循环经济建设的生态误区、整合途径和潜势产业辨析

运用复合生态系统方法剖析了我国发展循环经济在规划、建设和管理上的各种右的和左的偏差,分析了认识上的个误区,提出了观念转型、体制改革和功能重组的循环经济建设大3R原则,探讨了产业转型的横向耦合、纵向闭合、功能导向、结构柔化、区域耦合、社会整合、能力组合、增加就业和人性化生产等9类生态整合途径,展望了当前循环经济建设中诸如化肥农药工业向农田生态系统保育业转型等10类复合型潜势生态产业.     

自然保护地社区生计转型与产业发展

良好的社区与自然保护地关系首先建立在社区生计的公平与可持续发展上。为促进社区认同、接受乃至参与自然保护地建设与管理，我国自然保护地管理逐渐重视社区利益，推动其生计转型发展与生态保护相协调。社区居民从事产业活动、进行生产经营、参与产业分工，是维持和改善生计的重要方式之一。研究采用质性内容分析方法，从不同研究视角、地理空间和政策背景的案例研究中提取自然保护地社区生计转型及其产业发展路径的内在逻辑，形成内容、激励机制、政策保障、结果、成败分析、发展对策六个核心范畴，以动因与形式、结果与原因来归纳总结前5个范畴的核心事实，根据发展对策提出自然保护地社区生计转型和产业发展原则，并结合国家公园特征和管理目标提出建议。研究表明，在社区层面协同保护与发展本质上来说是降低农户面临的自然、政策和市场风险的过程，生计可持续性和公平性双重目标可以通过产业生态化，产业部分替代或完全替代来实现。以产业发展带动生计转型具有经济、社会、文化多重效益，但其实现需要尊重本土文化，保障社区基本权利，多方参与协作，匹配和提升居民差异化能力。在国家公园体制建设中社区生计发展特别需要依托本地资源，对标市场需求，推进产业生态化，拓展传统产业功能，从自然和半自然生态系统的协同中寻求生态和文化价值向经济价值转化。     

旅游产业与生态文明城市发展协调关系的定量研究——以敦煌市为例

生态文明城市以人与自然的和谐发展为宗旨, 以集约利用资源, 保护环境为目标, 旅游作为城市转型和升级的新型产业, 与城市在社会、经济、环境、文化等方面均有不同程度的协调关系, 对两者之间的耦合关系及作用机制进行研究具有重要的理论和现实意义。本文运用耦合协调模型, 分别构建了旅游产业与生态文明城市系统的评价指标体系, 对敦煌市2003-2012 年间敦煌市旅游与生态文明城市系统的协调发展水平进行了实证分析。结果表明: (1)敦煌市旅游产业和生态文明城市的综合发展水平在研究期间稳步提高; (2)两个系统之间的耦合协调关系越来越好, 在2012 年达到初步协调阶段, 但改善程度并未呈现持续增长的态势; (3)两者之间的耦合协调度在2010 年之前基本上呈现旅游滞后和生态文明城市建设滞后交替演化的态势, 2010 年以后, 整体上呈现旅游产业引领生态文明城市建设。说明旅游产业对生态文明城市的引领作用存在较大的波动性, 生态文明城市的发展水平还不能较好的支撑旅游产业的发展。     

《生物多样性公约》企业与生物多样性全球平台的发展情况及对中国的政策建议

《生物多样性公约》(以下简称《公约》)是国际社会协力保护生物多样性最主要的公约, 也是中国参与和引领全球生态文明建设的重要平台。《公约》一直不断推动企业参与生物多样性保护的相关工作和国际体系建设。该国际体系主要包括两大支柱: 一是“企业与生物多样性全球伙伴关系”国际机制(Global Partnership on Business and Biodiversity, 以下简称GPBB机制); 二是“企业与生物多样性全球伙伴关系”资源平台(Global Platform for Business and Biodiversity, 以下简称GPBB平台)。前者是工作组织和资金机制, 后者是前者的技术支持和保障机制, 二者相辅相成, 协同增效。总体来看, 自1996年《公约》第三次缔约方大会(COP-3)以来, GPBB平台的相关概念和机制不断发展完善, 至今已形成了一个GPBB平台在线数据库, 可为我国推进相关工作提供技术支撑。通过梳理总结GPBB平台及其相关机制等的发展情况, 得出: (1)企业参与生物多样性保护的意愿及对GPBB平台的需求日益增强; (2)《公约》对企业参与的要求更加明确; (3)《公约》对如何促进企业参与生物多样性的路线图更加清晰; (4) GPBB机制已基本建立; (5) GPBB平台已基本完善。展望未来, GPBB平台发展将有望继续保持以下三大趋势: (1)平台建设力度将不断加强; (2)平台的影响将不断提升; (3)平台发展将向重点部门倾斜。目前, GPBB平台可提供相关最新研究成果、方法学、工具、自愿性标准和指引、简报、最佳实践案例等免费信息, 以及一系列项目实施过程中的企业参与机会, 以支持企业在决策和运营中纳入生物多样性, 并鼓励支持各国政府、企业、非政府组织和学术科研机构等多利益相关方共同参与、贡献与受益。中国自2015年正式加入GPBB机制后, 对各成员国的企业参与倡议开展了较为深入的研究, 为成立发起“中国企业与生物多样性伙伴关系”(CBBP)联盟倡议做出有益探索。但总体而言, 对GPBB平台的研究借鉴以及参与建设还有很多工作可做。我们建议: (1)在制度贡献方面, 应加强政策研究, 研提COP-15企业参与新决议草案; (2)在机制建设方面, 积极参与和逐渐引领GPBB机制建设, 协力支撑一带一路等中国倡议; (3)在人员保障方面, 加强人才队伍建设, 提升引领能力; (4)在GPBB平台方面, 加强研究借鉴和技术参与, 为GPBB平台建设提供技术支持。

基于GIS的产业生态学研究述评

产业生态学由于缺少关于空间分析的工具,使得研究结果因缺乏空间维度信息而影响对管理效率和精准度的支持。基于GIS的产业生态学相关研究已成为产业生态学研究的一个新的方向。为总结已有的研究成果并展望未来的研究方向,运用文献计量及对比分析的手段,系统分析了国内外基于GIS的产业生态学的相关研究进展,得出以下结论:当前基于GIS的产业生态研究主要集中在物质代谢、产业共生和生命周期评价3个方面,将GIS技术引入到物质代谢研究中,可以更好的展示物质代谢的时空分布格局,为物质代谢研究提供了一种新的方法;基于GIS技术,不仅可以更加高效地挖掘潜在的产业共生机会,还可应用于生态产业园的规划管理如企业的选址、空间布局等以及废弃物的回收再利用方面;将GIS与LCA耦合在一起,可以很好地补充、完善和管理传统数据,有助于探索产品、活动或工艺的环境影响的空间特性以及进行土地利用相关的环境影响评价。另外,国内外研究的侧重点也不尽相同。在物质代谢研究中,国内研究较少,仅在城市尺度上进行了基础设施的物质代谢及其存量分析,国外在国家、城市尺度上研究了铜、锌等金属的物质代谢情况;在产业共生研究中,国内侧重于生态产业园的研究,而国外侧重于城市尺度的产业共生机会识别的研究;在LCA的研究中,国内开展了基于GIS的生命周期评价数据库和产品材料信息管理系统的研究,而国外侧重于进行区域化的生命周期评价、进行土地利用影响类型的相关评价以及污染物的追踪,国内在该方面尚处于起步阶段。国内外在研究方法上存在共性,都是基于GIS的空间分析方法、缓冲区分析方法以及数据库技术等。未来将GIS作为一个平台,面向产业转型展开产业生态学综合理论方法的研究,可以为产业的可持续性管理提供有效支持。     

中国三江源国家公园与韩国智异山国家公园的对比研究

自1967年智异山被认定为韩国首个国家公园以来,韩国以国家公园为主体的自然保护地体系建设已历经50余年。这期间韩国在国家公园的建设中积累了大量经验,十分值得我国借鉴。选取我国首个国家公园体制试点——三江源国家公园和韩国首个国家公园——智异山国家公园为研究对象,对二者的管理现状进行了定性分析,并运用基于最优实践的国家公园管理能力评价方法对二者的管理能力进行了定量评价。研究表明:三江源国家公园的管理能力综合得分低于智异山国家公园,在体制建设、保障机制、资源环境管理、社区管理和科普教育五个方面均与智异山国家公园存在一定差距;智异山国家公园在资源本底调查、法制建设、多方参与、环境教育和游憩管理方面的管理能力十分突出,为三江源国家公园管理能力的提升提供了有益借鉴;三江源国家公园在生态补偿和制度约束方面具有比较优势,但在自然资源权属、资源本底调查、社区组织建设和游憩管理方面则亟待提升。在此基础上,针对三江源国家公园建设提出了强化科研支撑、健全多方参与制度、推进全民福利共享三项建议,针对我国国家公园体制建设提出了制定《国家公园法》、设置自然保护地顶层规划两项建议,以期促进三江源国家公园管理能力提升、推动我国国家公园体制建设。     

雄安新区生态基础设施建设与城市发展协同度评价

雄安新区的建设目标是构建“绿色生态宜居新城区”,将城市发展与生态宜居并行。生态基础设施作为城市中提供生态系统服务的条件与过程,对构建绿色生态宜居新城区起到主要支撑作用。构建了生态基础设施建设与城市发展的指标体系。在现状分析的基础上,根据雄安新区规划文件,采用地区类比法等方法对生态基础设施建设与城市发展情况进行预测,以形态学空间格局分析(MSPA)模型处理得到的7类景观类型作为生态基础设施指标,并从人口、经济、产业、城镇化4方面构建雄安新区城市发展指标;其次建立耦合协同模型,分析2010、2015、2017、2025、2035、2050年6个年度雄安新区生态基础设施建设与城市发展的协同度水平。研究结果表明,雄安新区生态基础设施建设与城市发展在早期处于濒临失调状态,后续经过政策引导,雄安新区生态基础设施建设与城市发展协同程度逐渐提高,至2050年已达到良好协同状态。研究结果可为促进雄安新区生态基础设施建设与城市协同发展提供科学参考。     

生态城市建设评价指标体系构建的新方法——组合式动态评价法

如何建立科学严谨的评价指标体系一直是生态城市研究中学者们普遍关注的焦点问题。在以往的生态城市建设评价指标体系研究中,很少考虑各个城市的差异与地域特点,也带来了一系列的问题。针对这些问题,以生态城市建设地域类型划分结果为基础,提出了一种新的生态城市建设评价体系构建方法:组合式动态评价法。并以宜宾等城市为例,对该方法的具体应用进行了分析,探讨了其优缺点。研究结果表明,相对于现行的评价体系,组合式动态评价法具有合理性、动态性、灵活性、拓展性、综合性等优点;但也存在着数据要求较高、精度有待提高、管理难度较大等不足。随着我国生态城市建设数据的积累和管理体系的完善,组合式动态评价法有望为我国生态城市建设评价指标体系的构建提供一种更好的思路和方法。     

A pollution incident at a Qiaoxiang village in China: the role of migration in civic organization and political participation

Through an analysis of a pollution-based incident at Refinery-G in an infamous Qiaoxiang town in Fujian, China, this paper analyses how transnational migrants participate in and influence the public management activities in their hometowns. This paper underscores four factors driving civic and political participation that emerged during the revelation, resistance, negotiation and settlement of this incident: (1) the role of the ‘leisured’ villager; (2) the role of overseas Chinese in caring for the developmental path of their hometown; (3) the role of independent civic organizations; and (4) the role of the news media in shaping public opinion. Qiaoxiang's civic participation is both more active and more effective. With the development and globalization of modern communication technology and low-cost and convenient communication and transportation systems, it is possible for overseas migrants to influence public management activities in their hometown through civic organization and political participation.

Genomics: shifts in metaphorical landscape between 2000 and 2003

Modern biotechnology has been characterized by being surrounded by scientific and public debate and by interest conflicts. An early Danish debate and regulation has been criticized for inhibiting or retarding development and thus growth. Though much regulation and debate have been transferred to the European arena, their role and extension are still an issue. In this paper, the often anticipated innovation-inhibiting effects of regulation are questioned by giving an account of regulations and debates in Denmark. An account which includes the shifting positions of industry, the research community, environmental groups, regulators and other interest groups. The paper indicates that the regulatory measures, introduced as a response to public and interest group critique, have generally reduced industrial uncertainty and promoted industrial Danish biotechnology development. It is further found that regulation and debate changed the rate and direction of new biotechnology development, contributing to technology acceptance, without however ensuring it. The paper thus questions the caricatured assumptions in economics and industrial policy that regulation restrict techno-economic growth. The paper further states regulation and controversies to have contributed actively to the specific technology development, but also states the difficulties in setting radically different technology development agendas.     

Lessons learned from the introduction of genetically engineered crops: relevance to gene drive deployment in Africa

The application of gene drives to achieve public health goals, such as the suppression of Anopheles gambiae populations, or altering their ability to sustain Plasmodium spp. infections, has received much attention from researchers. If successful, this genetic tool can contribute greatly to the wellbeing of people in regions severely affected by malaria. However, engineered gene drives are a product of genetic engineering, and the experience to date, gained through the deployment of genetically engineered (GE) crops, is that GE technology has had difficulty receiving public acceptance in Africa, a key region for the deployment of gene drives. The history of GE crop deployment in this region provides good lessons for the deployment of gene drives as well. GE crops have been in commercial production for 24 years, since the planting of the first GE soybean crop in 1996. During this time, regulatory approvals and farmer adoption of these crops has grown rapidly in the Americas, and to a lesser extent in Asia. Their safety has been recognized by numerous scientific organizations. Economic and health benefits have been well documented in the countries that have grown them. However, only one transgenic crop event is being grown in Europe, and only in two countries in that region. Europe has been extremely opposed to GE crops, due in large part to the public view of agriculture that opposes “industrial” farming. This attitude is reflected in a highly precautionary regulatory and policy environment, which has highly influenced how African countries have dealt with GE technology and are likely to be applied to future genetic technologies, including gene drives. Furthermore, a mistrust of government regulatory agencies, the publication of scientific reports claiming adverse effects of GE crops, the involvement of corporations as the first GE crop developers, the lack of identifiable consumer benefit, and low public understanding of the technology further contributed to the lack of acceptance. Coupled with more emotionally impactful messaging to the public by opposition groups and the general tendency of negative messages to be more credible than positive ones, GE crops failed to gain a place in European agriculture, thus influencing African acceptance and government policy. From this experience, the following lessons have been learned that would apply to the deployment of gene drives, in Africa:

It will be important to establish trust in those who are developing the technology, as well as in those who are making regulatory decisions. Engagement of the community, where those who are involved are able to make genuine contributions to the decision-making process, are necessary to achieve that trust. The use of tools to facilitate participatory modeling could be considered in order to enhance current community engagement efforts.

Trusted, accurate information on gene drives should be made available to the general public, journalists, and scientists who are not connected with the field. Those sources of information should also be able to summarize and analyze important scientific results and emerging issues in the field in order to place those developments in the proper context. Engagement should involve more opportunities for participation of stakeholders in conceptualizing, planning, and decision-making.

Diversifying the source of funding for gene drive research and development, particularly by participation of countries and regional bodies, would show that country or regional interests are represented.

Efforts by developers and neutral groups to provide the public and decisionmakers with a more thorough understanding of the benefits and risks of this technology, especially to local communities, would help them reach more informed decisions.

A better understanding of gene drive technology can be fostered by governments, as part of established biosafety policy in several African countries. Developers and neutral groups could also be helpful in increasing public understanding of the technology of genetic engineering, including gene drives.

Effective messaging to balance the messaging of groups opposed to gene drives is needed. These messages should be not only factual but also have emotional and intuitive appeal.

     

Density and potential utilisation of medicinal grassland plants from Abe Bailey Nature Reserve, South Africa

The Abe Bailey Nature Reserve, South Africa has been identified as a potential community resource reserve compatible with biodiversity conservation. As part of the planning and public participation phase this study investigated the potential for sustainably harvesting medicinal plants. Medicinal plant use data on local species, parts used and harvesting techniques, in collaboration with neighbouring traditional healers were collected. A census of these plants was conducted in the reserve and frequency, density and abundance were calculated. A medicinal plant rating system for assessing conservation priorities was used to combine both social-qualitative and ecological-quantitative data. Five medicinal species suitable for high impact harvesting were identified. Thirty-four species have potential to be set up as harvesting trials to determine sustainable quotas. Thirty-one medicinal species including Boophane disticha, Dicoma anomala, Eucomis autumnalis, Hypoxis hemerocallidea, Pentanisia prunelloides and Indigofera daleoides are considered to be site-specific sensitive species and should not be harvested from the reserve. Following this research an on site nursery has been started at the reserve. A multi-pronged approach involving harvesting trials, propagation and plant rescue from developments to cope with escalating demand and dwindling natural populations needs to be implemented.

干旱区绿洲城市树木健康评估及影响因素——以乌鲁木齐市为例

树木作为城市绿色基础设施重要组分,其健康直接影响城市生态系统服务及人居环境质量。城市化进程加快导致生态土地缺失,同时缺乏合理养护加之极端自然条件干扰对树木健康造成严重威胁。为揭示城市树木健康风险及影响因素,对乌鲁木齐市核心城区117个样地绿化树木进行健康评估,从4个维度12个指标构建树木健康分级体系,基于样地调查结果,分析树木组成、结构、关联性、健康状况及影响因素,揭示乌鲁木齐市不同功能区树木健康差异。旨在为研究区树木健康保护、城市绿地可持续经营及城市生态文明建设提供理论依据和数据支撑。结果表明：（1）乌鲁木齐市城市园林树木乔灌比为8.3 ： 1,树木多样性与种间关联程度较低。榆树占比高达43.87%,其中白榆占比22.62%,是主要优势树种;（2）不同树种健康程度呈现差异性,榆树类健康状况呈现圆冠榆 > 大叶榆 > 白榆 > 垂枝榆特征;（3）城市不同功能区树木健康也呈现异质性;以公园和居住小区树木健康分值较高,而行道树和学校庭院树木健康分值相对较低,且冗余分析进一步揭示地面铺装、林木配置结构、生长空间和胸径对树木健康影响程度最为显著。未来优化城市树木生境条件、提升物种丰富度、加强古树名木保育和提高园林绿化管理水平是维护和提升绿洲城市树木健康的重要举措。     

Attachment to Pets among Eighth Graders

Abstract

The Pet Attachment Survey (PAS) developed by the University of Minnesota's Center to Study Human-Animal Relationships and Environments (CENSHARE) and a demographic survey developed by the researcher were administered to eighth graders in two rural public schools and one urban public school in northern Utah during spring 1988. Gender and residence PAS scores were analyzed (N=490) utilizing a 2 by 2 analysis of variance (ANOVA) to determine significant differences in attachment to pet cats and dogs among urban and rural, male and female students. Results indicated that urban children were more attached to their pets than were rural children. However, there were no significant differences in attachment to pets between males and females. The demographic survey results (N=656) indicated that the most common demographic variable among the children studied was the experience of having a pet at some point in their lives. These findings indicated that pets were an integral part of pet-owning children's development that represent an important component in the construct of attachment.

University Tech Transfer 2.0: Strategies for getting more innovation from public universities

Public universities in America saw steep declines in funding during the last major recession in the ‘80s. As jobs disappeared and the tax base shrunk, state and local governments tightened their belts and cutback support for higher education and research. But even as legislators clamped down in some areas, they created opportunities elsewhere. Then, as now, new pieces of legislation were enacted to stimulate economic development, including the Bayh-Dole Act enabling universities to own the intellectual property emanating from government-funded research. The intent was obvious—technological invention would become the engine of economic development. And the fastest way to realize a return on investment of both public and privately supported research was to foster direct collaboration between scientists and business and industry. This new model gave birth to technology transfer operations within hundreds of U.S. public research universities.

Some tech transfer organizations have had more success than others. The most recent survey conducted by the Association of University Technology Managers, indicates that 11 of its roughly 200 member universities account for more than half of all the revenues generated from university patents, in licensing agreements and royalties. Why are some more successful than others? And, more important given the current fiscal crisis, what will it take for others to become more effective? Cell Cycle talked to leaders at three of the country’s most successful public university tech transfer programs for insights. Download the article.
