| Natural resource is the material base of human survival and development. It has played an important role in economic and social development and pushed forward human civilization. In fact, the history of social development is also the history of resource degradation. As the constant advance of industrial process, the shortage of natural resource supplies occurs, ecological environment has been badly polluted and sustainable development is at stake. So, how to improve the way and efficiency of natural resource exploitation and utilization, has become the problem that needs urgent solution in economic and social development. Considering the development trend of industrial cluster and demonstration effect of the success, many regions have cultivated natural resource-based cluster, hoping to stimulate the development of natural resource industry or revitalize local economy, but the practice effect has difference. For instance, via creating wood industrial cluster in Jiashan, pearl industrial cluster in Zhuji, and hardware industrial cluster in Yongkang, Zhejiang province, these regions have become the successful models of resource-based industrial cluster. Through giving support to key industrial gathering zones, Northeast Old Industrial Base tries to go out of the mire of economic recession and achieve economic revitalization, but the result is not so good as they had expected. These phenomena have shown that natural resource-based clusters have their own laws of formation and evolution, we must investigate their developing process with dynamic view, thus making natural resource-based clusters to become the effective industrial form for sustainable development of resource-oriented regions.On the basis of characteristic and current situation of natural resource-based clusters in our country and learning the experience from the foreign ones, we study the dynamic evolution of behavior characteristics and organizational environment of resource-based clusters, and constructs the analytical framework of "behavior characteristics-organizational environment-evolutionary path-empirical test". Combining theoretical analysis with empirical study, the dissertation analyses the evolution of agglomeration, competition and cooperation, and innovation behaviors. It has also discussed the influence of market, institution and ecological environments on natural resource-based cluster. Then, under the change of behavior mechanism and organizational environment, resource-based cluster may have four evolutionary paths:first, achieving transformation and upgrading by innovation. Second, shifting out of the resource-based cluster. Third, becoming enterprise group. Fourth, falling into recession. In the end, taking the evolution of Jingdezhen ceramic cluster for example, an empirical research has been done.Through application of industry economics, resources economics, and evolutionary economics, combining theoretical analysis with empirical research, and comparative analysis, we can draw conclusion as follows:(1) the sustainable development of resource-based cluster is, in the process of dynamic evolution of resource-based cluster, under the influence of behavior mechanism and organizational environment, by means of mining resources rationally, raising utilization efficiency of natural resource, exploiting substitute resources and optimizing organizational structure, to increase its life cycle as far as possible, and develop resource value to the fullest extent, making the scale and performance growth, boosting competitiveness of resource-based industry cluster, and promoting the harmonious development of economy, society and ecology.(2) The adaptive evolutions of its behavior characteristics have happened in the evolution process of natural resource-based industry cluster. The dynamic evolution of its behavior characteristics and interior mechanism, also facilitates the evolution of natural resource-based industry cluster. There are co-evolution between them.(3) Besides the influence of the behavior characteristics and interior mechanism, the evolution is closely related to organizational environment. The market, institution and ecological environment jointly facilitate the evolution of resource-based industrial cluster with behavior mechanism. Under the influence of behavior characteristics and organizational environment transition, the evolution of natural resource-based cluster has happened towards different paths.Under such analysis frame as behavior characteristics-organizational environment-evolutionary path-empirical test, trial theoretical innovations are made in the following two aspects:(1) From the view of dynamic evolution, the sustainable development of resource-based industry cluster has been studied. It makes the sustainable development penetrated in the whole evolution process, extending the research category of sustainable development of industry cluster. By the method of mathematical statistics, the evolution process and influence of behavior characteristics and organizational environment on the natural resource-based cluster are unfolded.(2) Based on the field research, the dissertation reviewed and summarized the evolution process of Jingdezhen ceramic cluster. By adopting econometrics and comparative analysis, taking Jingdezhen ceramic cluster as example, an empirical research has been done. It has studied the influence of behavior characteristics and industrial environment on Jingdezhen ceramic cluster. Through the comparative analysis between Foshan and Jingdezhen ceramic clusters, the research on the evolution of Jingdezhen ceramic cluster has been promoted further. |
