The Ecological Planning and Practice of Bijie Experimental Area The Ecological Planning and Practice of Bijie Experimental Area Rupei Qin School of Civil Engineering and Mechanics, Huazhong University of Science and Technology e-mail: [email protected] Hang Zhang School of Civil Engineering and Mechanics, Huazhong University of Science and Technology e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The rural ecological environment is an important condition for the development of the rural area, agriculture and peasants. Especially in the poor karst mountainous areas in Western China, a good ecological planning is particularly important. The paper analyses the resources, environment, population problems that Bijie experimental area faced 20 years ago.Then we put forward the scheme of regional ecological planning and analyses the results of planning practice. KEYWORDS: Ecological planning; Bijie test area; complex ecosystem; three themes; INTRODUCTION Ecological construction planning is a regional development planning approach which use ecological principles to evaluate, plan and coordinate the relationship between human and the development, utilization and transformation of natural resources comprehensively and long-term, to improve the efficiency of ecological and economic and to promote sustainable development of social and economic. Its essence is to recognize systematically and to re-arrange the relationship between people and their environment which is a "Social - Economic - Nature" complex ecosystem planning[1, 2]. Despite the ecological planning started late in China, it draws the new achievements of modern ecology when it started, and it combined with our region, especially combined with the development of urban and rural, environmental issues and sustainable development theme and gradually formed its own characteristics, it has reached the international advanced level in some respects[1]. Ma Shijun and Wang Rusong proposed complex ecosystem theory in 1984, they considered that urban and rural where the main body is human activity actually are three sub- systems which combined with social, economic and natural, the three sub-systems put human activity as the link and form a mutual-role and constrained complex ecosystems[3, 4]; In 1988, Wang Rusong proposed to create the ecological principle of ecological city in "efficient and harmonious - urban ecological regulation principles and methods", emphasized that the urban ecological planning should be ecological balance which can achieve the ecosystem and an - 677 - Vol. 19 [2014], Bund. C 678 ecological planning approach which can regulate the relationship between people and the environment[3]. Huang Guangyu and Chen Yong made a number of ecological theories and practices about ecological planning and the establishment of ecological city through the case study of Guangzhou and other cities[5, 6]. In 1998, Shen Qingji of Tongji University proposed more systematic and comprehensive exposition about urban ecological planning and construction in the "Urban Ecology and Environment"[7]. In 2000, Wang Xiangrong considered ecological planning should put ecological principles and the principles of urban planning as a guide to explore the improvement of relationship between people and environment in book "Ecology and Environment"[8].Corresponding ecological city planning or urban ecological construction practice has Yichun, Zhangjiagang, Yangzhou, Rizhao, Chongming Island, Xiangfan, Maanshan, Siping, Wenzhou, Shiyan and other places[1]. This paper is based on ecological planning which the above-mentioned previous did, put "social - economic - Nature" complex ecosystem perspective as the theoretical background, this paper analyzed the problems of resources, environment and population which Bijie Experimental Area faced more than 20 years ago from three aspects: economy, nature and society. Putting "exploitation alleviate poverty, ecological construction, population control" as three main themes, which targeted propose the regional ecological construction planning, and analyzed the results of planning practice. GENERAL SITUATION AND THE BACKGROUND OF ECOLOGICAL PLANNING OF BIJIE EXPERIMENTAL AREA The general situation of Bijie experimental area Bijie area is located in the northwest of Guizhou province in our country.Sichuan Province is to the west of Bijie area and Yunnan Province is north to west of Bijie area.It is between 105.36 east longitude to 106.43 east longitude and 26.21 north latitude to 27.47 north latitude.There are Bijie, Qianxi, Zhijin, generous, Jinsha, Nayong, Weining, Hezhang other 8 counties (City), 250 townships (towns, offices), 4507 administrative villages, the land area of 26853 square kilometers under its jurisdiction The territory inhabited by the Han, Yi, Miao, Buyi, Hui and other 35 ethnic groups, ethnic minority population accounts for 26.63% of the total population. Bijie test area is located in the east of Guizhou Plateau to the transition of the original mountain ridge area.The territory has high mountains and steep slope, deep valleys.It has a 2443 meters relative elevation , carbonate rocks forming clouds and it is a typical karst mountain area. Before the establishment of Experimental Zone, This region is characterized by high mountains and steep, land fragmentation, sparse vegetation, bare rock, deep valleys, backward economic, poor people, worse ecology, overpopulation, and set "old", "little", "edge", "poor "" karst "as a whole, it is the most typical karst mountainous alpine area. Three contradictions that is economic poverty, ecological degradation, population expansion interweave, which made Bijie deep into vicious circle of"the more born the more cultivated, the more cultivated the more poorer, the more poorer the more born"and difficult to extricate themselves. The background of Bijie ecological planning The economic reasons of poor Bijie are unreasonable industrial structure. Bijie which is not on the boundary of our country, has no river and coast, is a typical inland areas with poor Vol. 19 [2014], Bund. C 679 infrastructure, poor transportation and lack of information. Although rich in resources, its industrial structure is irrational (In1987, Bijie industrial structure shown in Figure 1) and productivity is very backward, it has almost no industry and in a self-sufficient state. In 1987, Bijie, only more than 180 kg of grain per capita, per rural capita net income is only 184 yuan, eight counties in five are state-level poor counties, 55% of the population is living in poverty. The area natural reasons of poor Bijie are karst.Bijie located in upstream of the Yangtze River and the Pearl River, is a typical karst(Karst areas is characterized by funnel, rocks everywhere, barren soil, sparse vegetation on the ground; and cave, river stretches under the ground, its production and living conditions are extremely poor, United Nations’ relevant organizations have been identified karst as "unfit for human living areas"). As karst hilly plateau, it is characterized by mountains and less land, fragmental land , barren soil, grave rocky, and because of population growth, in order to fill the stomach, people land on reclamation, develope mountain for food, which causing heavy soil erosion, before 1987, the region's forest coverage rate is only 14.94%, grassy lawn decreased by 33.94%, agricultural reclamation rate increased from 30% to 46.4% and more than 62% of the land area is the area of soil erosion. This "reverse development" of ecological resources, not only caused serious soil erosion and ecological deterioration, but also exacerbate the level of poverty and hinder the development of test area seriously. The social reasons of poor Bijie are population explosion and low quality.Bijie is ghettos which is traditional agriculture-based, the traditional fertility concept of raising children for pension and procreation is deeply entrenched, family planning work become very difficult. The phenomenon of multiple births are universal, which forming a vicious circle of "the poorer the more children, the more children lead poorer". In 1987, the population of per square kilometer is 207, which is far higher than the national average. Total population of 5.76 million, compared with 2.11 million in 1949 increased by 1.65 times and the natural population growth rate is 19.5%. Illiteracy of young adults up to 950, 000, only 10 graduates in per million. And under the poor and backward economy condition , culturing human can not arise. The major problems of experiment zone is improving the cultural quality of the population, strengthening the development of human resource, consolidating the results of basic education, vigorously developing vocational education and adult education and improving the quality of compulsory education in rural. THE THEORETICAL BASIS OF ECOLOGICAL PLANNING The theory of sustainable development “Our Common Future” which was published by The World Commission Environment And Development in 1987 defined “sustainable development” as: “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.” The definitions reflects the following principles: 1) the principle of fairness, including intergenerational equity, intergenerational equity and fair allocation of limited resources; 2) sustainable principle, namely, the economic and social development of mankind can not go beyond the carrying capacity of resources and environment; 3) the common principle, means the whole earth and interdependence, the sustainable development of a country could not independently

The Upper Permian Wujiaping Stage in the Middle and Upper Yangtze Region is mainly composed of carbonate rocks and clastic rocks, with lesser amounts of siliceous rocks, pyroclastic rocks, volcanic rocks and coal. The rocks can be divided into three types, including clastic rock, clastic rock-limestone and lime- stone-siliceous rock, and four fundamental ecological types and four fossil assemblages are recognized in the Wujiaping Stage. Based on a petrological and palaeoecological study, six single factors were selected, namely, thickness (m), content (%) of marine rocks, content (%) of shallow water carbonate rocks, content (%) of biograins with limemud, content (%) of thin- bedded siliceous rocks and content (%) of deep water sedimentary rocks. Six single factors maps of the Wujiaping Stage and one lithofacies palaeogeography map of the Wujiaping Age were composed. Palaeogeographic units from west to east include an eroded area, an alluvial plain, a clastic rock platform, a carbonate rock platform where biocrowds developed, a slope and a basin. In addition, a clastic rock platform exists in the southeast of the study area. Hydro- carbon source rock and reservoir conditions were preliminarily analyzed based on lithofacies palaeogeography.

  • My Visits to the Hmong in the Triangle of Guizhou, Sichuan and Yunnan
    A Hmong Scholar’s Visit to China: the Hmong in the Triangle of Guizhou, Sichuan and Yunnan by Kou Yang Nyob luag ntuj yoog luag txuj, nyob luag av yoog luag tsav (‘In Rome be like the Romans’--- Hmong proverb) I have made a few visits to the Hmong of the triangle of Guizhou, Sichuan and Yunnan, and will highlight below two of these visits: the visit in August 2009 to the Hmong of Qianxi (黔西),and my 2014 visit to the Hmong of Xingwen, Gong xian, Junlian, Gulin, Xuyong, Yanjin, Yiliang and Zhaotong. In early August 2009, I led a group of international scholars of Hmong studies to do a post conference visit to the Hmong/Miao in Guizhou Province, China. This visit was under the auspices and sponsorship of the Guizhou Miao Studies Association (also known as the Miao Cultural Development Association), and the guidance of its Vice-President, Professor Zhang Xiao. The group visited both Qiandongnan (Southeast Guizhou) and Qianxi (West Guizhou) Hmong/Miao of Guizou. The visit was my third trip to Qiandongnan, so it was not so special because I had previously written about and travelled to many areas within Qiandongnan. Moreover, Qiandongnan has been Guizhou’s premier cultural tourist region for decades; the Hmu represent the largest sub-group of the Miao in Qiandongnan. The language of the Hmu belongs to the Eastern branch of the Miao language. Economically, educationally, and politically, the Hmu are much better off than the Hmong and Ah Mao, who speak the Western branch of the Miao language. For example, I met with so many politicians, bureaucrats and professors of Hmu ancestry in Guiyang, but only one professor of Hmong descent.

    energies Article Decomposition of Industrial Electricity Efficiency and Electricity-Saving Potential of Special Economic Zones in China Considering the Heterogeneity of Administrative Hierarchy and Regional Location Jianmin You 1,2, Xiqiang Chen 1 and Jindao Chen 1,* 1 School of Economics and Statistics, Guangzhou University, Guangzhou 510006, China; [email protected] (J.Y.); [email protected] (X.C.) 2 Guizhou Institute of Local Modernized Governance, Guizhou Academy of Social Science, Guiyang 550002, China * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Special Economic Zones (SEZs), an important engine of industrial economic development in China, consume large amounts of energy resources and emit considerable CO2. However, existing research pays little attention to industrial energy usage in SEZs and ignores the heterogeneity of administrative hierarchy and regional location. Considering the dual heterogeneity, this study proposes an improved two-dimension and two-level meta-frontier data envelopment analytical model to decompose the industrial electricity efficiency (IEE) and electricity-saving potential of SEZs in Guizhou Province, China, based on 4-year field survey data (2016–2019). Results show that the IEE Citation: You, J.; Chen, X.; Chen, J. rankings of three administrative hierarchies within SEZs are provincial administration SEZs, county Decomposition of Industrial Electricity Efficiency and administration SEZs, and municipality administration SEZs. The SEZs located in energy resource- Electricity-Saving Potential of rich areas and better ecological environmental areas have higher IEE than those in resource-poor Special Economic Zones in China areas and ecology fragile areas, respectively. This study can provide reference for policymakers to Considering the Heterogeneity of formulate effective policies for improving the electricity use efficiency of SEZs in China.

  • The Means of Returning Farmland to Forest on Slope Farmland and Agriculture Sustainable Development in Guizhou
    12th ISCO Conference Beijing 2002 The Means of Returning Farmland to Forest on Slope Farmland and Agriculture Sustainable Development in Guizhou An Heping and Zhou Jiawei Guizhou Academy of Forestry Guiyang 550005 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The slope farmland extended is accelerator of leading to soil erosion increased and rocky desertification’s area enlarged. That is the basic reason of poverty and important obstruction of economic development in Guizhou mountainous district. Now returning farmland to forest program is the key’s project of controlling soil and water loss and ecological rehabilitation on sloping upland. Means of returning farmland to forest classified active means and inactive means. Through analyzed that the policies , measures and styles on returning farmland to forest in pass and now, active means is classified direct means (for example carrying out the project of returning farmland to forest on slope farmland in large exploiting in west of China) and indirect means (for example: thought engineering which farms from slope into terraces, emigration, adjust industry structure and harness of small watershed etc. promote returning farmland to forest. In order to ensure the project of returning farmland to forest implemented smoothly. From the development of sustainable agriculture angle, the idea was pointed out in the course of returning farmland to forest, that people must combine the direct means and indirect means, to practise returning one mu farmland to forest, simultaneously, other one mu land is carried out that terracing of the land on gentle slopes .By this means, to ensure stop cultivating and keep in step with afforestation, and making new forestland sustainable management to realize ecological rehabilitation, improving the agricultural production condition and grain safe in the region It must depend on S&T progress that improve the quality of returning farmland to forest.
