as well as building materials. It is an important equipment manufacturingand raw material industrial base with the earliest establishment, the largest scale, acomplete sort and equipment of our country. In the proportion of heavy industry is thedominant industrial structure, its environmental destruction becomes more prominent.In this paper, Shenyang Economic Zone was taken for an example to analyze theenvironmental problems in the development process since1990. We employedseveral methods to investigate the spatial temporal evolvement process ofeconomic-environment system from area scale and city scale in order to bring forwardsome useful advice for the sustainable development in Shenyang Economic Zone.Main contents of the thesis are as followed:1. The basal theories about the research.Basing on the existing researches, we think that the correlative theories about theresearch including the sustainable theory, human relations theory, circular economytheory, synergetic theory, environment and economic collaborative developmenttheory, and make comprehensive exposition to the connotation, characteristic, targetand constraint of the New Industrialize Strategy. 2. Making detailed analysis of the development conditions, the space-time evolutionof economic and ecological system in Shenyang Economic Zone.Making detailed analysis about the resources, industries, economic structures,developing bounds and other conditions as well as space-time evolution of ShenyangEconomic Zone, then justifying the developing conditions, developing advantages anddeveloping necessities as a newly industrialization comprehensive reform pilot area.Concluding the economic development of Shenyang Economic Zone and the status ofenvironmental evolution, EKC as a research tool, making an evaluation about theregional economy and the environment, the extent of interaction, characteristic andperformance. Using DEA as a tool, then determine the development effectiveness ofeconomic and ecological system of Shenyang Economic Zone and the eight cities in.3. Regional differences analysis of the cities economic and environmentaldevelopment of Shenyang Economic Zone.In this part, we are using spatial data analysis methods, analyzing the regionaldifferences from the scale of the city in the area of economic development andenvironment quality, then calculating the change value of the area s development, anddividing the developing sorts of all parts.4. Regional-scale evolution of the economic and ecological system of ShenyangEconomic Zone.In this part, we are taking comprehensive measures to the coordination level ofeconomic and ecological system in Shenyang Economic Zone. Firstly, we choose thecoupled coordination model, scissors method and dynamic coupling mode whichreflecting the state of interaction and phase difference between economic system andecological system separately. Secondly, we are combining with static studies anddynamic studies as well as traditional economic and environmental relation witheconometric methods, choosing the complete decomposition model and VEC, fromthe view of the horizontal space between the role in the region and the longitudinaltime effects separately, decomposing the relationship between economy andenvironment into scale effects, structural effects and technology effects then makinglong-term fixes and short-term correction in the relationship between economy andenvironment of Shenyang Economic Zone. Thirdly, selecting the econometricforecasting model, and making a short-term forecasts for running the economic andecological system of Shenyang Economic Zone.5. Support system and suggestions for new industrialization development inShenyang Economic Zone. Implementing the new industrialization practice of process of ShenyangEconomic Zone, this is including government policies, infrastructure, regionalsystems and economic factors. By analyzing the support system status of ShenyangEconomic Zone, then proposing innovation, transformation and improvement to theirsupport systems.Main conclusions including the follow ones:(1) the economic and ecologicalsystems of Shenyang Economic Zone in time evolution characteristics, with theeconomic development, comprehensive-environmental quality were improving.However, in the missions of major pollutants and other aspects are poor performances.On the whole, although the developing speed of Shenyang Economic Zone is faster,the living standard of people and the process of urbanization is rapidly increased, theindustrial structures is still room for improvement. The overall industrial wasteemission of Shenyang Economic Zone shows a growth trend and the situation ofregional economic and ecological development efficiency presents a continuousoptimization.(2) From1990to2009, the economic differences of ShenyangEconomic Zone were fluctuations in the trend of shrinking, which reflecting theprogressive harmonization of urban region development, the differences betweenregions were gradually narrowing and moved towards integration as well as commondevelopment trends. However, the environment level differences of ShenyangEconomic Zone were fluctuations in the trend of shrinking, the difference of spacelevel development within the urban environment in the region were showing a gradualwidening.(3) The coupled coordination degree of the economic and ecological systemof Shenyang Economic Zone is continuously improving; the scissors betweeneconomic and environmental systems continue to narrow proving that both thedevelopment paces differences are shrinking, which is helpful to coordinatedevelopment; coupled model demonstrate the economic and ecological systemsdevelopment trends toward the common development direction of evolution.(4)Economic and ecological time and space study of Shenyang Economic Zone showingthat the technical effects has played a most prominent role in the reduction, theincremental effect of the economic effects highlights, while effects of spatial structureis not obvious; to maintain the GDP and industrial emissions, industrial waste abalanced relationship can promote the growth of each variable, while maintaining abalanced relationship between GDP and industrial wastewater discharge can inhibitthe growth of each variable.(5) By predicting, from2010to2015, ShenyangEconomic Zone economy class data overall shows a growing trend. From every kindof environmental categories of indicators, growth in varying degrees of the originalpositive indicators (the bigger, the better), decline in varying degrees of the originalnegative indicators (the smaller, the better).
