An Analysis On The Evaluation Of Spatial Equilibrium Allocation Of Industrial Exhaust Emissions In Major Cities In China

It is well known that energy resources, which provide for human survival and development in the material condition of life, not only influence the safety development of a country, but are closely bound up with well-beings of the broad masses. Nowadays, our economy is undergoing high-speed development, so abundant energy resources can effectively guarantee the steady and rapid growth of industry economy. Even though energy resources pay an essential role in driving economic and social development of a country, yet, their sustainable development will be of a slowdown and ecological environment will also be severely destroyed if our economy development is too reliant on non-renewable energy resources and their excessive consumptions. In light of the current situations that urban industry consuming too much energy and discharging huge pollutants, the government provides a great deal of principles for pollutant emissions in order to efficiently keep the total emissions of pollutants under control. Unfortunately, it is difficult for these policies and measures to implement, because we haven't deal with the equal right allocation of allowable emissions reasonably. For a long time almost studies on this problem concentrate on qualitative analysis while a relatively accurate quantitative analysis remains absent. In order to overcome this drawback, this paper surveys the equity of allowable emission allocation with quantitative analysis from the perspective of environmental carrying capacity, namely using resource-environment Gini coefficient and Lorenz curve to quantitatively evaluate the fairness of allowable emission allocation.In this paper we choose110major cities all round the country and analyze their industrial exhaust emission indices. Then by taking exhaust emission from fuel combustion of every city in2008as assessment index and the "green land area" as characterization index of ecological capacity, we figure out the resource-environment Gini coefficient and green burden coefficient. Making use of these two coefficients, we evaluate the spatial equilibrium allocation of industrial exhaust emission of these110cities. The results show that the Gini coefficient of exhaust emission from fuel combustion in2008of these110cities is0.62, indicating that there are significant differences on the allocation of the resource-environment capacity among most cities round the country and further revealing that this kind of allocation is under the condition of highly disproportion. After analyzing the results, we summarize the current situations of proportionality of exhaust emission and the problems it faces. In addition, we propose some specific solutions to those problems, which can promote the fair allocation of allowable emission of pollutants and make it put into effect smoothly. Further more, these solutions provide an important reference for government to allocate the total emissions of major pollutants and a theoretical basis for the proportionality of cities' industrial exhaust emission.
