INTRODUCTION The proposed Tongchuan-Huangling Class-One Highway (hereinafter called THCOH) lies in the central part of Shaanxi province, which is the important section of Xian-Yanan Highway of the National Trunk Highway No 210 within Shaarui provice. It is also the northerly extension of the Sanyuan-Tongchuan Class-one Highway which is in service now. The proposed highway will connect Tongehuan and Yanan with Xian via Xi-Tong Highway, bringing great benefit to these areas in developing their economy. The total length of the planned highway is 71. 32km with the estimated investment of 1, 679, 439, 100 yuan includ- ing 70, 000, 000 U. S. dollars from the World Bank loan. The proposed Yaoxian-Tongchuan half-cross class-one highway (hereinafter called YTHCH) is the seccession project of the Sanyuan-Tongchuan Class-one Highway which is in service. The total length of the project is 18. 35km with the estimated investment of 270, 187, 400 yuan including 14, 000, 000 U. S. dollarsfrom the World Bank Loan. In May, 1993, Xian Highway Transportation University was asked to carry out the environmental impact assessment (EIA) of the project by Shaanxi Communications Depart- mnent. On Dec. 8, 1993, the State Environment Protection Bureau held a meeting to solicit opinions about EIA scheme for the project in Beijing, and on the 28 Dee, 1993, a reply to the scheme exmination from SEPB was given. In Oct., 1994, The Environmental Protection Office of MOC and the National Envi- rornimlental protection Bureau presided over appraisal meeting in Beijing, and almost at the samc tirne,the World BAnk environment expert Mr. Suzuk had a talk with suggestions. Now, we'll submit the new report, carefully resised and added from both the meeting and the sug- gestion report. In Oct. 1994, Mr. Suzuki had some more suggestions before the revision and submission to World Bank in Apr- 1995- The secondary revised report can be completed to the World Bank. The data in the statement were provided by EPM Station of Tongchan. We express our great thanks to the following organigations and departments for their help in the EIA: Shaanxi Communications Department, the Provincial Environment Protection Bureau, Shaanxi Highway Planning Reconnaissance and Design Institute, Tongehuan Bureau, Tongchuan Communications Division, Communications.Division of Yijun County, Shaanxi Meteorologimal Bureau, etc. Contents I GENERAL DESCRlIPTION ..............................................-.-.

    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 250 8th International Conference on Education, Management, Information and Management Society (EMIM 2018) Environmental Problems and Countermeasures for Sustainable Development in a Declining Mining City Tongchuan Zhao Aning*, Wang Jianhui, Chen Huaqing and Zhang Jianghua 1Xi’an Center of China Geological Survey, Xi’an, 710054, China [email protected] * The corresponding author Keywords: Declining mining city; Tongchuan; Environmental problems; Countermeasures Abstract. Tongchuan is a resource-based city with coal, cement and clay minerals production. The development of mining industry has made a great contribution to the social and economic development of the city. With the depletion of mineral resources, the city faces two kinds problems: First, for a long time of mineral resources exploitation, the natural landscape has been deeply damaged, and many problems such as forest vegetation destruction, environmental pollution and geological disasters have greatly increased; the second is economic growth of mineral resources industry began to decline. So this city needs the alteration of industrial structure, and a large number of labor transfer. In this paper, we explained the types of serious environmental problems caused by mining development based on Tongchuan mine geological environment survey. Accordingly, we discussed the countermeasures of mine geological environment governance and the sustainable development of the economy. Introduction Tongchuan is a medium-sized mining city with resource development as its pillar industry and its coal resources have been mined for thousands of years. Since 1955, the cumulative production of raw coal has reached 360 million tons. The historical subjects are invested by the state and the production profits are benefit to the state, which has made important contributions to the national construction and local economic development.

Taking three geomorphological units in different parts of the loess as test areas and 5 m-resolution DEMs as original test date, this paper employed the changed ROC-LV (Lucian, 2010) in judging the optimal scales in the slope segmentation process. The experiment results showed that this method is effective in determining the optimal scale in the slope segmentation. The results also showed that the slope segmentation of the different geomorphological units require different optimal scales because the landform complexity is varied. The three test areas require the same scale which could distinguish the small gully because all the test areas have many gullies of the same size, however, when come to distinguish the basins, since the complexity of the three areas is different, the test areas require different scales. Keywords: Optimal Scale; Multiresolution; Slope Segmentation; Loess Plateau 1. Introduction reproducible, readily adaptable for diverse landscapes and datasets. However, the limitation of this method is that it Quantificational analysis of loess terrain is a key subject request specify the scale level.

Different characteristics of public service facilities on each level determine their different influence factors and take effect on the land use intensity index of the corresponding level, thus affecting the determination of the block floor area ratio. Based on this, this paper proposes a method to determine the land use intensity in regulatory planning under the re- striction of public service facilities and completes the test in practice, which may provide a reference for determining the land use intensity in regulatory planning.
