(hereafter called as “BHWAC”), Hydrochina Huadong Engineering Corporation (hereafter called as “ECIDI”) undertook preparation of resettlement action plan and report of social assessment for World Bank loaned Bayanor City water environment comprehensive treatment project. At early July 2009, ECIDI completed “Terms of reference of resettlement action plan” and “Terms of reference of social assessment” and related survey sheets and questionnaires, clarified the purpose, contents and method of the work, laying a good foundation for the follow-up site survey and feasibility study report preparation. After deep communication and exchange with related experts of World Bank and the project owner, ECIDI made careful modification and perfection and provided both parties-agreed terms of reference, survey sheets and questionnaire, which will become the basis for further work. As per the work progress determined by the World Bank Project Delegation, ECIDI social assessment group divided the site survey into two stages. From July 7, 2009 to July 26, 2009 and from Nov. 10, 2009~Nov. 20, 2009, under great support and coordination of BHWAC and local government and departments of related banners (counties), ECIDI conducted social assessment and site survey in related townships, towns and villages of 6 banners (counties) (Urad Front Banner, Urad Middle Banner, Urad Back Banner, Hanggin Rear Banner, and Wuyuan County) for two times. During the site survey period, ECIDI made informal discussion, interview and questionnaire with project interest-related groups in 4 townships (towns), 1 state- owned farm, 1 state-owned pasture and related villages covered by the 5 banners (counties), further understand the opinions, complaints and related proposal interest groups on the project and overall collected materials necessary for social assessment. After completion of site survey, ECIDI immediately summarized, sorted out and - 1 - analyzed the related materials and questionnaires, the “Social Assessment Report for Reclaimed Water Supply and Wastewater Treatment Reuse Works of World Bank- loaned Bayanor City Water Environment Comprehensive Treatment Project (for Pre- appraisal)” was completed in January 2010, and passed the pre-appraisal smoothly in April 2010 . With the combination of the related comments from the World Bank, ECIDI completed the “Social Assessment Report for Reclaimed Water Supply and Wastewater Treatment Reuse Works of World Bank-loaned Bayanor City Water Environment Comprehensive Treatment Project (for appraisal)”. This social assessment work was guided under and supported by Mr. Liu Zhefu of World Bank and the site survey was got active coordination by BHWAC, local government and related departments of each banners (counties). Here, we would like to express hereby our acknowledgement to them. - 2 - Summary The total investment of Bayanor City water environment comprehensive treatment project is 2.125 billion yuan RMB, the first phase investment is 1.2 billion yuan and the World Bank loan is 80 million USD.

Appl. Eco-environmental Protection, Zhengzhou, China Abstract. The temporal-spatial dynamic variation of vegetation coverage from 2010 to 2019 in Urad Grassland, Inner Mongolia has been investigated by analysing on MODIS NDVI remote sensing products. This paper applies pixel dichotomy approach and linear regression trend analysis method to analyze the temporal and spatial evolution trend of vegetation coverage over the past 10 years. The average annual vegetation coverage showed a downward trend in general from 2010 to 2019. The vegetation distribution and change trend analysis provide a thorough and scientific reference for policymaking in environmental protection. 1 Introduction Urad Grassland as the study area in this work is located in the northern foot of Yinshan Mountain in China, with dry and windy winter and high proportion of wind erosion and desertification land. At present, over 70% grassland is seriously degraded, which is the main sand source of sandstorm and poses a threat to ecological security in North China [1][2]. Therefore, it is not only a typical ecological fragile zone which is very sensitive to global change, but also a critical ecological barrier in the mainland. Fortunately, government has constantly funded billions of RMB in Urad Grassland since 2003 to encourage in closing grassland, restoring vegetation, returning grazing to grassland and reducing population density [1].

However, a lack of multi-scale studies on intra-urban green space limits our knowledge of human settlement environments in this region. In this study, a synergistic methodology, including the main process of linear spectral decomposition, vegetation-soil-impervious surface area model, and artificial digital technology, was established to generate a multi-scale of green space (i.e., 15-m resolution intra-urban green components and 0.5-m resolution park region) and investigate multi-scale green space characteristics as well as its ecological service in 12 central cities of the Inner Mongolian Plateau.

  • Mortality of Urinary Tract Cancer in Inner Mongolia 2008-2012
    DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.7314/APJCP.2014.15.6.2831 Mortality of Urinary Tract Cancer in Inner Mongolia 2008-2012 RESEARCH ARTICLE Mortality of Urinary Tract Cancer in Inner Mongolia 2008- 2012 Ke-Peng Xin, Mao-Lin Du, Zhi-Jun Li, Yun Li, Wuyuntana Li, Xiong Su, Juan Sun* Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the mortality rate and burden of urinary tract cancers among residents of Inner Mongolia. We analyzed mortality data reported by the Death Registry System from 2008 to 2012. The rate of mortality due to urinary tract cancer was 2.04 per 100,000 person-years for the total population, 2.91 for men, and 1.11 for women. Therefore, the mortality rate for men was 2.62-fold the mortality rate for women, constituting a statistically significant difference (p<0.001). Over the period 2008 through 2012, the total potential years of life lost was 1388.1 person-years for men and 777.1 person-years for women, and the average years of life lost were 7.71 years per male decedent and 12.0 years per female decedent. Mortality due to urinary tract cancers is substantially greater among the elderly population. Further, the mortality rate associated with urinary tract cancers is greater for elderly men than it is for elderly women. Therefore, in Inner Mongolia, urinary tract cancers appear to pose a greater mortality risk for men than they do for women.

    VII THE PERIOD OF THE MONGOLIAN POLITICAL COUNCIL APRIL 1934 - JANUARY 1936 Founding of the Council The approved Eight Articles on Mongolian Local Autonomy became the legal foundation for Mongolian self-rule that Mongolian leaders had desired for years. In ac­ cordance with these principles, both the Temporary Outline of the Organization of the Mongolian Local Autonomous Political Affairs Council and its main personnel were all announced. The hearts of both traditional and more modem-minded Mongol leaders were gladdened, and they also perceived this as an unprecedented event in the history of the Republic of China. Still, the Eight Articles also occasioned a counterattack from the frontier provinces. Fu Zuoyi and his clique tried hard to destroy this great accomplish­ ment. Because of this. Prince De and other leaders ofthe autonomy movement had no choice but to concentrate their attention and energy on dealing with the pressure from without. But they were unable to make progress solving internal problems and satisfying the desires of the Mongol people because of Japanese westward expansion and changes in China ’s domestic political scene. After the Mongolian delegates returned to Beile-yin sume and submitted their report, both Prince Yon and Prince De took up their positions on April 3, 1934 and then telegraphed the Chinese government that they would go ahead with ceremonies to mark the establishment of the Mongolian Political Council and the inauguration of its mem­ bers. Princes Yon and De invited General He Yingqin, the Superintendent of Mongolian Local Autonomy, to come and “supervise” the ceremony. On April 23, 1934 the Mongolian Political Council was founded and its mem­ bers were sworn in.

    VIII JAPANESE INTERVENTION AND THE MONGOLIAN ARMY GENERAL HEADQUARTERS JANUARY - MAY 1936 The Early Activities of Japanese Agents and the General Headquarters September 18, 1931, the date of the “Manchurian Incident,” represented the overt renewal of Japanese expansion on the Asian continent. Because of the changing world situation. Inner Mongolia could not entirely control its own destiny. Prince De and other Mongolian leaders could only seek out a way for the weak Inner Mongolia to con­ tinue its national existence in the face of the mad tide of worldwide disturbances. Parallel to the changing situation in northern China, Japanese advances into Inner Mongolia fol­ lowed one after another. Except for the Ordos, Alashan, and Ejine areas, all Inner Mon­ golia was swallowed up by Japanese armies. Faced with this overwhelming force. Prince De and the other leaders working together with him exerted themselves to the utmost in their struggle to maintain the existence of the Mongol people. Differences in political orientation and ideology have led different people to evaluate this period of history dif­ ferently. Nevertheless, the honor and disgrace imputed to Prince De’s efforts by alien peoples and alien ideologies cannot alter established historical fact. The activities of Japanese intelligence agents such as Morishima, Sasame, and others, and the establishment of the Japanese Special Service Offices in Doloonnor and Ujumuchin, together with the open intervention of Japanese military officers like Colonel Matsumoro Koryo and Major Tanaka Hisashi and the response of the Mongols and the changing situation of North China, have all been described in previous chapters and will not be further discussed here.
