ON SYSTEM ESTABLISHMENT AND OPTIMIZATION OF SUSTAINABLE EXPLOITATION AND UTILIZATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES
略论自然资源可持续开发利用系统的构建与优化

The paper discusses the basic connotations of the sustainable exploitation and utilization system of natural resources, component elements of the system i.e., subsystems including natural resources, exploitation and utilization, population, environment and economy as well as characteristics of the system in terms of integrity, comprehensiveness, levelness, regionality and dynamics. The guiding principles on overall coordinated operation and theory on resources exploitation concerning system establishment on sustainable exploitation and utilization of natural resources along with overall idea on allocation of regional development and strategic planning of the system are proposed. The following suggestions are raised: 1) to improve population quality, coordinate relationship between population and resources, and optimize combination of human resources with natural resources; 2) to tap new sources of supply and reduce consumption and set up resources economized national economic system; 3) to lay equal stress on exploitation and protection and establish environmental protection system centered around rational utilization of natural resources; 4) to increase input in science and technology, and put more emphasis on natural resources exploitation by means of science and technology; and 5) to establish an unified management organization ranging from macroscopic to microscopic in natural resources exploitation and utilization, and perfect policy and legal system concerning management.
