Monitoring and reporting were required and defined in the Project Agreement, PAM and EMP. So far, only one environmental monitoring report (EMR) covering January- June 2014 was submitted and disclosed on the ADB project website in January 2015. However, the EMRs thereafter were missing. This is the second semi-annual environmental monitoring report for the Ningxia Irrigated Agriculture and Water Conservation Demonstration Project (the Project or this Project) for the period as of 31 December 2018. It is prepared by the PMO with the assistance of the independent loan implementation environmental consultant (LIEC). The LIEC has been providing project implementation consulting services to the PMO. The PMO resumes the reporting and submits this safeguard report at end of January 2019. Future EMRs will be submitted to ADB semiannually until project completion. 2. This report describes the activities undertaken in the period as of 31 December 2018 with respect to the implementation of the environmental management plan (EMP) of the Project components. This report mainly contains the following activities and topics: (i) the environmental institutional strengthening and capacity building; (ii) mitigation measures undertaken to minimize adverse environmental impacts arising from the construction of the Project facilities; (iii) EMP implementation monitoring activities conducted and monitoring results analysis; (iv) public consultation activities; and (v) conclusions and suggestions. Description of the Project 3. ADB approved a loan of $70.0 million for Ningxia Irrigated Agriculture and Water Conservation Demonstration Project on 14 December 2012. The loan was signed on 7 May 2013 and became effective on 27 June 2013. The project improve the value of horticultural crops by planting high-value and high-quality varieties, constructing water conservation infrastructure, promoting sustainable farming practices, and developing institutional capacity. 4. The project’s impact will be improved sustainability of agricultural production in Ningxia. The outcome will be increased quality and value of horticultural crops in Ningxia. The project have four outputs: (i) improved irrigation systems, (ii) improved agriculture farms, (iii) increased grape processing capacity, and (iv) strengthened institutional and farmer capacity. Originally, the project is being implemented over a five-year period with the physical completion of the project by 30 June 2018 (original completion date at appraisal). ADB approved a scope change in December 2017 as per the government request. With the scope change, the loan closing date is extended from 31 December 2018 to 30 June 2020. 5. Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region Government is the executing agency acting through Ningxia Finance Department (NFD). The project implementing offices (PIOs) include Ningxia Agriculture Reclamation Group Cooperation (NARG) Limited, Tongxin County Government (TCG), Hongsipu District Government, and Yinchuan Municipality Government (YMG). A project management office (PMO) hosted by Yinchuan Finance Bureau coordinates day-to-day administrative matters on behalf of NFD.

  • Spatial Heterogeneous of Ecological Vulnerability in Arid and Semi-Arid Area: a Case of the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, China
    sustainability Article Spatial Heterogeneous of Ecological Vulnerability in Arid and Semi-Arid Area: A Case of the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, China Rong Li 1, Rui Han 1, Qianru Yu 1, Shuang Qi 2 and Luo Guo 1,* 1 College of the Life and Environmental Science, Minzu University of China, Beijing 100081, China; [email protected] (R.L.); [email protected] (R.H.); [email protected] (Q.Y.) 2 Department of Geography, National University of Singapore; Singapore 117570, Singapore; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 25 April 2020; Accepted: 26 May 2020; Published: 28 May 2020 Abstract: Ecological vulnerability, as an important evaluation method reflecting regional ecological status and the degree of stability, is the key content in global change and sustainable development. Most studies mainly focus on changes of ecological vulnerability concerning the temporal trend, but rarely take arid and semi-arid areas into consideration to explore the spatial heterogeneity of the ecological vulnerability index (EVI) there. In this study, we selected the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region on the Loess Plateau of China, a typical arid and semi-arid area, as a case to investigate the spatial heterogeneity of the EVI every five years, from 1990 to 2015. Based on remote sensing data, meteorological data, and economic statistical data, this study first evaluated the temporal-spatial change of ecological vulnerability in the study area by Geo-information Tupu. Further, we explored the spatial heterogeneity of the ecological vulnerability using Getis-Ord Gi*. Results show that: (1) the regions with high ecological vulnerability are mainly concentrated in the north of the study area, which has high levels of economic growth, while the regions with low ecological vulnerability are mainly distributed in the relatively poor regions in the south of the study area.

  • The Opposition of a Leading Akhund to Shi'a and Sufi
    The Opposition of a Leading Akhund to Shi’a and Sufi Shaykhs in Mid-Nineteenth- Century China Wang Jianping, Shanghai Normal University Abstract This article traces the activities of Ma Dexin, a preeminent Hui Muslim scholar and grand imam (akhund) who played a leading role in the Muslim uprising in Yunnan (1856–1873). Ma harshly criticized Shi’ism and its followers, the shaykhs, in the Sufi orders in China. The intolerance of orthodox Sunnis toward Shi’ism can be explained in part by the marginalization of Hui Muslims in China and their attempts to unite and defend themselves in a society dominated by Han Chinese. An analysis of the Sunni opposition to Shi’ism that was led by Akhund Ma Dexin and the Shi’a sect’s influence among the Sufis in China help us understand the ways in which global debates in Islam were articulated on Chinese soil. Keywords: Ma Dexin, Shi’a, shaykh, Chinese Islam, Hui Muslims Most of the more than twenty-three million Muslims in China are Sunnis who follow Hanafi jurisprudence when applying Islamic law (shariʿa). Presently, only a very small percentage (less than 1 percent) of Chinese Muslims are Shi’a.1 The historian Raphael Israeli explicitly analyzes the profound impact of Persian Shi’ism on the Sufi orders in China based on the historical development and doctrinal teachings of Chinese Muslims (2002, 147–167). The question of Shi’a influence explored in this article concerns why Ma Dexin, a preeminent Chinese Muslim scholar, a great imam, and one of the key leaders of the Muslim uprising in the nineteenth century, so harshly criticized Shi’ism and its accomplices, the shaykhs, in certain Sufi orders in China, even though Shi’a Islam was nearly invisible at that time.

Received: 11 June 2019; Accepted: 13 July 2019; Published: 14 July 2019 Abstract: Agricultural water and land resources are key elements of human production and their unbalanced distribution has threatened the sustainable development of agriculture and regional food security. This study is aiming to investigate the spatial–temporal changes of matching characteristics between agricultural water and land resources in Ningxia during 2007 to 2017. The agricultural irrigation water (AIW), farmland area (FA) and effective irrigated area (EIA) were selected as quantity parameters for agricultural water and land resource. Results show that the gravity centers of AIW and EIA both moved in the southeast direction, while the gravity center of FA moved northwestward, which indicated a better spatial matching degree between AIW and EIA. According to the Gini coefficient and total spatial mismatch index, the spatial mismatch between AIW and FA of Ningxia was remedied and that of AIW and EIA was worse.
