Study On Coordination Between Water Resources And Socio-economy Central China

In this paper, based on the theories related to coordination between resource andsocio-economy, and the major data resources on water resource, demography,economy, society of Central China from2003to2010, the author builds acomprehensive evaluation model of coordination between water resource andsocio-economy of Central China. By using principal component analysis, she ranks allof the coordination degree, and gave discussion with suggestions.In the part of Introduction, dealing with the topics of background, the theoreticaland practical significance, the writer reviews the related research results both fromdomestic and abroad, and expounds on the ideas with methods of these researches.The second chapter of paper discusses the related conceptions and theoreticalbasis of the research. Firstly, the article introduces the concept of water resource andits characteristics. Then, the author writes about the theory of sustainabledevelopment and environmental Kuznets curve. Thirdly, the paper summarizes typicalmethods and perspectives of study on this field before.Chapter3analyzes the situation of Central China’s water resources and itssocio-economy development. Apart from that, this paragraph discusses the interactionbetween water resources and socio-economy of Central China.Chapter5gives a ranking of coordination between water resource andsocio-economy of Hubei, Hunan, Shanxi, Henan, Anhui and Jiangxi from2003to2010. This is a result of the principal component analysis. By comparisons of differentregions and years, the article gives an evaluation of every single province. Also, itgives an explanation to each component.Based on the previous study, the last chapter comes to the conclusion. It alsoprovides some discussions and suggestions.The study reaches the following conclusions:Contrast from the sub-regional perspective, Hubei’s water resources and socio-economy coordination degree has a huge advance over other provinces. It ranksat the top of the six regions in eight consecutive years. Henan lists the bottom for8years. The rest four provinces’ ranking slightly changes in each of the years. Hunan,Shanxi usually place at the second and the third place. Jiangxi and Anhui are mostlyin the forth and the fifth place. Most rankings show consistency with regional waterrecourse gross.Watching the evolution of time series, the coordination degree of every singleprovince shows an increasing trend of growth. By linear regression, the author findsthat the upward slope of the central region as a whole is about0.54. Sub-provincesituation is that Hubei’s degree is always higher than the average of the six provinces.That of Henan lies significantly behind the other provinces. Coordination curves ofthe four provinces of Hunan, Shanxi, Jiangxi and Anhui gathers in the central regionaround the curve without significant difference.Now we discuss the result from the sub-principal components’ aspect. For theurban and economic development indicators, namely F1, the trend is very similar tothat of coordination degree. It shows a rising trend year by year, and the overallupward trend is based on the continuous progress of urbanization. Water useefficiency indicators, namely F2, has little change over time. However, the regionaldifferences of F2is significant. It ranks as the order of Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan, Anhui,Shanxi and Henan. The curves of Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan fall down slightly over time,showing a decreasing trend, while those of Anhui, Shanxi and Henan show a slightupward trend over time. Industrialization level indicator, namely F3, shows anobvious characteristics of regional differences. Hunan, Henan rank ahead, followed byHubei, Anhui, Jiangxi and Shanxi. And this indicator reflects the level of industrialdevelopment of each province.
