Development Path Of China's Western Region Of Industrial Ecology Research

Since 1960,the global environment pollution and ecology destruction has beenmore and more serious following the industrialization and growth of the worldeconomy. The conflict between the industry undertaking and the world environmenthas been more severely than before. Many people began to think and analyze thetraditional value and developing method that lead to the detrimental resourceexploration and the environment destruction. People should look for the newdevelopment mode based on the broaden horizons of economy,society,science,resource and environment that carry out the harmony among the development ofeconomy,society and environment. The sustainable development strategy cannotfollow the traditional mode with big input,high consumption and serious pollution.However,it must turn into the small input,low consumption and light pollution. Theenvironment economists bring forward the circular economy as the new developmentmode that requires people utilize the natural resource and environment capability in aresources-conserving and environment-friendly way. It will result in the ecotypetransformation of economic structure. The industrial ecology is industrial layer'sembody of the cyclic economy and advanced stage of industry development.This paper reveals the industrial ecology's connotation and its system's principleand character based on the idea's source of industry ecology and reviewing theprocess of industrial ecology's theory. From this point,it explores the developmentpath of industrial ecology in the west of China. The west eco-system is weak,thedecomposing ability of natural system is lower than that of the eastern region and theenvironmental pollution will be diffused from the upperstream to other regions easilyf. Therefore,it is very crucial for the west to build the eco-environment and practicethe sustainable development strategy of China. This dissertation discovers theproblems such as weakened resources,poor environment's performance and regionaleco-environment deterioration.Meanwhile,according to the analysis of EnvironmentalKuznets Curve,"first pollution,last treatment"cannot work in the west. If the weststill follows the traditional development mode,it would not appear the point ofinflexion for the environmental improvement. Besides,we get the ecologicalefficiency of substance metabolism in the west through the factor's analysis and principle component's analysis that shows the falling trend in the whole. As a result,itis necessary to develop the industrial ecology in the west for changing its ways ofeconomic growth. This paper figures out the industrial ecology's path based on thecharacter of resources,environment and industries in the west. Firstly,the eco-systemshould be built respectively from three aspects of the enterprise,industrial symbiosisnetwork and regional circular economy. Secondly,from the structural readjustmentand spatial organization of industries,it explores that the structural optimization andthe industrial ecology mutually have the active effect on each other and it is the samewith the mutual relations between the industrial clusters and the industrial ecology.Thirdly,it points that the environmental protection industry will play the importantrole in driving the development of industrial ecology of the west during the process ofthe interactions of the structural optimization,the industrial clusters and the industrialecology. Finally,the paper puts forward the proposals about guarantee system,economic measures and technical support for solving the existing restraining factorsof institutional framework,economy,technology and legislation in the process ofdevelopment.
