Although widely used, supervised classification mapping requires a large number of field samples, and is consequently costly in terms of time and money. In order to reduce the need for sample size, this paper proposes an unsupervised classification method based on principal components isometric binning (PCIB). In particular, principal component analysis (PCA) dimensionality reduction is applied to the classification features, followed by the division of the top k principal components into equidistant bins.

Introduction 1. Financial projections and analysis have been prepared in accordance with the 2005 edition of the Guidelines for the Financial Governance and Management of Investment Projects Financed by the Asian Development Bank. The Guidelines cover both revenue earning and non revenue earning projects. Project roads include expressways, Class I and Class II roads. All will be built by the Heilongjiang Provincial Communications Department (HPCD). When the project started it was assumed that all project roads would be revenue earning. It was then discovered that national guidance was that Class 2 roads should be toll free. The ADB agreed that the DFR should concentrate on the revenue earning Expressway and Class I roads, 2.

  • Environmental Issues in China's Northeast
    Environmental Issues in China’s Northeast By Sian Eiles, July 2014 Chinese environmental issues tend to centre around three particular issues: air pollution, water resources and desertification/ soil erosion. Air and water pollution are the most serious environmental problems in NE China Air pollution Air pollution is largely a result of China’s rapid period of industrialisation since the death of Mao and the economic reform era ushered in by his successor Deng Xiaoping. This has led to a growth in demand for power and in China this has been provided largely by coal, which has been the mainstay of electrical power generation as well as household energy for many years. Chinese domestic coal production is covered in another paper, but it is important to note the peculiarities of Chinese coal: which is that it is unusually ‘dirty’, particularly in the level of particulates it is likely to produce, along with a high sulphur content. Although the north east has seen a loss of industry since the beginning of the reform era the pollution problem still remains. In the south and the eastern coastal areas there been, over the past two decades, a movement away from ‘heavy’ industries such as steel smelting and car production. These are less energy intensive and have helped reduce pollution levels to some degree (although these areas now produce a lot of pollution via cars due to the increased wealth and increased demand for electricity, which is largely still coal fired). There is also a clear argument that pollution is an inevitable component of the development process, and that pollution levels reduce as economic wealth is more established.

Abstract: Given that cultivated land serves as a strategic resource to ensure national food security, blind emphasis on improvement of food production capacity can lead to soil overutilization and impair other soil functions. Therefore, we took Heilongjiang province as an example to conduct a multi-functional evaluation of soil at the provincial scale. A combination of soil, climate, topography, land use, and remote sensing data were used to evaluate the functions of primary productivity, provi- sion and cycling of nutrients, provision of functional and intrinsic biodiversity, water purification and regulation, and carbon sequestration and regulation of cultivated land in 2018. We designed a soil function discriminant matrix, constructed the supply-demand ratio, and evaluated the current status of supply and demand of soil functions. Soil functions demonstrated a distribution pattern Citation: Zhao, R.; Li, J.; Wu, K.; of high grade in the northeast and low grade in the southwest, mostly in second-level areas.

    Heilongjiang Green Urban and Economic Revitalization Project (RRP PRC 49021-002) FINANCIAL ANALYSIS A. Introduction and Methodology 1. The financial analysis for the proposed project was undertaken in accordance with the Asian Development Bank (ADB) guidelines.1 A financial analysis was conducted for all revenue- generating subcomponents—i.e., those concerning water supply, wastewater management, and district heating (Table 1)—to test if their financial internal rate of return (FIRR) is above the weighted average cost of capital (WACC). A tariff and affordability assessment was carried out. Additionally, a financial sustainability analysis was done to assess the capacity of the project cities of Hegang, Jixi, Qitaihe, and Shuangyashan to service debt, meet operation and maintenance costs as well as recurring costs, and provide counterpart funding as required by the project.
