鄱阳湖地区城市资源环境与经济协调发展评价

During the rapid development of economy and urbanization in Poyang Lake Area in Jiangxi Province, resource environment begins to play a more and more important role in promoting the economy. Establishing Poyang Lake Ecological Economic Zone is a major measure to promote the development of Jiangxi Province and to protect ecological resource environment in this area. Based on this background, this paper has established a comprehensive appraisement index system of resource environment quality and urban economic development level. It has evaluated the quality of resource environment and the urban economic development in 6 cities (Nanchang, Jingdezhen, Jiujiang, Xinyu, Yingtan and Fuzhou) in Poyang Lake Area by using principal component weighting method and fuzzy subjection function method. All of the data came from Jiangxi Province's Statistical Yearbook and Statistical Bulletin on National Economy and Social Development of City in 2008, 2009 and 2010. Besides, this paper has introduced computation models of harmonious degree and harmonious development degree to better evaluate resource environment and urban economic development in those 6 cities. The results show that there is a big difference in harmony between them. Nanchang belongs to the type with well harmonious development but lagged resources. Xinyu belongs to the type with barely harmonious development and lagged resources. Jingdezhen and Jiujiang belong to the type with barely harmonious development and lagged economy. Yingtan and Fuzhou belong to the type with damaged economy and moderately-uncoordinated decline. According to the above conclusions, we put forward the following suggestions to promote the development of urban resource environment and economy in Poyang Lake Area: Nanchang, as the core of regional ecological economy, should strengthen its leading role; Xinyu should adjust the development model to build ecological industry which cannot sacrifice resources and environment; Jingdezhen should use the reputation of the town of china to develop its specific economy; Jiujiang may use its geographical advantage to develop modern logistics industry; Yingtan and Fuzhou should focus on how to use their outstanding resources to build themselves cultural and ecological cities.
