Eco-industrial Park, Industrial Symbiosis Network

Industrial Symbiosis Network (ISN) is an important research field of Industrial Ecology. In the past few decades, the industry pollutions had been becoming increasingly serious. A good way to solve these problems is for the industrial activities to imitate the natural ecological system, and made industry system a part of resource recycling and energy flow of natural ecological system. Under this pattern, "by-product" of one produces process maybe the raw material of another process. So that the resources(energy, water and raw material) of the entire industrial system comes to be a closed-loop circle. By doing this, can we well protects the environment while enhancing the economic welfare.The paper conducts the research by combining demonstration research with normative research, quantity research with quality research. The researches of industrial symbiosis Network in Eco-Industrial Park (EIP) involves various kinds of disciplines, it spends the author nearly 3 years on literature review and searches. In the meanwhile, the author carried out field survey by supporting of several important research projects preside by supervisor and conducts the comparison at home and aboard on ISN in EIP. The questions drawn from comparison may be the special question to research. In view of the deficiency of current research, the paper conducts the special research in three dimensions: formation mechanism, structural pattern and the resource recycling and management of ISN. The paper comprehensively implements Industrial Ecology, Transaction Cost Economics, Game Theory, Network Organization Theory in the research. In addition, the paper tries to use Industrial Cluster Theory, Structural Dissipation Theory in the analysis of ISN. Finally, in view of the stability of ISN, the paper makes suggestions to the governance of the ISN.The paper firstly reviews and analyzed the related theory of ISN, and makes comparison by the development of several typical EIP such as Denmark, America, Canada, Japan, China, and elicits the formation channel, organizational pattern of ISN. Then, the paper analyzed the motivation mechanism of the partner taken part in EIP, and deduces the positive correlation between the environment cost, governance punishment and the formation of ISN. In the meanwhile, the paper analyses the formation mechanism of ISN using Transaction Cost Economics, Industrial Cluster Theory, and System Complexity and Structural Dissipation theory in explaining structural characteristics of ISN. The paper describes ISN as a nonlinear dynamic complexity system, and with self-organization characteristics. Next, the paper constructs the structural model of ecological industrial chain by imitating the producer, consumer and decomposer in natural ecological system, andanalyses the resources flow from the viewpoint of value chain. Based on the theory of byproduct exchange, the paper put forwards four kinds of operation model of ISN, and analyze them hi detail by using of the case study. Moreover, the paper draws recourse flow mode of ISN, and constructs byproduct exchange model. In addition, the paper analyzed the opportunisms occur in ISN, and put forwards four governance patterns, and also its characteristics, application fields and etc. Besides, the paper makes some suggestions on how to maintain the stability and safety of ISN. Finally, on the basis of review about the whole contents, the paper points out the further research direction of this field.
