Measurement indicators and an evaluation approach for assessing urban sustainable development
Environment consumption patterns of Chinese urban households and their policy implications
In the last two decades, sustainable consumption has become one of the most important issues in global sustainable development. Rapid economic development in China has greatly improved people's living standards, but has also seriously damaged the environment. In this paper, material flow analysis and life-cycle assessment methods were used to analyze environmental consumption patterns of Chinese urban households. Results show that the total house…
Simulation of thermal effects due to different amounts of urban vegetation within the built-up area of Beijing, China
Urban heat islands (UHI) are a common phenomenon in most cities, and one of the most effective ways to mitigate UHI negative effects is with urban vegetation. This paper uses the mono-window algorithm for retrieving land surface temperature (LST) based on remote-sensing data, and simulates thermal effects in five situations, using different amounts of urban vegetation within the built-up area of Beijing. Our analyses indicated that the computed N…
Comprehensive urban planning and management at multiple scales based on ecological principles
Rapid urbanisation and serious environmental problems have led people worldwide to realise the significance of urban planning and management towards a sustainable environment. Beijing was used as a case study to develop a framework and strategies for sustainable development using ecological principles. At the regional level, Beijing-Tianjin agglomeration and Hebei Province are considered together. At the Beijing administrative level, some importa…
Key natural impacting factors of China’s human population distribution
Beijing environmental sustainable development from 1983 to 2003
Ever since the Earth Summit was launched at Rio de Janeiro, research has been done on the problems of developing indices for the health of the environment and for its sustainable development. However, this research has concentrated more on national and regional levels than on local levels, more on spatial comparisons than on time series analysis, more on short-term than on long-time analysis, more on qualitative than on quantitative analysis. In …
Temporal and spatial assessment of natural resource use in China using ecological footprint method
China has about 20% of the world's population. With rapid economic development and substantial population increase, China is now faced with severe conflicts between limited natural resources and increasing resource requirements. In this study, we used the ecological footprint method to assess the resource demand and supply conditions of each land use in China between 1978 and 2003. In order to provide insight into the spatial heterogeneity of res…
A GIS-based moving window analysis of landscape pattern in the Beijing metropolitan area, China
Quantifying landscape pattern and its change is essential for monitoring and assessment of ecological consequences of urbanization. Using the GIS-based land-use data for 2002, we combined moving window analysis along an urban-rural gradient and around the urban centre with landscape metrics to quantify the spatial pattern of urbanization in Beijing. The results of moving window analysis along the urban-rural gradient indicated that, for class-lev…
Comprehensive concept planning of urban greening based on ecological principles
Urban forest in China
Urban forest is a very important part of urban ecosystems and provides significant ecosystem services. It benefits urban communities environmentally, aesthetically, recreationally and economically. This article reviews the development status, development patterns and influencing factors of urban forest in China. There are four typical development patterns of urban forest in China: the forest city, garden city, ecological economics and forest gree…
Metabolism and Driving Forces of Chinese Urban Household Consumption
Eco-city Development in China
Fog drip and related microclimatic factors were measured between January 1999 and December 2002 at a tropical seasonal rain forest in Xishuangbanna, South-West China. During the study period, the annual average fog drip was 89.4 +/- 13.5 mm (mean +/- 1SD). Fog drip contributes an estimated 5'% of the annual rainfall, with 86% of the fog drip occurring in the dry season (November-April). Annual fog drip was negatively correlated with annual rainfa…
