“…Yu, Han, & Cui, 2015). In addition, the discourse on effective assessment indicators has led to the development of comprehensive indicator systems (e.g., Pilouk & Koottatep, 2017), particularly in China (Geng, Zhang, Côté, & Fujita, 2009;Liu, Lü, Zhang, & Shi, 2014). Quantitative articles (modeling and performance) have composed approximately 30−45% of articles published per year since 2010.…”

Previous bibliometric analyses of industrial symbiosis (IS) research have focused on a limited body of literature owing to the scope of keyword searches or limitations of library databases. This study seeks to apply bibliometrics to explore broader, epistemological questions, particularly about the structure and geospatial development of IS as a sub-field of industrial ecology. We also evaluate the benefits of using Google Scholar, in addition to the conventional databases Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus, for better understanding academic domains. By using WoS and Scopus, 805 articles on IS that met our criteria were identified, published in 212 journals from 1995 through 2018.On average, the cumulative number of relevant articles grew at an exponential rate of 18% per year-more than double the estimated growth of global scientific output.We observed the largest increases in articles that: (1) model the material and energy flows in IS clusters; (2) propose strategies and ideas for implementing symbiosis; and(3) evaluate the performance of IS networks. By the end of 2018, 54 countries were featured in IS articles retrieved from WoS and Scopus, with China as the single most studied country. The analysis of Google Scholar suggested that it can capture more IS articles than the conventional databases owing to its unique characteristic of searching the entire text of documents rather than solely their metadata as with WoS and Scopus. Google Scholar revealed IS discourse from additional countries and disciplines previously omitted, enabling a more acute view of its patterns of diffusion.

“…These parks exemplify a spatial agglomeration of industrial symbiosis, wherein co-operation and synergy effects, previously centered on technical solutions, transition to encompass social networks, interenterprise, and community relationships due to their geographical proximity [17]. Hence, EIPs transcend mere industrial symbiosis networks, evolving into composite ecosystems that encompass natural, economic, and social subsystems [18]. In China, amid the ongoing urbanization process, numerous industrial parks are progressively transforming into emerging urban zones.…”

Applicability of the International Framework for Eco-Industrial Park in China—Survey and Analysis Based on 17 Case Parks in Jiangxi Province

Eco-industrial parks, as complex ecosystems at the regional scale, involve multi-dimensional interactions in terms of management, environment, economy, and society in their development. Given their complexity, it is difficult for a single indicator to comprehensively assess their sustainable development status. To promote sustainability and inclusive development of industrial parks, the World Bank Group published “the International Framework for Eco-Industrial Park” as a green evaluation benchmark. This paper examines the applicability of this framework in Chinese industrial parks, focusing on 17 cases in Jiangxi Province supported by the China-Jiangxi Eco-Industrial Parks Project. This study analyzes the indicator composition of the international EIP framework and compares it with the standardization system of eco-industrial parks in China. Through questionnaire surveys and dialogue interviews, this paper analyzed the compliance, practicality, and necessity of implementing the international EIP framework. Quantitative assessment using the analytic hierarchy process and the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model revealed that the framework is well suited to Chinese conditions, scoring over 80, reaching the “applicability level”. This research provides a scientific basis for park management, advocating for international concepts in park development. It also underscores the importance of a comprehensive framework for park construction, intelligent management strategies, and enterprise empowerment, collectively contributing to sustainable park development and enhanced international competitiveness.

Taking Stock of Industrial Ecology

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Industrial symbiosis, a subfi eld of industrial ecology, engages traditionally separate industries and entities in a collaborative approach to resource sharing that benefi ts both the environment and the economy. This chapter examines the period 1989-2014 to "take stock" of industrial symbiosis. First, we look at the earliest days to discuss what inspired industrial symbiosis both in the scholarly literature and in practice. Next, we draw attention to certain dilemmas and sharpen the distinctions between industrial symbiosis and some related concepts such as ecoindustrial parks and environmentally balanced industrial complexes. With regard to dissemination of industrial symbiosis ideas, we found that at the country level, China has now received the most attention in industrial symbiosis academic research and this continues to grow rapidly.The fi nal section looks at both theory (conceptual knowledge largely from academia) and practice (on-the-ground experience of public, not-for-profi t, and private organizations working to implement industrial symbiosis) as both are essential to industrial symbiosis. A bibliometric analysis of the scholarly work, capturing 391 articles indexed in Scopus and Web of Science for 20 years between 1995 and 2014, is used to defi ne and track the types of articles, how the mix of articles has changed over time, and what the most popular journals are. Taking a closer look at the research literature, distinct themes are identifi ed and discussed such as the scale of industrial symbiosis, whether industrial symbiosis is based on planning or selforganization, the role of social factors, and what is known about the actual performance of industrial symbiosis. To assess important issues with regard to practice, we compile a list of industrial symbiosis-related events from database searches of reports, media, and key consulting and business organizations and examine trends, mechanisms, and motivations of industrial symbiosis practice by surveying key practitioners and academics.
