Study On Motive Force Of Development And Evaluation System For Enviromental Protection Industrial Agglomeration

Practical experiences of both developed and developing countries showed that,industry agglomeration can strengthen the competition and cooperation betweenenterprises and improve labor productivity. The economies of scale brought byindustry agglomeration can promote industrial progress and economicdevelopment more effectively, what gave a shortcut to the development ofenvironmental protection industry, an industry in the formative stages withstrategically significant in China. The Chinese government has already take theenvironmental protection industrial agglomeration as the main strategy toaccelerated environmental protection industrial progress.Firstly, using the method of theoretical analysis, the mechanism of industrialagglomeration was redefined according to the research of domestic and foreignindustry agglomeration theory. Economies of scale, geographic advantages, groupassociation and cooperation, competition and innovation constitute the mechanismof industrial agglomeration. The main factors affecting industrial agglomerationare consist of natural resources, history cultural elements, transportation,infrastructure, knowledge, labor markets, policies, innovation, competition andcooperation. Based on the characteristics of environmental protection industry,first proposed that the causes and main driving force of environmental protectionindustry agglomeration in China conclude the government-dominating,regulation-promoting and geographic advantages.In order to solve the lack of effective evaluation system, key elements ofenvironmental protection industry agglomeration were confirmed according to theformer research firstly, which were made up of four top-level indicators containeddegree of concentration, industrial scale, capacity development and supply level.Then11second-level indicators and18third-level indicators were selected toconstruct the assessment indicator system. Secondly, by a comparative analysis ofcomprehensive evaluation methods, catastrophe progression method was selectedfor comprehensive evaluation. In accordance with the principle of catastropheprogression, indicators of each subsystem were arranged according to their relativeimportance after what a set of environmental protection industrial agglomerationcomprehensive assessment indicator system based on catastrophe progressionmethod was built up. Thirdly, an empirical research of Yixing ES&TP with datasfrom year2010to2012was launched using the comprehensive assessmentindicator system just established. Results showed that the environmentalprotection industrial agglomeration of Yixing ES&TP：first, does well on the aspect of the supply level; second, has reached a high level on the aspects ofgovernment investment, facilities, brain gain, talent supply, policy support; third,has witnessed a scale-increasing of the enterprises. However, on the aspects ofhow to：1) promote a rapid and steady growth of agglomeration profit;2) enhanceproduction capacity;3) enhance the degree and increase the scale of agglomeration,still need the competent organization to pay more attention. Finally, by case studyof HIT Yixing Academy of Environmental Protection(HY),the linkages betweenthe establishment of HY and the continuous enhancement of the environmentalprotection industrial agglomeration of Yixing ES&TP in recent years wereexplored. What’s more,"HY" mode, which connotes"government-industry-university-research-application", was deeply revealed andinterpreted. Analysis results showed that,"HY" mode can not only promote theenvironmental protection industrial agglomeration, but also upgrades the level ofenvironmental protection enterprises and has certain demonstration effect andsignificance of generalization.
