  • Evaluation of Sustainable Development of Resources-Based Cities in Shanxi Province Based on Unascertained Measure
    sustainability Article Evaluation of Sustainable Development of Resources-Based Cities in Shanxi Province Based on Unascertained Measure Yong-Zhi Chang and Suo-Cheng Dong * Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-10-64889430; Fax: +86-10-6485-4230 Academic Editor: Marc A. Rosen Received: 31 March 2016; Accepted: 16 June 2016; Published: 22 June 2016 Abstract: An index system is established for evaluating the level of sustainable development of resources-based cities, and each index is calculated based on the unascertained measure model for 11 resources-based cities in Shanxi Province in 2013 from three aspects; namely, economic, social, and resources and environment. The result shows that Taiyuan City enjoys a high level of sustainable development and integrated development of economy, society, and resources and environment. Shuozhou, Changzhi, and Jincheng have basically realized sustainable development. However, Yangquan, Linfen, Lvliang, Datong, Jinzhong, Xinzhou and Yuncheng have a low level of sustainable development and urgently require a transition. Finally, for different cities, we propose different countermeasures to improve the level of sustainable development. Keywords: resources-based cities; sustainable development; unascertained measure; transition 1. Introduction In 1987, the World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED) proposed the concept of “sustainable development”. In 1996, the first official reference to “sustainable cities” was raised at the Second United Nations Human Settlements Conference, namely, as being comprised of economic growth, social equity, higher quality of life and better coordination between urban areas and the natural environment [1].

  • Origin of the Mysterious Yin-Shang Bronzes in China Indicated by Lead
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Origin of the mysterious Yin-Shang bronzes in China indicated by lead isotopes Received: 27 November 2015 Wei-dong Sun1,2, Li-peng Zhang1, Jia Guo1, Cong-ying Li1, Yu-hang Jiang1, Robert E. Zartman1 Accepted: 03 March 2016 & Zhao-feng Zhang3 Published: 18 March 2016 Fine Yin-Shang bronzes containing lead with puzzlingly highly radiogenic isotopic compositions appeared suddenly in the alluvial plain of the Yellow River around 1400 BC. The Tongkuangyu copper deposit in central China is known to have lead isotopic compositions even more radiogenic and scattered than those of the Yin-Shang bronzes. Most of the Yin-Shang bronzes are tin-copper alloys with high lead contents. The low lead and tin concentrations, together with the less radiogenic lead isotopes of bronzes in an ancient smelting site nearby, however, exclude Tongkuangyu as the sole supplier of the Yin-Shang bronzes. Interestingly, tin ingots/prills and bronzes found in Africa also have highly radiogenic lead isotopes, but it remains mysterious as to how such African bronzes may have been transported to China. Nevertheless, these African bronzes are the only bronzes outside China so far reported that have lead isotopes similar to those of the Yin-Shang bronzes. All these radiogenic lead isotopes plot along ~2.0–2.5 Ga isochron lines, implying that deposits around Archean cratons are the most likely candidates for the sources. African cratons along the Nile and even micro-cratons in the Sahara desert may have similar lead signatures. These places were probably accessible by ancient civilizations, and thus are the most favorable suppliers of the bronzes.

  • Internal Ex-Post Evaluation for Technical Cooperation Project Conducted by China Office
    Internal Ex-Post Evaluation for Technical Cooperation Project conducted by China Office: Month, 201X Country Name The Project on Eco-environment Rehabilitation and Poverty Reduction in Yanmenguan Region, People’s Republic of China Shanxi Province I. Project Outline Yanmenguan Region, Shanxi Province, is located in the Loess Plateau in the Northern China. It is a region of arid sandy terrace where rain-fed farming is the major style of agriculture and poor population is concentrated. In lands where reclamation reached to mountain summits, soil eroded after every heavy rainfall in summer, and this reduced land productivity further accelerated poverty. In 2001, the Shanxi provincial government proposed the Yanmenguan Ecological Livestock Economic Zone Construction Background Plan with the goal of improving ecological environment and of farmers’ livelihood. By mobilizing budget at the state, provincial and county levels, this plan intended to increase the share of livestock farming, protect soil surface through cultivation of perennial plants and promote grass-fed livestock farming. Nevertheless, this region lacked human resources capable of initiating and implementing the above-mentioned plan, as well as grass seeds, livestock, and initial investment cost for livestock-house construction, causing major delays on transition from agriculture to livestock farming. 1. Overall Goal: To diffuse the model system created in the project, improve the ecological environment, and to improve livelihood of the farmers in the Yanmenguan Region. Objectives of the 2. Project Purpose: To construct a model system(Note) for improvement of both ecological environment Project and livelihood of farmers and to establish a system for diffusion in the Yanmenguan Region.
