One is designed for residents managed in centralized way by the Tap Water Company associated with Pingquan Water Affairs Bureau. The other is designed for corporate company in decentralized way, which use reserve wells for water supply. Now water supply capacity is 10,000 m3/d. Rest counties use reserve wells for water supply. This caused inconvenience for water resources exploitation which led to water supply shortage. The counties have low network pipeline, lack of pipe diameter and water pressure. The pipelines of counties has high leaking rate. It is difficult to provide a good service of drinking water for the residents in the terms of quality and quantity. Due to the uninterrupted development of economy and expansion of urban scale, people’s life standards are increasing day by day. The demand for high quantities and quality of water is becoming increasingly larger. In order to create a better production and living conditions for economic development, Pingquan County Development and Reform Bureau proposed to apply for ADB’s loan to construct water supply project in urban area. In line with Environmental Impact Assessment Law of PRC and ordinance of Environmental Protection Management for Construction and related policies, laws and regulations, an environmental impact assessment report should be done (plus Special Evaluation Study on Eco-Environment). In accordance with “Environmental Impact Assessment Technical Guidelines” and suggestion of provincial and municipal environmental protection departments, our technical personnel have finalized this environmental impact assessment report (plus Special Evaluation Study on Eco-Environment) by field investigation on Project site and surrounding area, technical information collection. Great appreciation for the help and support from Hebei Province Environmental Protection Agency, Chengde Municipal Environmental Protection Agency, Pingquan County Development and Reform Bureau, Pingquan County Environmental Protection Agency, Pingquan County Water Resources Bureau, and the Design Institute of the Feasibility Study Report. 6 1.

  • Urbanization in China, Ca. 1100–1900
    Front. Econ. China 2018, 13(3): 322–368 DOI 10.3868/s060-007-018-0018-9 RESEARCH ARTICLE Yi Xu, Bas van Leeuwen, Jan Luiten van Zanden Urbanization in China, ca. 1100–1900 Abstract This paper presents new estimates of the development of the urban population and the urbanization ratio for the period spanning the Song and late Qing dynasties. Urbanization is viewed, as in much of the economic historical literature on the topic, as an indirect indicator of economic development and structural change. The development of the urban system can therefore tell us a lot about long-term trends in the Chinese economy between 1100 and 1900. During the Song, the level of urbanization was high, also by international standards—the capital cities of the Song were probably the largest cities in the world. This remained so until the late Ming, but during the Qing there was a downward trend in the level of urbanization from 11%–12% to 7% in the late 18th century, a level at which it remained until the early 1900s. In our paper we analyse the role that socio–political and economic causes played in this decline, such as the changing character of the Chinese state, the limited impact of overseas trade on the urban system, and the apparent absence of the dynamic economic effects that were characteristic for the European urban system.

    Applied Mathematics and Nonlinear Sciences (aop) (aop) 1–17 Applied Mathematics and Nonlinear Sciences https://www.sciendo.com A comprehensive evaluation of county economies in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Re- gion based on entropy TOPSIS analysis Lu Sen, Zhang Yang, Zhang Caihong†, Wu Chengliang Beijing Forestry University, Beijing 100083, P.R. China Submission Info Communicated by Juan Luis García Guirao Received February 7th 2021 Accepted March 25th 2021 Available online May 25th 2021 Abstract Although the economy of a county that is linked to surrounding towns and rural areas constitutes a multiple basic eco- nomic unit within China’s national economy, it usually exhibits independent characteristics and functions. Consequently, a county’s economy plays a critical role in the overall economic development of a country’s national economy. We created an evaluation index system based on entropy Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) to carry out a comprehensive evaluation of county economy across the entire Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. We found serious imbalances in the development of these counties, with county economies within Beijing and Tianjin being more advanced than those in Hebei Province. Furthermore, there were marked differences between county economies within prefecture- level cities of Hebei Province. The developmental level of counties in cities like Langfang, Tangshan and Chengde was relatively high. Conversely, the level of development of counties in Hengshui, Baoding, Xingtai and Handan was lower. Moreover, there were imbalances among cities in relation to county economic development, especially in Langfang, with smaller differences being found in Hengshui and Qinhuangdao. We analysed and identified the factors influencing differ- ences between counties before providing recommendations.

ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is amending the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by adding fifty (50) persons to the Unverified List (“UVL”), removing ten (10) persons, and adding an additional address for one (1) person currently listed on the UVL. The fifty persons are added to the UVL on the basis that BIS could not verify their bona fides because an end-use check could not be completed satisfactorily for reasons outside the U.S. Government’s control. BIS is adding a new address for one person as BIS has determined that this person is receiving exports from the United States at an additional address. DATES: This rule is effective: [INSERT DATE OF PUBLICATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER]. 1 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kevin Kurland, Director, Office of Enforcement Analysis, Bureau of Industry and Security, Department of Commerce, Phone: (202) 482-4255 or by email at [email protected].

Abstract The paper aims to investigate land use change at the county level in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Metropolitan Region. Three land use patterns are identified by assessing the urban-rural linkages: urban, peri-urban and periphery areas. Empirical analysis shows that land use change in the urban areas is faster than that in the peri-urban and periphery areas. Economic conditions are significant to the land use change in the urban areas while the accessibility is the major driving force to the land use change in the peri-urban areas. However, weak factor influence is found in the periphery areas. Basically, the differences of land use change and the driving factors imply how the resource flows and agglomerates in this region. The paper finally emphasizes the role of peri-urban areas as the interface between urban and periphery areas for coordinating land use this region in the future. Keywords: Urban-rural linkages, Land use change, Spatial-temporal, Principal component analysis, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei 1. Introduction China has experienced accelerated urbanization since 1978.
