INTRODUCTION 1. This summary environmental impact assessment (SEIA) is for the Kunming Qingshuihai Water Supply Project (KQWSP), in the People’s Republic of China (PRC), under technical assistance (TA) 4808-PRC from the Asian Development Bank (ADB). The Project is one of a number of initiatives designed to address the increasing demand on water resources to support the rapid growth of Kunming. The Project will make available 111 million cubic meters (m3) of water per annum to be distributed as follows: 104 million m3 for Kunming city, and 7 million m3 for Xundian County, based on projections to 2020. Eastern PRC and Yunnan Province are presented in Maps 1 and 2. 2. This SEIA is based on the environmental impact assessment (EIA) report prepared by the PRC Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower Research, Beijing, and the Yunnan Water Resources and Hydropower Survey, Design and Research Institute (YDRI). It has been augmented by the work of the project preparatory TA team in its project feasibility studies and field inspections. The environmental management plan (EMP) has been developed by the TA team in conjunction with the PRC project proponents, including the Kunming Water Supply Group (KWSG). The EMP includes major mitigation measures described in the EIA and other government documents related to project design and operation. The TA has developed substantial additional EMP provisions based on its own investigations of hydrology, technical designs, health and social impacts, and watershed policy considerations. The resulting SEIA/EMP is wholly owned by the PRC project stakeholders and Kunming municipal government (KMG). 3. The EIA went through rounds of revision based on inputs and suggestions provided by the TA team specialists. The draft EIA report was submitted to the State Environmental Protection Administration (SEPA) for review in February 2007 and supplemented in April 2007 by strategic environmental assessment and environmental protection plan following the EIA requirements. SEPA considered the EIA report to be adequate and authorized the Yunnan Provincial Environmental Protection Bureau (YEPB) for the EIA approval. The Soil Erosion Prevention Plan (SEPP), as required by the Ministry of Water Resources, was reviewed and approved by the Yunnan Provincial Water Resource Department (YWRD) in May 2007. II. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT A. Justification and Rationale for the Project 4. The present and continuing rapid population growth of Kunming is putting enormous stress on city services, especially the provision of clean drinking water. This is especially evident with the proposed establishment of new development areas for Kunming. Past and projected Kunming populations are shown in Table 1. Table 1: Projected Kunming City Population, 2002–2020 Year Population 2002 2,860,000 2020 5,810,000 Source: Feasibility study report. 2 5. Dianchi Lake, Kunming’s past water source, is polluted to an extent that it is currently below Class V in the PRC surface water standards (GB3838-2002).

  • Delineation of the Urban-Rural Boundary Through Data Fusion: Applications to Improve Urban and Rural Environments and Promote Intensive and Healthy Urban Development
    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Article Delineation of the Urban-Rural Boundary through Data Fusion: Applications to Improve Urban and Rural Environments and Promote Intensive and Healthy Urban Development Jun Zhang * , Xiaodie Yuan, Xueping Tan and Xue Zhang School of Architecture and Planning, Yunnan University, Kunming 650500, China; [email protected] (X.Y.); [email protected] (X.T.); [email protected] (X.Z.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: As one of the most important methods for limiting urban sprawl, the accurate delineation of the urban–rural boundary not only promotes the intensive use of urban resources, but also helps to alleviate the urban issues caused by urban sprawl, realizing the intensive and healthy development of urban cities. Previous studies on delineating urban–rural boundaries were only based on the level of urban and rural development reflected by night-time light (NTL) data, ignoring the differences in the spatial development between urban and rural areas; so, the comprehensive consideration of NTL and point of interest (POI) data can help improve the accuracy of urban–rural boundary delineation. In this study, the NTL and POI data were fused using wavelet transform, and then the urban–rural boundary before and after data fusion was delineated by multiresolution segmentation. Finally, the delineation results were verified. The verification result shows that the accuracy of Citation: Zhang, J.; Yuan, X.; Tan, X.; delineating the urban–rural boundary using only NTL data is 84.20%, and the Kappa value is Zhang, X.

Urban public greenspace (UPGS) is an important part of urban greenspaces. Existing literature rarely includes a scientific evaluation of greenspace plans (including of UPGS) and plan implementation effects. To bridge this gap, this study evaluated and monitored the UPGS plan enacted in 2010 in Kunming, China. Object-based image classification and visual interpretation of satellite images and Google Earth imagery were used to quantify the different periods of UPGS implementation. Six indicators and monitoring at four classic sites were applied to explore the change at two scales (overall scale and district scale) for monitoring the UPGS plan execu- tion. The results showed that UPGS structure greatly improved after plan implementation. However, Citation: Liu, M.; Li, X.; Song, D.; UPGS provision per capita has not reached the level of greenspace planning and the connectivity Zhai, H.

Zip code, 100083. 2CECEP New Material Investment Co., Ltd. Zip code, 100082. KEY WORD:Public welfare facilities; space welfare; spatial differentiation ABSTRACT: The welfare of public facilities space is part of residential space welfare. The spatial difference of public facilities causes the difference of public facilities space welfare and the spatial differentiation. In this paper, the establishment of public facilities space welfare maximization model is combined with the Kunming regional characteristics, and then the largest public welfare facilities configuration space is determined. Introduction With the development of society, on the one hand there exists social differentiation, and the spatial differentiation emerged on the other hand. In the meanwhile, when spatial differentiation develops to a certain stage, it may lead to spatial mismatch. Spatial mismatch hypothesis, originally proposed by Kain (1968), it discussed that the employment dispersion of American cities contributed to African Americans’ low-income and high unemployment phenomenon. The study included Ellwood (1986); Ihlanfeldt and Sjoquist (1990, 1991); Ihlanfeldt (1992), (1993); Holzer ect (1994); Zax and Kain (1996), who focused on living environment and employment of vulnerable groups [1] - [7]; Brueckner (1997) analyzes the equilibrium under the spatial mismatch [8]. In China, the number of researchers were relatively few, they are Zhou Jiangping(2004), Li Chunbin (2006), Qian Yingying (2007), Zheng Siqi (2007) and Ma Guanghong (2008) and so on.
