Construction and Level Measurement of the Evaluation Index System of Heilongjiang Province’S Coordinated Development Between 2018 International Conference on Advanced Chemical Engineering and Environmental Sustainability (ICACEES 2018) ISBN: 978-1-60595-571-1 Construction and Level Measurement of the Evaluation Index System of Heilongjiang Province’s Coordinated Development Between Green and Low-carbon for New Urbanization Youjun Li and Wei Li ABSTRACT This paper takes Heilongjiang Province as an example to construct the evaluation index system of Heilongjiang Province's coordinated development between green and low-carbon for new urbanization. The entropy weight method was used to measure the coordinated development level of green and low-carbon for new urbanization in 12 prefecture-level cities in Heilongjiang Province. The results show that Harbin is the highest level area of coordinated development between green and low-carbon for new urbanization, Daqing and Qiqihaer belong to the higher level areas of coordinated development between green and low-carbon for new urbanization, Mudanjiang and Jiamusi belong to the lower level areas of coordinated development between green and low-carbon for new urbanization, Jixi, Yichun, Shuangyashan, Qitaihe, Hegang, Suihua and Heihe belong to the lowest level areas of coordinated development between green and low-carbon for new urbanization1. INTRODUCTION The new urbanization is different from the traditional urbanization. It emphasizes low-carbon development, circular development, and green development. Therefore, we must re-examine and objectively evaluate the new level of coordinated development between green and low-carbon for new urbanization, clarify the realities of its development, and provide the basis for a type of 1Youjun Li, Wei Li. School of Economics and Management, Northeast Petroleum University, Daqing 163318, China 379 coordinated development between green and low-carbon for new urbanization, and have important practical significance for China’s new urbanization[1]. At present, there is a lack of research on the measurement of coordinated development between green and low-carbon for new urbanization. Heilongjiang Province belongs to underdeveloped areas and is an important production base and old industrial base for commodity grain, agriculture and animal husbandry. In recent years, the urbanization rate has grown steadily. In 2017, the urbanization rate of permanent residents reached 59.4% which are concentrated on the fact that although the level of urbanization is higher than the national average, but the quality of urbanization is low and the pace of development is slowing down. How the new type of urbanization in Heilongjiang Province grasps the regional characteristics and realizes the coordinated development of green and low carbon is in line with the needs of the long-term strategic development of the country. Therefore, this paper measures the level of Heilongjiang Province's coordinated development between green and low-carbon for new urbanization. EVALUATION METHODAND CONSTRUCTIONOF EVALUATION INDEX SYSTEM Construction of Evaluation Index System With the continuous in-depth development of new urbanization, different scholars have adopted different evaluation indicators to evaluate the level: LinXu(2014) found that the new urbanization process pays more attention to urban ecological sustainability, the livability of the city and the soft power of the city's culture[2]. Xiaoli Fan (2015) established an indicator system from the aspects of environmental quality level, infrastructure level and quality of life[3]. WenZhang (2016) believe that the concept should be adhered to in the development of new urbanization, and an indicator system should be established in terms of the speed of urbanization and the quality of urbanization development[4].WenChen (2017) selected input indicators as resource indicators and environmental indicators, and output indicators were selected as regional GDP[5]. Based on the results of many scholars' research, according to the principles of science, system, dynamics, and comparability from the six aspects of resource which are environment, industrial structure, capital investment, population, education, and culture to build the evaluation index system is shown in Table I. 380 TABLE I.

The first step is data processing. The normalized method is used for the normalization of raw data xij to calculate the proportion pij, that is: xij ij P 12 0 i 12 (1) xij i1 In the second step, the entropy weight method is used to determine the weight of each index in the evaluation index system. Using this method can avoid the interference of human factors, so that the evaluation results have a higher degree of objectivity and credibility. 381 Based on the entropy weight method, the specific calculation steps for the determination of index weights in the evaluation index system of Heilongjiang Province's coordinated development between green and low-carbon for new urbanization are as follows: Calculation of entropy. Get the evaluation index entropy weight ej, namely: 12 ej k Pij ln P ij 0 i 12 j 1,2, ,14 (2) i1 Calculate the degree of deviation. Forward the entropy, the problem of reducing the difference in the indexes caused by the decrease of the entropy value is greater, and the degree of deviation gj of the j-th index is obtained: gj1 e j (3) Calculate weights. The value obtained by normalizing the degree of deviation calculated above is the weight of each indicator. The weighting formula for the j-th indicator is: gj j ( ) w 14 4 gj j1 Calculate the composite score. The standardized evaluation index value is multiplied by its corresponding index weight to obtain the comprehensive score of Heilongjiang Province's new urbanization green and low carbon coordinated development. The formula is: 14 Fj wj Pij (5) j1 LEVEL MEASUREMENT OF THE EVALUATION INDEX SYSTEM This study mainly analyzes the coordinated development level of green and low- carbon urbanization in 12 prefecture-level cities in Heilongjiang Province. The data comes mainly from the 2016 Statistical Yearbook of Heilongjiang Province, the Statistical Communiqué of Heilongjiang Province on National Economic and Social Development 2016, and the 2016 China City Statistical Yearbook. 382 Specific Steps First, data processing. The normalized results of the original data are using the formula (1) for normalization. Second, weights are determined using the entropy method. Use formula (2) to obtain the evaluation index entropy weight: e=(0.9855, 0.8744, 0.8550, 0.9799, 0.9820, 0.9713 0.9922, 0.9822, 0.7715, 0.8648, 0.9624, 0.9774, 0.5054, 0.6372) Use formula (3) to get the degree of deviation of the indicator: g=(0.0145, 0.1256, 0.1450, 0.0201, 0.0180, 0.0287, 0.0078, 0.0178, 0.2285, 0.1352, 0.0376, 0.0226, 0.4946, 0.3628) Using formula (4) to get the weight of the indicator: w=(0.0088, 0.0757, 0.0874, 0.0121, 0.0109, 0.0173, 0.0047, 0.0107, 0.1377, 0.0815, 0.0227, 0.0136, 0.2982, 0.2187) Finally, using formula (5) to obtain the comprehensive score of Heilongjiang Province's new urbanization green and low-carbon coordinated development level, see Table II. TABLE II. COMPREHENSIVESCORE. City Comprehensive score Harbin 0.45050 Qiqihar 0.09102 Jixi 0.03719 Hegang 0.02946 Shuangyashan 0.03259 Daqing 0.13343 Yichun 0.03428 Jiamusi 0.05017 Qitaihe 0.03025 Mudanjiang 0.06079 Heihe 0.02202 Suihua 0.02831 Result Analysis The highest comprehensive score for Heilongjiang Province's new urbanization of green and low-carbon coordinated development level is Harbin, which is 0.4505. The Heihe with the lowest comprehensive score is 0.02202, and the calculated difference between the two cities is 0.42848. The average composite score of the new type of green, low-carbon coordinated development level in Heilongjiang Province is 0.0833, with a standard deviation of 0.1201. The range and standard deviations are relatively large, reflecting the obvious regional differences in the coordinated development of green and low-carbon urbanization in 12 prefecture- level cities in Heilongjiang Province. As can be seen from Table 2, Harbin is much highest than the average level of the province, Daqing and Qiqihar are slightly 383 higher than the average level of the province, Mudanjiang and Jiamusi are slightly lower than the provincial average, while Jixi, Yichun, Shuangyashan, Qitaihe, Hegang, Suihua and Heihe are far below the provincial average. According to the average level of the new urbanization of green and low-carbon coordinated development in Heilongjiang Province and the development gap between cities, the 12 prefecture-level

  • Educated Youth Should Go to the Rural Areas: a Tale of Education, Employment and Social Values*
    Educated Youth Should Go to the Rural Areas: A Tale of Education, Employment and Social Values* Yang You† Harvard University This draft: July 2018 Abstract I use a quasi-random urban-dweller allocation in rural areas during Mao’s Mass Rustication Movement to identify human capital externalities in education, employment, and social values. First, rural residents acquired an additional 0.1-0.2 years of education from a 1% increase in the density of sent-down youth measured by the number of sent-down youth in 1969 over the population size in 1982. Second, as economic outcomes, people educated during the rustication period suffered from less non-agricultural employment in 1990. Conversely, in 2000, they enjoyed increased hiring in all non-agricultural occupations and lower unemployment. Third, sent-down youth changed the social values of rural residents who reported higher levels of trust, enhanced subjective well-being, altered trust from traditional Chinese medicine to Western medicine, and shifted job attitudes from objective cognitive assessments to affective job satisfaction. To explore the mechanism, I document that sent-down youth served as rural teachers with two new county-level datasets.

As the main carrier and manifestation of elements, mobility such as people and material, traffic flow is of great significance for understanding the characteristics of spatial connection. In this paper, Harbin-Changchun agglomeration proposed by China's New Urbanization Plan (2014-2020) is taken as a research object. With the data of intercity passenger traffic flow including highway and railway passenger trips between 73 county-level spatial units in the research area, a traffic flow model is constructed to measure the intensity of spatial connection.

R. China 2Key Laboratory of Carrying Capacity Assessment for Resource and Environment, Ministry of Land and Resources, Beijing 100083, China Received: 16 March 2017 Accepted: 21 June 2017 Abstract Ecological problems have long been a hard issue in mining cities. This paper tried to present ecological functions in mining cities from two aspects: landscape ecology and ecological carrying capacity. The city of Qitaihe, one of the coal cities in Heilongjiang Province in northeastern China, was chosen as a typical study area. Remote sensing data from 1957, 1985, 2000, and 2015, and geographic information system (GIS) techniques were employed to obtain land use and cover information. Methods of landscape pattern indexes and a modified model of ecological carrying capacity which added social and economy index were used to study the spatial and temporal variation of the ecological condition. Results showed that the landscape pattern changed tremendously during the study period due to interference from human activity. The degree of aggregation, dominance, and fragmentation of mining land showed an increasing trend. On the other hand, the ecological carrying capacity per capita declined by 37.4% from 1985 to 2000. Except for the growth of population, the dim social and economic conditions had an impact on this decline too. In addition, spatial distribution of land types and ecological carrying capacity also had some correlation with the city’s overall planning.

Taking data of seven cities from Songhua River basin such as Jilin, Changchun, Songyuan, Qiqihar, Harbin, Qitaihe, Jiamusi, the paper also calculates their ecological compensation rates in 2004 and 2015 based on the trading of emission rights, and does longitudinal analysis of the ecological compensation standards of Changchun and Harbin. The results show that cities with transboundary basins should follow the principle of "who pollutes who pays", and cities that overuse the right to emit pollutants should pay more ecological compensation, while the economically viable cities will receive corresponding ecological compensation, which will help clear cross-border river basin water pollution control responsibilities, and improve pollution control efficiency. 1. Literature Review Due to the fluidity of water resources and the characteristics of public resources, watershed management involves the vertical affiliation between the upper and lower levels of government and the horizontal parallel relationship between governments at the same level. This complex multi-tiered relationship leads to controversy over water quality issues in the upper and lower reaches of the basin.

Diversity and correlation between composition, texture characteristics and sensory features of twenty kinds of purebred rice from Heilongjiang China were studied. Experimental results showed significant differences in content of fat, amylose and protein, however those differences were not extended to perceived taste evaluation by sensory evaluation. More protein led to lower viscosity but better hardness and springiness, higher amylose content resulted lower taste but higher springiness. Moisture content was significantly negatively correlated with resilience; the content of protein was significantly positively correlated with resilience. The adhesiveness of texture characteristic and the viscosity of taste showed significant positive correlation. 1. Introduction Rice is one of the most popular staple foods, and today half of the world population are living depend on it[1]. Rice is being produced in Asia, Southern Europe, tropical America and some parts of Africa, and the total production is ranked 3 among the world's total crop yields[2]. The area of Heilongjiang is located in the center of the northeastern Asia economic zone, which is one of the three world famous black soil zone and the rice produced from Heilongjiang is popular with acceptable quality[3].
