The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)1 for the Heilongjiang Road Network Development Project (the Project), based on the feasibility stage design, was issued by the Heilongjiang Provincial Research Institute of Environmental Sciences in September 2005. The EIA of linking roads in the Project was included. The main highway includes the 2.6 kilometer (km) Songhua River Bridge, for which a separate EIA was conducted, and the EIA report for Songhua River Bridge was issued in December 2005.2 The consultant engaged under the technical assistance (TA)3 reviewed the report and visited locations that might experience environmental impacts in October–November 2005. This summary environmental impact assessment (SEIA) was based on the EIA report, following Asian Development Bank (ADB) policy and guidelines as indicated in the Environmental Policy of the Asian Development Bank (2002) and Environmental Assessment Guidelines (2003). Further information was obtained through meetings with the Executing Agency, Heilongjiang Provincial Communications Department (HPCD), design engineers, and county level local government4 representatives, during site visits. 2. The EIA for all other sections of the Project requires approval from the provincial level environmental authority, but the EIA for the Songhua River Bridge needs to be approved by the State Environmental Protection Administration (SEPA). The EIA for the main highway and linking roads was approved by Heilongjiang Provincial Environmental Bureau in January 2006. The EIA for the Songhua River Bridge was submitted to SEPA in December 2006 and approval is expected in March 2006. 3. The EIA was conducted in accordance with relevant laws, regulations, and standards applicable in the People’s Republic of China (PRC), including in particular (i) Technical Guidelines on Environmental Impact Assessment and Environmental Protection Standards of the PRC (September 1993); and (ii) Standards for Environmental Impact Assessment of Highway Construction Projects, Ministry of Communications (January 1996). II. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT 4. The Project will (i) improve economic efficiency, encourage trade, and facilitate interregional integration by reducing vehicle operating costs and engineering-induced traffic accidents through improved road surfaces; (ii) reduce the Jixi–Nehe journey time by around 8 hours; (iii) spread economic development and social benefits over a wide cross-section of local communities by integrating rural connecting roads into project roads, and facilitating opportunities for cultural exchange; and (iv) catalyze economic growth in Heilongjiang Province which will, in turn, improve poor people’s incomes and well- being. 5. The Project comprises (i) upgrading or constructing six sections of the Jixi-Nehe Highway (the main project road) totaling 413.0 km of class III or unclassified roads to two-lane class I or class II roads with a major new 2.6 km bridge over the Songhua River, two other bridges more than 500 meters (m) long, an 80.8 km section through the Xiaoxing’anling mountains between Tonghe and Tieli counties, and a 23.4 km new alignment between Fangzheng and Tonghe counties; (ii) constructing a toll management center (Tieli), two management offices (Fangzheng and Suiling), and 9 toll stations; (iii) improving 155.0 1 Heilongjiang Provincial Research Institute of Environmental Sciences. 2005.

  • Educated Youth Should Go to the Rural Areas: a Tale of Education, Employment and Social Values*
    Educated Youth Should Go to the Rural Areas: A Tale of Education, Employment and Social Values* Yang You† Harvard University This draft: July 2018 Abstract I use a quasi-random urban-dweller allocation in rural areas during Mao’s Mass Rustication Movement to identify human capital externalities in education, employment, and social values. First, rural residents acquired an additional 0.1-0.2 years of education from a 1% increase in the density of sent-down youth measured by the number of sent-down youth in 1969 over the population size in 1982. Second, as economic outcomes, people educated during the rustication period suffered from less non-agricultural employment in 1990. Conversely, in 2000, they enjoyed increased hiring in all non-agricultural occupations and lower unemployment. Third, sent-down youth changed the social values of rural residents who reported higher levels of trust, enhanced subjective well-being, altered trust from traditional Chinese medicine to Western medicine, and shifted job attitudes from objective cognitive assessments to affective job satisfaction. To explore the mechanism, I document that sent-down youth served as rural teachers with two new county-level datasets.

  • View of Maternal Health in Heilongjiang’S Rural Provinces and Its Implications on Rural Areas in Countries with Low and Middle Income Gross Domestic Products
    Jiang et al. Health and Quality of Life Outcomes (2020) 18:201 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12955-020-01453-6 RESEARCH Open Access Sociodemographic determinants of maternal health service use in rural China: a cross-sectional study Kexin Jiang1,2†, Libo Liang2†, Haifeng Wang3†, Jingqun Li4, Yuze Li5, Mingli Jiao2,6*, Jingfu Mao7* and Qunhong Wu8* Abstract Objective: This study examined the relationship between sociodemographic characteristics and maternal health use from a policy perspective. It aimed to provide an overview of maternal health in Heilongjiang’s rural provinces and its implications on rural areas in countries with low and middle income gross domestic products. Design, setting, and participants: This cross-sectional study used data from the Fifth Health Service Survey of Heilongjiang Province. Participants included 481 mothers who delivered a baby after August 15, 2008. Trained investigators collected data on their family and sociodemographic characteristics, antenatal care, delivery at specialised obstetric institutions (e.g. hospitals, clinics, other medical institutions), and postnatal care services. Results: The number of women with more than five antenatal care visits and the delivery rate at specialised obstetric institutions were high. Approximately 50% of the participants had three or more postnatal care visits. Maternal healthcare use among women less than 20 years old and those with natural deliveries were higher. There were fewer antenatal care visits among women who had been pregnant once or twice before. Conclusions: Delivery rates at specialised obstetric institutions and the number of antenatal care visits were higher than the World Health Organization requirements, while the frequency of postnatal care visits were better than most countries.

The region is the grain production and ecological security base of China where the fertile and productive Mollisols are distributed. Though the region was agriculturally developed relatively recently, it went through high intensity cultivation and fast succession processes within short-time scales. Coupled with irrational farming practice choice and land use, hillslope erosion and gully erosion are seriously threatening agricultural production and environmental stability in the region. The awareness of gully erosion by the local governments started in the 1970s, and conservation measures were thus implemented. In this paper, based on our survey, communications with local farmers and stakeholders as well as investigation for gully erosion for the past three years, we summarize the practical and efficient practices to manage gully erosion developed by researchers and farmers in Northeast China during the past 50 years. These practices include various drop structures, soil check dams, masonry check dams, gabion check dams, wicker check dams, continuous live wicker, a shrub plant enclosure, and an arbor plant enclosure.

In this study, the spatial and temporal trends of ET0 in China’s most northern province as well as the country’s largest agricultural region were analyzed for the period from 1964 to 2013. ET0 was calculated with the Penman-Monteith of Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations irrigation and drainage paper NO.56 (FAO-56) using climatic data collected from 27 stations. Inverse distance weighting (IDW) was used for the spatial interpolation of the estimated ET0. A Modified Mann–Kendall test (MMK) was applied to test the spatiotemporal trends of ET0, while Pearson’s correlation coefficient and cross-wavelet analysis were employed to assess the factors affecting the spatiotemporal variability at different elevations.

  • Vegetation Changes and the Relationship with Climate Variability in the Upper and Middle Reaches of the Nenjiang River Basin, China
    The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, Volume XLI-B8, 2016 XXIII ISPRS Congress, 12–19 July 2016, Prague, Czech Republic VEGETATION CHANGES AND THE RELATIONSHIP WITH CLIMATE VARIABILITY IN THE UPPER AND MIDDLE REACHES OF THE NENJIANG RIVER BASIN, CHINA F. Huang a,*, D.H. Wenb, P. Wang a a School of Geographical Sciences, Northeast Normal University, Renmin Street, Changchun, China- [email protected], [email protected] b Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics, Chinese Academy of Science, Dong Nanhu Road, Changchun, China- [email protected] Commission VIII, WG VIII/8 KEY WORDS: Vegetation Dynamics, NDVI, Climate Variability, Correlation Analysis, Rescaled Range Analysis, SPOT VEGETATION, the Upper and Middle Reaches of the Nenjiang River ABSTRACT: To detect changes in vegetation is desirable for modeling and predicting interactions between land surface and atmosphere. Multi- temporal series of SPOT VEGETATION NDVI dataset and meteorological data were integrated to interpret vegetation dynamics and the linkage with climate variations in the upper and middle reaches of the Nenjiang River Basin (NRB) from 1999 to 2010 using the correlation analysis and the rescaled range (R/S) analysis. The results demonstrate that annual NDVI increased slightly and 26.02% vegetation coverage of the study area significantly improved. The area of significantly decreased in vegetation cover took up 13.33% of the total land in spring. In autumn, 26.2% of the study area showed a significant vegetation increase. The improved activity of vegetation might reinforce in summer and autumn, while the decreasing tendency in spring might be persistent in the future.
