| In the next20-30years, the mineral resources development and supply situation will keep severe when China is in the process of industrialization, urbanization and building a moderately prosperous society. To protect mineral resources safety, improve the utilization of mineral resources and maintain ecological environment of mining, not only needs to play the role of market regulation and initiative of corporate, but also needs to improve the government’s macro regulation and mine administration and management. Mineral resources planning is the important basis, policy agenda and action guide for China’s macro regulation and management to mineral resources development and minerals supply. Since the beginning of the20th century, China have been carried out two round overall mineral resources planning, formed a relatively complete mineral resources special planning and regional planning, which has played a significant role in guarantee sustainable supply of mineral resources, protection and intensive utilization of mineral resources and protection of the mining and geo-ecological environment.China has to strengthen economic regionalization of mineral resources if to finish mineral resources planning. That is not only because different types of mineral has a lot of differences in mineral reserves, resource endowments, requirement size and development layout, so that needs to set a different exploration, development planning zone to optimize the mining layout and total control of mineral resources development; there are also differences in shortage degree, industrial value and defense value, that needs to adopt a different mineral resources development and protection policies to achieve strategic minerals continuously and the mail mineral resource sustainability; but also because the development of mineral resources is relatively close to regional economic development in resource-rich zones, and mining economy has the higher economic contribution to industrial economy, that needs to guide and promote the development of mining economy through "top-level design" in mining economic zonesThis research aimed at enriching mineral resources planning theory, regulating economic division of mineral resources system, the efficient utilization and protection of the limited mineral resources, and optimizing the government’s macro regulation and management functions on the development and supplement of mineral resources. Take Hubei Province for example, it built a multi-level framework for mineral resource economics division which includes strategic zones of mineral resources, planning zone of mineral resources and mining economic zone that is the theoretical and empirical support for China’s development and utilization of mineral resources and mineral political management.This study is divided into seven chapters, of which the first, second, seven chapters were the introduction, theoretical basis and conclusions and outlook, from the third to the sixth chapter are the core chapters. The main contents of the research are as follows:Chapter1. Introduction. This part introduces the research background and significance of the topic. Through the literature review on the mineral resources planning and economic division, it summarizes the deficiencies about existing theoretical research on mineral resource economic division, and the reality of theoretical research behind the practice, and then proposed research contents, methods and innovations.Chapter2. Theoretical basis on mineral resource economic division.Mineral resource economic division is an important content of mineral resource planning, in the theoretical aspects, it related to geographical division and economic division theory, location choice theory, regional economic expansion theory, regional planning theory etc. Among them, the regional planning theory involved in the main functional zones planning, urban planning, industrial planning and mineral resource planning and so on.Chapter3. Resource basis and division framework of mineral resource division in Hubei Province..Hubei province has favorable mineral geological conditions and abundant mineral resources; mining has become one of the pillar industries in Hubei Province. The objectives of the implementation of the mineral resources economic division includes6aspects, guaranteeing the sustainable supply of mineral resources, total quantity control of mineral resources development, optimizing the exploitation layout of mineral resources, conservation and efficient use of mineral resources, mining environmental protection and mining technological advances. Mineral Resource Economics division in Hubei province is a multi-level framework which including three aspects, mineral resources strategic zone, mineral resources planning zone and mining economic zone. The program flow of implementation of economic mineral resource division are:data collection and thematic analysisâ†'clear the objective of mineral resource economic divisionâ†'formulate scheme on mineral resource economic divisionâ†'carry out division and set out supporting measuresâ†'edit and revise the division scheme. The coordination mechanisms of mineral resource economics division in Hubei province including publicity and training, administrative coordination mechanisms and strengthen supervision partition etc.Chapter4. Strategic division and management policy of mineral resources in Hubei Province.Hubei strategic zone of mineral resources is a mineral enrichment region which is based on safeguarding national strategic minerals’ security and sustainable supply of bulk advantaged mineral, and with rich reserves of strategic minerals, closely linked to the industrial economy and as the higher industrial value for the objects. Hubei strategic zone of mineral resource has an important significance for national mineral resource strategies and socio-economic requirement of Hubei province. Strategic zone division principle including macro with the directional principle, mining obey economic strategy principle, quality and quantity principle. Hubei strategic zone of mineral resource including national strategy based mineral resource zone and provincial advantages based mineral resources zone. Among them, national strategic mineral resources zone includes Hubei rare earth mine strategic division, Hubei titanium mine strategic division, Hubei vanadium mine strategy division, Hubei iron ore strategy division. Based on the advantaged mineral, strategic zone of Hubei Province is divided into Hubei phosphate strategy division, Hubei salt mines strategic division, Hubei cement with limestone strategy vision. Hubei Province should accord to the protection principle when exploits mineral resource, and carry out the certain mineral resources reserve when meet the sustainable supply of strategic minerals and bulk advantaged at the same time.Chapter5. Hubei mineral resources zoning and exploration and exploitation base contribution. Hubei mineral resources planning zone is the region that optimize mining right layout, reasonable regulate the total mineral resources development; undertake mineral exploration and development function. Mineral resources planning zone includes key planning zone, prohibited planning zone, restricted planning zone and general planning zone, and each planning zone includes exploration and development zone. In order to complete standardization of mineral resources planning zone need to be considered the minerals exploration, the development policy, the regulatory policy of total quantity minerals, the mining right access policy and the minimum scale mining policy and other aspects. Mineral resources exploitation and development base has taken the primary responsibility for exploration and exploitation in Hubei. Hubei mineral resource continuum is the key body to protect the stability of mineral resources exploitation scale in recently. Hubei province can create13mineral resource exploration bases,13mineral resources exploitation bases and25mineral resource continuums. The access system of each of the mining exploration or development zone is the regime criteria of mining investment. Hubei Province should adopt multi-sectoral coordinating measures, optimize the mining layout, and strengthen mine ecological environment protection, increased mineral exploration and other ways for key projects to promote sustainable development of mineral resources planning zone.Chapter6. Mining industry economics division and measures to promote mining economic development in Hubei Province. Mining economic zone, that is to say, mineral resource exploitation is relatively close to regional industry development and mining economy has the higher degree of economic contribution to industrial economy in resource-rich regions. Mining economic zone established is favour of improving mineral resource use efficiency and optimizing structure of mineral resource exploitation and utilization. Mining economic zone in Hubei including national level mining economic zones and provincial level economic zones, national level mining industry economic zone in Hubei province including Yichang phosphate mining economic zone, Yunmeng-Yingcheng saltpetre mining economic zone and Ezhou-Huangshi iron-copper-gold mining economic zone. Hubei provincial mining economic zone can take mine size, concentration degree of mineral resources and mining economic contribution as the evaluated indicators, and take the state of medium-sized mining to determine the mining economic zone. According to the evaluation result of13level cities,3provincial governing counties and1forest and medium-sized mining economic analysis, we can see that, Hubei provincial mining economic zone including Huangshi copper-iron-gold-building Materials Mining Economic Zone, Ezhou Iron-building Materials Mining economic Zone, Huanggang building materials mining economic zone, Yichang phosphate-building Materials Mining economic Zone, Xiaogan salt-building Materials Mining economic zones and Shennongjia phosphate mining economic zone etc. Hubei province should focus on those6mining economics zones and promote the mineral resource exploitation and mining economic development. Meanwhile, it should strengthen the mining economic development, such as Xiangyang city, Jingmen City, Qianjiang City, Enshi City, Xianning City, Wuhan City and other zones. In addition, Hubei province should improve mining economic efficiency and improve the investment environment and public works construction for promoting the development of mining economyChapter7Overall conclusions and research outlook.Innovations of this research includes three aspects:(1) It built a multi-level framework for mineral resource economics division which includes strategic zones of mineral resources, planning zone of mineral resources and mining economic zone. The framework has good compatibility, reasonable technical specifications, so it has the higher practical value, which not only enriched mineral resources economic division theory in the process of mineral resource regionalization and standardized mineral resource economic division system, but also provided theoretical and empirical support for development and utilization of mineral resources and administration and management of governments.(2) It proposed the concept of mineral resources strategic zone and thinking of mineral resources strategic zone division.Hubei strategic zone of mineral resources is a mineral enrichment region which is based on safeguarding national strategic minerals’security and sustainable supply of bulk advantaged mineral, and with rich reserves of strategic minerals, closely linked to the industrial economy and as the higher industrial value for the objects. Mineral resources strategy is divided into national level and provincial-level, that is, national strategy based mineral resources strategy zone and provincial advantaged based mineral resources strategy zone.(3) It expanded the level of mining economic zones and proposed the division methods of mining economic zone.It expanded the mining economic zone from the National Mining Economic Zone to4 levels that includes national mining economic zones, provincial mining economic zones, municipal mining economic zones and country and district level mining economic zones. Mining economic zone, that is, mineral resource exploitation is relatively close to regional industry development and mining economy has the higher degree of economic contribution to industrial economy in resource-rich regions. National mining economic zone is based on large-scale mineralize with good conditions; great infrastructure facilities, relatively concentrated zone for development and utilization. As for provincial and municipal and county level, it is evaluated mainly from the boundaries of administrative region, concentration degree of mineral resources, mining scale and the contribution to industry, and according to the evaluated superior data from medium-sized mine to divide the mining economic zones, and also according to the development status of medium-sized mine, adopt targeted measures to promote mining economic development in regions targeted measures. |
