Research On The Evaluation System Of Chinese Lead-Zinc Industry Layout

With the increasing speed of industrialization and urbanization, therelationship between resource’s supply and demand is becoming more and moreserious in China. Lead-zinc industry, as one of the most important industries in ourcountry, faces various crises during the process of development. And it is provedthat the current layout of lead-zinc industry, which is not well-balanced, plays avital role in shaping the situation that china’s lead-zinc industry doesn’t have anycompetitive advantages when compared with some developed countries. So, basedon the national policies and the present layout of lead-zinc industry in China, thisthesis is committed to provide a solution for the problem.Lead-zinc industry layout is a matter of multi-factor and multi-layered system.This thesis extracts five common factors influencing the layout of lead-zincindustry fundamentally after summarizing the rules and current situation oflead-zinc layout. They are nature factor, transportation, market, local economy andlocal environment. According to the five factors, an evaluation index system isbuilt. This thesis offers twelve target cities for evaluation by using qualitativeanalysis to make the result more precise and concrete. And then the principalcomponent analysis is used to process data. At last, the evaluation result shows thatKunming, Shaoguan, and Shenyang are the places suitable to build integratedlead-zinc manufacturing base.As a whole, China’s lead-zinc industry layout depends on the market, localenvironment, and resource mainly. The areas with sufficient resources andadvantaged market environment have the top priority to develop lead-zinc industry.Finally, the optimal combination between industrial development and regionalresource configuration could be realized.
