PROJECT CONTEXT AND DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES A. CONTEXT AT APPRAISAL Context 1. China’s National Civil Airport Development Plan (2008) envisioned 244 civil airports by the end of 2020 to enable all provincial capitals, major cities, and major tourism destinations to be connected by a functional hub, trunk, and feeder airport network. More than 80 percent of the counties were expected to be within 100 km (1.5 hours by ground transport access) of an airport. During the Eleventh Five-Year Plan (2005- 2010), China’s civil aviation infrastructure had invested RMB250 billion (US$38 billion), which was equivalent to the combined investment of the previous 25 years. As of 2010, China had 175 civilian airports, of which 33 had been built in the previous five years. In July 2012, the State Council issued a document to encourage the development of China's civil aviation industry. The 12th FYP (2011-2015) had a goal of building 82 new airports by 2015 to increase China's airport network by nearly 50%. The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) was assigned the task to oversee expansion of China's airport network. 2. By 2013, China was the world’s second largest aviation market in terms of traffic volume, and air transport was the fastest growing mode of transport. The Government was increasing investment in building and renovating airports, especially feeder airports, and expanding its aviation network. The country was, nevertheless, faced with considerable challenges especially in the development of feeder airports and aviation services. Issues such as poor connectivity with regional airports, poor operational efficiency, and low utilization of feeder airports were restraining China from building a mature and efficient air transportation network. The number of feeder airports and feeder airlines were relatively small and geographical coverage was yet to be optimized. Besides, the provision

  • Research on the Relationship Between Green Development and Fdi in Jiangxi Province
    2019 International Seminar on Education, Teaching, Business and Management (ISETBM 2019) Research on the Relationship between Green Development and Fdi in Jiangxi Province Zejie Liu1, a, Xiaoxue Lei2, b, Wenhui Lai1, c, Zhenyue Lu1, d, Yuanyuan Yin1, e 1School of Business, Jiangxi Normal University, Nanchang 330022, China 2 School of Financial and Monetary, Jiangxi Normal University, Nanchang 330022, China Keywords: Jiangxi province, City, Green development, Fdi Abstract: Firstly, based on factor analysis method, this paper obtained the green development comprehensive index and its changing trend of 11 prefecture level cities in Jiangxi Province. Secondly, by calculating Moran's I index, it made an empirical analysis of the spatial correlation of FDI between 11 prefecture level cities in Jiangxi Province, both globally and locally. Finally, this paper further tested the relationship between FDI and green development index by establishing multiple linear regression equation. The results show that the overall green development level of Jiangxi Province shows a steady upward trend, but the development gap between 11 prefecture level cities in Jiangxi Province is large, and the important green development indicators have a significant positive impact on FDI. 1. Introduction As one of the important provinces rising in Central China, Jiangxi has made remarkable achievements in the protection of ecological environment and the promotion of economic benefits while vigorously promoting green development and actively introducing FDI. Data shows that since the first batch of FDI was introduced in 1984, Jiangxi Province has attracted 12.57 billion US dollars of FDI in 2018, with an average annual growth rate of 19.42%. By the first three quarters of 2019, Jiangxi's actual use of FDI amounted to 9.79 billion US dollars, an increase of 8.1%, ranking at the top of the country.

  • Sacred Landscape in Southern Song and Yuan Jizhou
    CHAPTER TWO SACRED LANDSCAPE IN SOUTHERN SONG AND YUAN JIZHOU The geographical focus of this book is on a part of Jiangxi province, one of the provinces of south-central China. In the north the Yangzi River forms its boundary; towards the south, east, and west, the province is hemmed in by mountain ranges. From these surrounding mountains several rivers spring forth that ow towards the Yangzi River in the north and drain in Lake Poyang 鄱陽, now the largest freshwater lake in China. Lake Poyang functions as an important over ow basin for the Yangzi River, and changes considerably in size during the course of the year depending on the levels of the river. The Gan, one of the largest tributary rivers of the Yangzi River and the province’s central river system, served as its most important transport system. It origi- nates in the south of the province and ] ows northwards for over 751 kilometres (see Map 2). Jiangxi’s lower mountains and hills as well as its river basins provide fertile arable land (over 65% of the province), much of which is given to paddy \ elds. The area’s sub-tropical climate and abundant surface water, combined with almost a full year’s growing season make the area ideal for rice cultivation, and most places annually produce two crops of rice. Other crops include tea, sugarcane, sweet potato, citrus fruit and \ brous plants (ramie and cotton). The mountains and hills were originally covered with evergreen and broad-leaf vegetation, when timber and pine resin were important products of the region, but more recently erosion has caused serious problems and the timber production has sharply declined.
