Project Descripton 1.1 Project Background To speed up the urbanization of Linshui County, improve and establish a modern, comprehensive urban transportation system that is safe, convenient, efficient, clean and economical, and provide better educational and environmental conditions, Guang'an plans to apply for a loan from the World Bank to implement the “Guang’an City”. Bank loans medium-term adjustment program - the territorial waters of sub-item "(hereinafter referred to as" the project "), the project intends to draw on the Bank's advanced traffic management experience, strengthen urban traffic management, improve urban infrastructure in order to achieve the goals of sustainable urban development, Improve the livability level. The project consists of two parts, namely, the new Campus of Lingshui County Vocational Middle School in Economic Development Zone and the rehabilitation of roads and associated underground drainage network in Linshui Economic and Technical Development Zone (Linshui ETDZ). Among others, the newly established Economic Development Zone Campus of Linshui County Vocational Middle School covers an area of 44,430.41m2, with a total construction area of 40,194.72m 2 and designed for a total of 1,346 students. The campus will be built with a teaching building, a training building, a dormitory, a canteen and other ancillary facilities. The 4 project has an investment of 258.7223 million yuan. The road and drainage network rehabilitation project in Linshui involves four roads of Yulin Avenue (Feimu Road ~ Huancheng Road), Dafosi East Road (YuCheng Rd.~G210), Sanhe Road (Dafosi East Road ~ Jindexing Road), Zhongke Road (G210~ Yianda Avenue) with the total length about 6321m, the new rainwater pipeline of 5400m and the new sewage pipeline of 6900m. The project investment is 137.963 million yuan. Both projects will be sited within the Economic and Technological Development Zone of Linshui County, and the construction unit is Linshui County Yuanfeng Industrial Development Co., Ltd. According to the “Catalogue of Classified Management of Environmental Impact Assessment of Construction Projects”, the project should prepare an environmental impact report form. At the same time, according to the "Environmental Protection Law of the People's Republic of China", "Environmental Impact Assessment Law of the People's Republic of China" and other relevant laws and regulations, the construction unit entrusted our company to undertake the preparation of the environmental impact report form of the project. The evaluation will analyze and evaluate the environmental impact of the project construction based on engineering analysis and project characteristics and propose measures and recommendations to prevent and mitigate adverse impacts. At the same time, through the environmental impact assessment of the project, it provides a scientific basis for the environmental protection administrative department's environmental decision-making, environmental supervision and project environmental management. In addition, the EIA report form was also prepared in accordance with the World Bank’s safeguards policies. 1.2 Overall concept on Project EIA (1) The project involves road maintenance and school construction. The road maintenance is mainly to repair the damaged road pavement and to lay the rain and sewage pipelines, but involving no widening of existing roads and no increase of traffic flow after project implementation. At present, Linshui ETDZ is fully occupied by the enterprises. According to the monitoring results, the traffic volume basically reaches the design flow, and there are mainly factories and enterprises along the roads; the separate sewer system is not anticipated with discharge of pollutants into the environment during the operation period; therefore, the EIA will will focus on the impact assessment of the proposed school during operation; however, the impacts of road project on ambient air and acoustic environment during operation will not be predicted, instead, the monitoring results for this EIA will be used to explain the operational impacts of road project on ambient air and acoustic environment. (2) This medical office under the school project is only for colds, fever and trauma treatment, and only disposable medical equipment will be used without the generation of medical waste. The medical waste to be generated mainly includes disposable medical equipment, infectious waste such as waste cotton swabs and waste gauze used for trauma treatment, traumatic 5 medical waste such as disposable needles, and drug-induced medical waste such as expired drugs. Therefore, this EIA will not assess the impacts of medical wastewater, but only focus on the impacts of medical waste. (3) The experiments to be carried out in the training building of this school project are mainly physical tests on the service life, abrasion resistance and compression resistance of automotive parts and materials. No chemical experiment will be carried out, no chemical reagents will be used, and there will be no emission from the experiments. 1. 3 Necessity of project construction 1.3.1 Necessity of New ETDZ Campus for Linshui Vocational Middle School (1) Adapting to the needs of the development of vocational middle schools in Linshui County Linshui County Vocational Middle School is a nationally key vocational middle school, Sichuan Provincial Key Professional School, Sichuan Re-employment Training Base, Sichuan Provincial Labor Development Base, Sichuan Computer Rank Examination Test Center School, and established “National Vocational Skills Identification Station”. ". Existing vocational building area 39960 m2 (60 mu), the building area 54000 m 2 (including dormitory teacher). There are 212 faculty members, including 76 senior teachers, 51intermediate teachers, 81 professional teachers, and 66 "double- skilled" teachers. There are 65 teaching classes and 3,000 students in the school. The existing school building area can only accommodate more than 1600 people according to the medium vocational construction standards. At present, it has been seriously overloaded. The school has machinery (including machining technology, mold design and manufacturing, CNC technology applications, automotive applications and maintenance), information (including computer applications, computer network technology, computer animation technology), electronics (including

However, few recent studies in English have focused on the participation subject, scope, ways, and procedure in the EDM of developing countries such as China in the worldwide governance transformation. This study aims to provide an overview of public participation in EDM in China, thus elucidating both the legislation and practice of public participation in EDM in China to a broader audience, as such an overview has not yet been provided. At the beginning of this article, we clarify the key definitions of EDM, public participation and the public, and establish an analytical framework for analyzing public participation in EDM in China. We analyze the scope of the public, the participation scope, ways of participating, and participation procedure in EDM in legislation and practice, through document analysis and empirical survey. We then comment on challenges for public participation in EDM in China—including low public participation in EDM, narrow scope of participation, unbalanced ways of participation, and unreasonable participation procedure.

In this study, the combination of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) based isoflavone profiling with multivariate analysis was used to screen specific soybean germplasms from Southwestern China, and simultaneously to investigate the influence of genotype, the geographical environment and the germplasm community size on isoflavone biosynthesis. A total of 144 soybean germplasms were evaluated for 12 isoflavones, which varied markedly due to genotypes and locations. Partial least squares analysis (PLS) results exhibited little variability among the 144 samples of four different locations. Five samples were separated from other genotypes based on the first PLS principal component that had high isoflavones. Daidzin, genistin, malonyldaidzin, malonylgenistin and acetylgenistin were the discriminating metabolites. Later the bidirectional orthogonal projection to latent structures- discriminant analysis (O2PLS-DA) was applied for geographical determination of five specific germplasms samples.

  • Land Protection in Practice I
    Changbaishan Nature Reserve, Jilin Province. Photo by Shen Xiaohui PART 3: LAND PROTECTION IN PRACTICE I. Tools & strategies As Part 1, Lay of the Land, describes, China is a mega-diverse country and is home to more than 10% of the world’s plant and animal species. At the same time, biodiversity is under increasing threat from the rapid conversion of China’s rural countryside. With no sign of growth slowing, effective land protection is becoming progressively more important to the persistence of the country’s, and the world’s, wealth of biodiversity. Fortunately, China has a history of land protection efforts. Two thousand years ago, the Qin Dynasty (221-207 BCE) protected mountains for imperial hunting grounds (Xu & Melick, 2007). More recently, in the 1920s the government began establishing scenic areas, and in 1956, the government designated the Ding Hushan Nature Reserve in southern China’s Guandong Province as the country’s first official protected area. Today, protected areas (particularly nature reserves) are the most widely-recognized and most frequently applied means for protecting land in China. They are not, however, the only means. While China boasts a relatively extensive protected area network, there is general acceptance that it is not effectively conserving the full suite of species and ecosystems that represent the nation’s biodiversity. In the mid-1990s and in response to becoming a signatory to the Convention on Biological Diversity, China developed a Biodiversity Action Plan that recognized the inadequacy of the protected area system at that time (Ministry of Environmental Protection, 1994). Expanding on and updating the first plan, the government released a second national plan in 2010: The National Biodiversity Conservation Strategy and Action Plan (2011-2030).
