Research On The Optimization Of Government Functions In The Transformation Of Mature Resource Cities

As the core force of national energy security,mature resource city develops steady and has large scale of resource industry.However,resource depletion and urban decline are hidden crises despite the strong resource support capacity of mature resource cities.Many empirical studies have shown that it is most suitable for mature resource cities to transform.Because many mature resource cities have a high level of social development,and the capital and personnel of them are relatively sufficient,which are suitable for transformation;In addition,the exploitation of resources for many years has caused many problems,such as single industrial structure,unordered exploitation of resources and serious ecological damage and so on.Therefore,the best way of development is to transform.Based on the deficiency of the market mechanism and the authority of the government,the government should participate in the transformation proactively.Only when the government fully performs its functions,the successful transformation and sustainable development of mature resource cities have come true.But in the mature resource city transformation process,the government functions inevitably produce problems in the realization.This paper meanly studies what kind of problems will result from the implementation of government functions in the transformation of mature resource cities.According to the problems,we could put forward the corresponding measures for the optimization of government functions,and promote the transformation of mature resource city smoothly.Starting with the concept and content of mature resource city and government function,and by using relevant theories as support,this paper takes Jixi City as an example to explore the existing problems of government function in the transformation of mature resource cities.With the lessons from the domestic and foreign relevant experience,we can put forward some proposed measures to optimize the government function in the transformation of mature resource cities.In addition to the introduction,this paper is divided into five parts.The first part introduces the concept of resource-based city,the mature resource city and the government function.and the theoretical basis of this paper is the new public service theory,the theory of sustainable development and the resource-based city life cycle theory.The second part introduces the background and necessity of the transformation of the mature resource city,and meanly tells the development of the mature resource city and existing problems.The third part introduces the basic situation of the transformation of Jixi City,and meanly studies the existing problems of the government functions in the transformation of Jixi City.The fourth part has sorted out the good transformation experience of resource-based cities at home and abroad.Taking Jiaozuo of Henan,Karamay of Xinjiang,Ruhr of Germany and Kitakyushu of Japan as examples,this part presents how the government should perform its functions in the transition of mature resource cities.According to the problems existing in the government function and the experience at home and abroad,the fifth part puts forward some suggestions and measures for the optimization of government functions in the process of transition of mature resource cities,including establishing the concept of transformation,promoting industrial transformation and upgrading,introducing science and technology and talents,strengthening the construction of the people's livelihood,implementing the mechanism of ecological protection of mines and harnessing the ecological environment and so on.
