Chapter I Development Foundation and Development Environment Section 1 Development Foundation The “11th Five-Year Plan” period saw five years of marvelous development of Jiangmen. Facing complex and changing domestic and international environments, our city persevered according to the Scientific Outlook on Development leading the overall situation, strengthened the city with industries, enriched the city with private capital and foreign capital, powered the city with science and education, optimized the city with favorable environment, prospered the city with coordination, properly dealt with the severe impact of the international financial crisis, actively implemented the Planning Outline of Pearl River Delta, improved the comprehensive economic strength, made major breakthroughs in industrial structure adjustment, upgraded the city’s competitiveness, developed social enterprise, improved people's living standards, and successfully achieved the main goals of the “11th Five-Year Plan”, which have further laid a solid foundation to the development during the “12th Five-Year Plan” Period. --Economic comprehensive strength has moved into a historic new level. [We] achieved major economic indicators in the “11th Five-Year Plan” one year in advance. GDP reached 100 billion RMB and 150 billion RMB; per capita GDP reached 37,000 RMB, doubling that of the year 2000 and achieving the goal three years ahead of time. Industrial added value, total retail sales of consumer goods, fixed-asset investments, and the general revenue of local public finance have rapidly grown, which has doubled that of the end of the “10th Five-year Plan” Period. --New achievements have been made in the adjustment of industrial structure. The modern industrial system has been rapidly accelerated, and six new national industrial bases have been established.

Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Jiangmen City is located in the western Pearl River Delta Marine Economic Zone, east is adjacent to the Xijiang Golden Waterway, west is connected to the coastal economic hinterland of western Guangdong, south is bordered by the South China Sea International Waterway, and north is bordered by Guangfo. Therefore, as the hinterland of the construction of the "Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area", it is of far- reaching significance to promote the development of the marine industry. This article uses SPSS statistical analysis software and mainly uses the main level analysis method to analyze the development status of the marine industry in Jiangmen from 2011 to 2016. The empirical analysis results show that the overall trend of the development of the marine industry in Jiangmen in the past six years is improving, but at the same time facing the irrational structure of the marine industry, the prominent problems of the marine ecological environment, and the insufficient scientific and technological innovation capabilities of the marine industry. Keywords: Marine economy of Jiangmen city, Industrial development, Principal component analysis the key construction of the three blue industrial belts of 1.

Land subsidence can accelerate the increase in relative sea level, lead to a series of potential hazards, and threaten the stability of the ecological environment and human lives. In this paper, we adopted two commonly used multi-temporal interferometric synthetic aperture radar (MTInSAR) techniques, Small baseline subset (SBAS) and Temporarily coherent point (TCP) InSAR, to monitor the land subsidence along the entire coastline of Guangdong Province. The long-wavelength L-band ALOS/PALSAR-1 dataset collected from 2007 to 2011 is used to generate the average deformation velocity and deformation time series. Linear subsidence rates over 150 mm/yr are observed in the Chaoshan Plain.

  • Pearl River Delta Demonstration Project
    Global Water Partnership (China) WACDEP Work Package Five outcome report Pearl River Delta Demonstration Project Pearl River Water Resources Research Institution December 201 Copyright @ 2016 by GWP China Preface The Pearl River Delta (PRD) is the low-lying area surrounding the Pearl River estuary where the Pearl River flows into the South China Sea. It is one of the most densely urbanized regions in the world and one of the main hubs of China's economic growth. This region is often considered an emerging megacity. The PRD is a megalopolis, with future development into a single mega metropolitan area, yet itself is at the southern end of a larger megalopolis running along the southern coast of China, which include Hong Kong, Macau and large metropolises like Chaoshan, Zhangzhou-Xiamen, Quanzhou-Putian, and Fuzhou. It is also a region which was opened up to commerce and foreign investment in 1978 by the central government of the People’s Republic of China. The Pearl River Delta economic area is the main exporter and importer of all the great regions of China, and can even be regarded as an economic power. In 2002, exports from the Delta to regions other than Hong Kong, Macau and continental China reached USD 160 billion. The Pearl River Delta, despite accounting for just 0.5 percent of the total Chinese territory and having just 5 percent of its population, generates 20 percent of the country’s GDP. The population of the Pearl River Delta, now estimated at 50 million people, is expected to grow to 75 million within a decade.

  • Remittances, Donations, and Investments in Taishan, China, Since 1978: a Transnational Development Pattern
    Remittances, Donations, and Investments in Taishan, China, since 1978: A Transnational Development Pattern by Feng Zhang B.A., Sun Yat-sen University, 1991 M.Phil., Hong Kong Baptist University, 1999 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Sociology) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA July 2007 © Feng Zhang, 2007 Abstract One of the most prominent points of out-migration from China historically, since 1978 Taishan has again experienced substantial out-migration. My research seeks to describe the effects of monetary inputs from Chinese transnationals - in the form of remittances, donations, and investments - on social and economic transformation in Taishan. To date, the distinct and joint effects of these on ongoing socio-economic developments in China have not been systematically examined. My research demonstrates that transnational remittances, donations, and to a lesser degree investments, have intensive and permanent influences on households, communities and regions. A large proportion of the residents of Taishan receive remittances via transnational ties. Remittances, a primary income source for many recipients, contribute adversely to the stratification of incomes in the community and have a strong influence on the lifestyles and economic strategies of recipients. Large volumes of transnational donations have effectively modernized schools, hospitals, libraries, village planning, transportation and other sectors in local regions. Local governments therefore depend heavily upon such support for the public sector. Meanwhile, transnational investments in industries, few at first but many in recent years, have gradually changed the economic structure of Taishan, stimulating industrialization and increasing demographic diversity by attracting migrant workers from other places.
