Brockman (Quality Reviewer), F. De Guzman (Senior Evaluation Officer), W. Zhou and J. Eerikainen (Consultants). I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION A. Rationale 1. Gansu was one of the least developed provinces in the People's Republic of China (PRC). In 2009, its gross domestic product per capita was the second lowest among all provinces. Development constraints were its poor infrastructure and remote inland location. Tianshui municipality, a second-tier city within the province, had an urban population of 640,000 and an urban poverty rate of 13.5% in 2009.1 Poor municipal infrastructure—district heating, urban transport, and flood control—was a barrier to its economic and social development. District heating in the city had limited coverage and caused severe air pollution due to energy- inefficient coal-fired boilers and single-family heating stoves. Tianshui’s inadequate facilities for public and nonmotorized transport lagged behind population growth. Poor traffic management meant frequent road safety issues. Also, the city had a high risk of seasonal flooding due to the convergence of Xi and Wei rivers. 2. Tianshui was a subcore city under the Guanzhong–Tianshui Economic Zone (GTEZ) Development Plan that the National Development and Reform Commission prepared in 2009.2 GTEZ was envisioned to become the economic backbone of northwest PRC by 2020. Tianshui is a major industrial center in Gansu province. Under the GTEZ, it is seen as a location for equipment manufacturing and nonmetallic mineral resources mining and utilization, and a hub for road and rail transport linking other parts of Gansu province with GTEZ. Implementation of this development plan was expected to increase the demand for Tianshui city's infrastructure. This spurred the need to prioritize the renovation and upgrading of its district heating, urban transport, and flood control facilities. 3. The PRC government requested a $100 million loan from the Asian Development Bank’s (ADB) ordinary capital resources to fund the Gansu Tianshui Urban Infrastructure Development Project (the project) that would address Tianshui’s infrastructure challenges. The ADB Board approved the loan in June 2011.3 The project aimed to promote balanced and environmentally sustainable urbanization in Tianshui through the restructuring and expansion of district heating, construction of urban roads and flood control facilities, and strengthening of its urban management capacity. The PRC was the borrower, relending the proceeds to Gansu provincial government which on-lent to Tianshui Municipal Government (TMG) on the same terms and conditions as those of the ADB loan. B. Expected Impacts, Outcomes, and Outputs 4. The project’s design and monitoring framework (DMF) indicated that the expected impact was better living conditions in Tianshui municipality, as set out in the report and recommendation of the President and the project completion report (PCR).4 The intended outcome was improved heating, transport, and flood control services in Tianshui municipality. 1 Bulletin on 2009 Tianshui National Economic and Social Development Statistics provided by the Tianshui Municipal Statistics Bureau. By comparison, 4.2% of the PRC’s rural population was living below the national poverty line in 2008 (ADB. 2010. Basic Statistics 2010. Manila). 2 Government of PRC, National Development and Reform Commission. 2009. Guanzhong–Tianshui Economic Zone Development Plan. Beijing. 3 ADB. 2011.

Manila. 4 ADB. 2020. Completion Report. People’s Republic of China: Gansu Tianshui Urban Infrastructure Development Project. Manila. 2 There were four targeted outputs: (i) operating Qinzhou district’s upgraded heating network, (ii) operating Chengji road and flood control facilities, (iii) open urban roads and bridges to traffic and operating related services, and (iv) developed capacity and strengthened institutions. Some of the target indicators in the DMF were changed due to a minor change in scope. C. Provision of Inputs 5. ADB’s Board approved the project in June 2011 and the loan became effective in May 2012, almost four months later than expected. Loan closing was in December 2018, two years after the original date of December 2016. Project completion was extended from June 2016 to December 2018 because of the change of the heating plant under the Qinzhou district heating development. Due to China Huaneng Group’s (CHG) cancellation of the originally planned combined heat and power plant (CHP), the loan had to be extended to December 2018 for TMG to build a new heat source plant and complete the Qinzhou district heating network component. 6. At appraisal, the total project cost was $229.6 million, with $100 million financing from ADB (43.6%), $61.4 million (26.7%) from TMG, and $68.2 million domestic loan (29.7%) from the China Development Bank (CDB). At completion, the total project cost was $204.5 million, or 89.1% of the appraised amount, of which ADB loan financed $98.5 million (48.2%) and $106.0 million (51.8%) from TMG. The proposed domestic loan from CDB was not used and TMG provided the required financing. CHG, which was to use the CDB loan, canceled the construction of the originally planned CHP. TMG instead built its own new heat source plant to supply Qinzhou District using its own fund. 7. Five consulting services packages were proposed. However, during implementation, these were combined to one in accordance with a minor change in project scope approved in September 2015. A consulting firm was selected to support project implementation through quality- and cost-based selection, and a time-based contract was awarded in October 2012. The firm provided 22 person-months of international consulting services and 89.5 person-months of national consulting services. TMG funded external monitoring agencies, design institutes, construction supervision agencies, and a procurement agent to provide related consulting services. There was

  • Mammalia: Bovidae) from the Late Miocene Qingyang Area, Gansu, China
    Palaeontologia Electronica palaeo-electronica.org “Gazella” (Mammalia: Bovidae) from the late Miocene Qingyang area, Gansu, China Yikun Li, Qinqin Shi, Shaokun Chen, and Tao Deng ABSTRACT The rich collection from the late Miocene sediments from the Qingyang area, Gansu, China was discovered by E. Licent in the 1920s, and previous studies focused on the equids and hyaenids whereas little attention was given to the accompanying bovid material. The collection of Bovidae dug up from the Qingyang area and pre- served at Musée Hoangho Paiho, Tianjin, China, is dominated by “Gazella”. We describe and identify two species: “Gazella” paotehensis and “G.” dorcadoides. The nomenclatural issues surrounding those two species of gazelles are reviewed in this paper, and although the questionable mandible illustrated by Teilhard de Chardin and Young in 1931 may be excluded from “G.” paotehensis metrically and morphologically, the species is still considered valid. The subcomplete cranium M 3956, kept at Uppsala Universitet Evolutionsmuseet and studied by B. Bohlin, is selected here as the neotype of “G.” paotehensis, and emended diagnoses are given. Based on previous studies and insights from new material from the Qingyang area, we provide a table summarizing diagnostic morphological characters of “G.” paotehensis and “G.” dorcadoides. Yikun Li.

Abstract: Rural clean heating project (RCHP) in China aims to increase flexibility in the rural energy system, enhance the integration of renewable energy and distributed generation, and reduce environmental impact. While RCHP-enabling routes have been studied from a technical perspective, the economic, ecological, regulatory, and policy dimensions of RCHP are yet to be analysed in depth, especially in the underdeveloped areas in China. This paper discusses RCHP in rural Gansu using a multi-dimensional approach. We first focus on the current issues and challenges of RCHP in rural Gansu. Then the RCHP-enabling areas are briefly zoned into six typical regions based on the resource distribution in Gansu Province, and a matching framework of RCHP is recommended. Then we focus on the economics and sustainability of RCHP-enabling technologies. Based on the medium-term assessment of RCHP in the demonstration provinces, various technical schemes and routes are analysed and compared in order to determine which should be adopted in rural Gansu.

However, our knowledge of green development efficiency (GDE) in Gansu province is poor. In remedy, this study, based on the panel data of 12 major cities in Gansu from 2010 to 2017, employed the super-efficient Slack-based measure (SBM) to analyze and evaluate GDE from the input–output perspective. Furthermore, we analyzed the input redundancy and output deficiency of identified inefficient cities in 2017 and conducted spatial autocorrelation analysis of GDE of the cities under study. Results show differences in the GDE of the major cities in Gansu, with an average value of 0.985. Green development efficiency in Lanzhou, Qingyang, Jinchang, Jiuquan, and Tianshui was relatively higher than in other cities. Green development efficiency in Zhangye, Wuwei, Jiayuguan, Baiyin, Dingxi, Longnan, and Longnan was less than one due to their redundant labor and capital input and excessive pollutant emission output. The overall GDE in Gansu depicts “high east and low west” zones. Each city in Gansu needs to formulate targeted policies and regulations to improve Citation: Liu, R.; Chen, D.; Yang, S.; resource utilization, innovation capacity, reduce pollutant emission, optimize the industrial structure, Chen, Y.
