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.

  • A Case Study on Poverty Alleviation in Characteristic Industries
    2021 5th International Conference on Education, Management and Social Science (EMSS 2021) A Case Study on Poverty Alleviation in Characteristic Industries Taking Haisheng “331” Industrial Poverty Alleviation Model Of Ningxian County as an example Song-bai Zhang1, Han-yue Zhang2, Wei-wei Gu1 1 Economics and Management College, Longdong University, Qingyang, Gansu, China 2 Historic and Humanity College, Longdong University, Qingyang, Gansu, China Keywords: Apple industry, Poverty alleviation model Abstract: Haisheng “331” industry poverty alleviation in Ningxian County implements the three-way linkage mode of “leading enterprise+cooperative+poor household”, implements the transformation of resources into assets, funds into stocks, farmers become shareholders in the integration of resources, and establishes a unified and scientific brand quality management system, which explores a new way to solve the key problems of poverty alleviation in characteristic industries. 1. Introduction Based on the development of local characteristic advantage agricultural industry, exploring the mode of industrial poverty alleviation and increasing the income of poor farmers is one of the focus issues concerned by many experts and scholars. Huaian County, Hebei Province, explored the leading drive, share dividends and employment-driven and other industrial poverty alleviation model. Yuzhong County, Gansu Province, has explored the industrial poverty alleviation model of cultivating and strengthening the leading enterprises of agricultural precision poverty alleviation industry, extending the industrial chain, improving the value chain and sharing the benefit chain. The spring and fish industry in Xiuning County, Anhui Province, takes the farmers professional cooperatives as the core link, one connects the poor households and the other connects the market, which opens up a new path of poverty alleviation in the characteristic industries.

  • The Spatio-Temporal Characteristics of the Coordinated Development Of
    2019 International Conference on Power, Energy, Environment and Material Science (PEEMS 2019) ISBN: 978-1-60595-669-5 The Spatio-Temporal Characteristics of the Coordinated Development of Urbanization and Resources Environmental Carrying Capacity in Lanzhou-Xining Urban Agglomeration Wei-ping ZHANG and Pei-ji SHI* School of Geography and Environmental Sciences, Northwest Normal University, Lanzhou 730070, P.R. China *Corresponding author Keywords: Urbanization, Resource environmental carrying capacity, Coordination characteristics, Temporal and spatial patterns, Lanzhou-Xining urban agglomeration. Abstract. The coordination of urbanization and resources and environment is one of the key issues to promote regional social and economic development. This paper took Lanzhou-Xining urban agglomeration as the study area, constructed the evaluation index of urbanization and resource environmental carrying capacity first, and then used entropy method and the coordination degree model to measure the coordination of urbanization and resource environmental carrying capacity from 2005 to 2017. Results indicate that the overall index of urbanization and resource environmental carrying capacity of Lanzhou-Xining urban agglomeration shows an upward trend, and there are obvious spatial differences, especially between Lanzhou and Xining and the surrounding counties. The coordination degree of urbanization and resource environmental carrying capacity is between [0.5, 0.6), most of the counties are in a state of reluctance coordination, and the spatial distribution law of the degree is high in the east and low in the west. And the regional differences are gradually shrinking. There is a significant positive correlation between urbanization and capacity. The coordination status of Lanzhou and Xining provincial cities is relatively good, and the urbanization level is lower.

The representative provincial capital in the underdeveloped region of northwestern China, Lanzhou, was selected for the research area. In this paper, methods such as the two-step floating catchment area and ArcGIS network analysis are used to analyze the geographic spatial accessibility of medical services and differences of spatial access between urban and rural areas in Lanzhou city. The results show that 1. Areas in General and below grade of accessibility account for most of Lanzhou city. Therefore, the spatial accessibility of whole Lanzhou city is comparatively unsatisfactory. It shows a tendency of the north region to be worse than south region, and areas in parts of the main districts, parts of HG, and other tiny minority show Great grade of accessibility, and most of other areas distribute in poorer grade of accessibility, especially the surrounding mountainous region. 2. There are obvious differences in accessibility between urban and rural regions, mainly reflected in that residents and areas are basically districted in the Great and Good grade in the urban region, while almost 75% of the population and 35% of the areas are distributed in the Great and Good grade, and nearly 25% of the residents and 65% of the areas are still in the unsatisfactory accessibility grade in the rural region.
