Report Purpose and Rationale The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) has been established as an indispensable part of Environmental Impact Assessment Report, proposing appropriate mitigation measures and institutional arrangements for all phases of the Project to monitor and ensure (i) compliance with environmental regulations; and (ii) implementation of the proposed mitigation measures. To ensure continuous improvement of environmental performance during project preparation, construction and operation,the borrower/client is required to prepare semi-annual environment monitoring and progress reports that describe progress of EMP implementation, status of environmental compliance and implemented corrective actions. This is the 11th semi-annual environmental monitoring report for Guangxi Southwestern Cities Development. B. Project Composition and Implementation Progress The Guangxi Southwestern Cities Development Project is intended to improve living conditions in the three border cities of Fangchenggang, Chongzuo, and Baise in the GZAR, and enhance their ability to promote and benefit from regional cooperation. The project is estimated to cost a total of approximately $293.41 million, of which $150million will be financed by a loan from ADB and the rest from city government budgets and domestic commercial loans. The project will be implemented over 5 years, between 2011 and 2015. The closing date of this project is delayed for 3 years till the end of 2018, because that Fangchenggang and Chongzuo were not able to close on time. The proposed project comprises six components in the three cities, whose description and implementation progress (by December 2018) are detailed in the table below.

INSTITUTIONAL SETUP AND RESPONSIBILITIES FOR EMP IMPLEMENTATION AND SUPERVISION A. Institutional responsibilities for environmental management To actively respond the requirements in Project Agreement, institutionally a vertical framework with 3 levels had been set up for the project environmental management, which is in full consistence with the description in the SEIA developed during project preparation in February 2010: Level 1: GPMO, which is established under the executing agency, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region government (GZARG), is located in the GZAR Development and Reform Commission (GDRC) and is headed by the director general of GDRC. GPMO draws its members from GDRC, GZAR Finance Department, GEPD, and GZAR Land Resources Bureau. The GPMO has set up an Environment Management Unit (EMU) since the beginning of the project, the EMU was in placed in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Development and Reform Commission Foreign Invest Division, with 1 dedicated staff, Ms Jiahui Yang in order to take its overall responsibility for supervising EMP implementation and reporting to ADB. The address of EMU is No.111-1 Autonomous Ave. Nanning, Guangxi. Level 2: PICs (POCs for operation phase), which have nominated 1~2 employees each in charge of EMP implementation, reporting to GPMO periodically. Level 3: Contractors/Supervisors, which have nominated 1~2 full-time staff in charge of daily environment management, reporting to PICs periodically during construction. Full-time staff of each sub-projects: Fangchenggang Urban Road Network and Related Municipal Infrastructure Project and Coastal Protection and Upgrading Project: Mr. Junxue Wei, Fangchenggang Port District City Investment Co., Ltd. Baise Longwang Bridge Project: Mr. Guiwei Lan, Baise Development Investment Group Co., Ltd. Baise Urban Road Network and Related Infrastructure Project: Guiwei Lan, Baise Development Investment Group Co., Ltd. Chongzuo Urban Road Network and Related Municipal Infrastructure and Shuikou Lake Environment Improvement Project: Mr. Runliang Sun, Chongzuo City Construction Investment Co., Ltd. Besides abovementioned three levels, GEPD and city EPBs also organize on-site inspection, supervise the fulfillment and effectiveness of environment protection measures, and provide comments and recommendations regularly or from time to time. 6 It is known that the independent environmental monitor (IEM), EED (Energy and Environment Development Research Center), (as part of the loan implementation consultancy engaged through international competitive bidding) will soon be mobilized to support the GZARG, GPMO, PICs and POCs in EMP implementation (carrying out training program and preparing semiannual EMP progress reports). In March 2014, EED formally engaged in the project as project management technical assistant consultant and the environmental specialist also set into place at the same time. The contracting

  • Anisotropic Patterns of Liver Cancer Prevalence in Guangxi in Southwest China: Is Local Climate a Contributing Factor?
    DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.7314/APJCP.2015.16.8.3579 Anisotropic Patterns of Liver Cancer Prevalence in Guangxi in Southwest China: Is Local Climate a Contributing Factor? RESEARCH ARTICLE Anisotropic Patterns of Liver Cancer Prevalence in Guangxi in Southwest China: Is Local Climate a Contributing Factor? Wei Deng1&, Long Long2&*, Xian-Yan Tang3, Tian-Ren Huang1, Ji-Lin Li1, Min- Hua Rong1, Ke-Zhi Li1, Hai-Zhou Liu1 Abstract Geographic information system (GIS) technology has useful applications for epidemiology, enabling the detection of spatial patterns of disease dispersion and locating geographic areas at increased risk. In this study, we applied GIS technology to characterize the spatial pattern of mortality due to liver cancer in the autonomous region of Guangxi Zhuang in southwest China. A database with liver cancer mortality data for 1971-1973, 1990-1992, and 2004-2005, including geographic locations and climate conditions, was constructed, and the appropriate associations were investigated. It was found that the regions with the highest mortality rates were central Guangxi with Guigang City at the center, and southwest Guangxi centered in Fusui County. Regions with the lowest mortality rates were eastern Guangxi with Pingnan County at the center, and northern Guangxi centered in Sanjiang and Rongshui counties. Regarding climate conditions, in the 1990s the mortality rate of liver cancer positively correlated with average temperature and average minimum temperature, and negatively correlated with average precipitation. In 2004 through 2005, mortality due to liver cancer positively correlated with the average minimum temperature. Regions of high mortality had lower average humidity and higher average barometric pressure than did regions of low mortality.

  • LINGUISTIC DIVERSITY ALONG the CHINA-VIETNAM BORDER* David Holm Department of Ethnology, National Chengchi University William J
    Linguistics of the Tibeto-Burman Area Volume 33.2 ― October 2010 LINGUISTIC DIVERSITY ALONG THE CHINA-VIETNAM BORDER* David Holm Department of Ethnology, National Chengchi University Abstract The diversity of Tai languages along the border between Guangxi and Vietnam has long fascinated scholars, and led some to postulate that the original Tai homeland was located in this area. In this article I present evidence that this linguistic diversity can be explained in large part not by “divergent local development” from a single proto-language, but by the intrusion of dialects from elsewhere in relatively recent times as a result of migration, forced trans-plantation of populations, and large-scale military operations. Further research is needed to discover any underlying linguistic diversity in the area in deep historical time, but a prior task is to document more fully and systematically the surface diversity as described by Gedney and Haudricourt among others. Keywords diversity, homeland, migration William J. Gedney, in his influential article “Linguistic Diversity Among Tai Dialects in Southern Kwangsi” (1966), was among a number of scholars to propose that the geographical location of the proto-Tai language, the Tai Urheimat, lay along the border between Guangxi and Vietnam. In 1965 he had 1 written: This reviewer’s current research in Thai languages has convinced him that the point of origin for the Thai languages and dialects in this country [i.e. Thailand] and indeed for all the languages and dialects of the Tai family, is not to the north in Yunnan, but rather to the east, perhaps along the border between North Vietnam and Kwangsi or on one side or the other of this border.

Based on the land use demands and policies, the simulation of future land use changes under different scenarios can test the rationality of socio-economic and policy-oriented land use changes. In this study, we set three scenarios of regular growth, ecological protection, and ecotourism development in 2030 for the Beibu Gulf area, China. We simulated the spatial distribution and evolution characteristics of the future landscape pattern using the Scenario Generator Rule Based Module of InVEST. Meanwhile, the ecosystem service value (ESV) was estimated by the improved unit area value equivalent method to reveal the trend of ESVs under different regional development models. The results indicated that Citation: Zhao, D.; Xiao, M.; the land use changes in the Beibu Gulf during 1999–2014 showed significant spatial heterogeneity.
