Eco-industrial Development. Poyang Lake Ecological Economic Zone

With the sustainable and fast development of Chinese economy andindustrialization, a throng of environmental problems are becomingprogressively worse. The new model of economy development which givesequal consideration to both economy development and environmentalprotection is given increasingly concern while the traditional model ismore frequently questioned and reassessed by scholars. The Eco-economic(Ecological economic) and the construction of Eco-economic regions isgradually concerned&researched under the background. Poyang Lake is ofvital importance to Jiangxi and even to China in ecological functions as itis the largest freshwater lake in China. It marks the Poyang LakeEco-economic region was officially become a national-strategy with theapproval of Poyang Lake ecological economic region planning by the StateCouncil in December2009. In the era of scientific&low-carbon economicdevelopment, the construction of Poyang Lake Eco-economic region isEntailed the history responsibility of exploring new development model forJiangxi and Seeking new way for economic development&environmentprotection in Poyang Lake region. The development of ecologicalindustries and the ecologically transformation of traditional industries areboth the significant contents in eco-economic development. Accordingly,booming of ecological industries and eco-economic should be taken intoconsiderable account for Poyang Lake eco-economic region.A peck of related issues were studded In this paper. Firstly, theexperiences of developing the eco-economic region and eco-economicindustries in some typical countries and regions were summarized on thebasis of explanation of some interrelated conceptions and theories.Secondly, the present state&problems of eco-industries in Poyang lakewere analyzed and the experiences in three typical eco-industriesdevelopment areas in Poyang lake region were intensively studied. Thirdly,the state&interrelationship of ecological development of industries andregional economics were evaluated with the modified appraisal model.Moreover, a development strategy for three industries was suggested on thebasis of the researching work above. Finally, some policy proposals forfurther development of ecological industries in Poyang lake region were suggested.The main conclusions in the paper are summarized as: Firstly, theoverall degree of coupling between industry ecological tendency andregional economy development is low though it was improving graduallythese years. Secondly, different industries are endowed with differentmodel adaptability when it comes to ecological industry developmentexperiences. For ecological agriculture, it was advised that popularizingthe Pig-Methane-Fruit model of Gannan all across Poyang Lake District ismeaningful. For ecological industry, switching to a cyclic economy andconstructing eco-industrial parks is a possible way to ecological industrydevelopment. For ecological service industry, as the industry infrastructureis weak, the ecological service industry needs to fit into a accurate industrypositioning for the well development.The coordinated and balanced development of ecological environmentand economics are increasingly become a common view all across theworld in the low-carbon and green economic era. To protect theenvironment while pursuing a sustainable development model in process ofindustrialization is key task nowadays. To probe into the issue from aregional perspective and to investigate the inner-dynamic of eco-economicdevelopment from a industrial view, the research is expected to bringforward some valuable viewpoints for the construction of Poyang lakeeco-economic region.Two aspects were innovated in this paper. The first innovation is in theselection of the subject. The eco-economic and the eco-industriesdevelopment state in a certain region were comprehensively andsystematically analyzed in this paper, which in other researches were notdiscovered yet. The development state of eco-industries and eco-economicin Poyang lake were qualitatively&quantitatively studied in this paper.The second innovation is the techniques for analyzing. The CoupledEvaluation Model for regional economic development and industryecological tendency is modified and used in this paper for a more accurateand objective analysis in Poyang lake eco-economic region.
