China's dusty lung crisis
A critical examination of the consumption‐based accounting approach
A series of studies has recently used emissions embodied in net imports (EENI) to argue for the consumption‐based accounting ( CBA ) approach. These publications have been generating much attention from the media and academia for ‘providing an opportunity to inform effective climate policy’. However, policymakers must be cautious when considering if CBA can be used to replace or just to supplement current practice of production‐based accounting (…
Environmental poverty, a decomposed environmental Kuznets curve, and alternatives
Where in the World of Sustainability Education is US Geography
This paper investigates latest developments in sustainability studies, sustainability education and geography's place in sustainability education, with a focus on the USA. The investigation draws on latest information on sustainability education, from a survey of the 29 sustainability degree programs in the USA and interviews with the program directors and faculty and data from the Association for Advancing Sustainability in Higher Education and …
China's Population Trends and Their Implications for Fertility Policy
This research used spatial and comparative approaches to examine China's fertility trends, their positive and negative impacts on economic growth, and possible policy remedies to effectively deal with the challenges. The data were derived from the China 2000 Population Census, China Statistical Yearbook, the United Nations Population Database and the World Population Data Sheet of the Population Reference Bureau. By comparing China with other Asi…
National market location, income levels and urban–rural inequality in China
This article examines the relationship between market distance, inter-provincial income levels and urban–ruralincome inequality in China. It uses the curve estimation method to determine the best-fit models forthe relationship. Regions near the market are found to have high urban and rural income levels and lowurban–rural inequality. As distance increases, rural income declines faster than urban income, resultingin rising urban–rural inequality. …
A regional divide in sustainability performance in China
China had accredited 320 Eco‐Communities and 72 Model Cities by 2009. This paper uses these ‘sustainable places’ and their neighbors to examine spatial variations in sustainability performance and possible causes of such variations. Data were collected through personal interviews of 186 provincial and local environmental officials and researchers, in addition to review of governmental publications. This paper finds a regional divide in sustainabi…
Urban environmental performance in China
This paper explores a sustainability divide in urban environmental protection in China with its 72 Model Cities, 113 key cities, and 43 most polluted cities. It investigates factors that help understand such a divide, the applicability of the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC), and policies for sustainable urban development. Geographic information systems (GIS) and statistical analyses used data derived from documents, statistical records, publica…
Sustainability Efforts in China
In contrast to the common dismal view of China's environment, this article highlights local and national sustainability efforts in China and examines the location characteristics of China's Eco-Communities (Shengtai Qu), communities that achieved significant sustainability per the evaluation of the Chinese government. It explores what the Chinese experience implies to the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) concept in the context of nature–society …
Fertility trends in china's more developed urban districts
This research examines fertility trends in more developed urban districts in China, and provides empirical evidence which enhances our theoretical understanding of fertility. The research uses the study areas of Shanghai, Beijing, Changchun and Shenyang, with the assumption that these cities might provide insights into future fertility trends in China. Data were collected using survey questionnaires and face-to-face and telephone interviews. Part…
Labor Location, Conservation, and Land Quality
This paper applies von Thünen's land-use theory with approach to labor location to examine spatial patterns of conservation and land quality. It is based on long-term fieldwork in West Jilin, China, an area that suffers severe land degradation. Statistical data were collected in a four-year project from 1993 to 1997, involving 1,801 fields farmed by 307 families from twenty villages, and analyzed using correlation, regression, and analysis of var…
