Sustainable Development of Industry–Environmental System Based on Resilience Perspective

Abstract

The contradiction between industrial development and ecological environment pressure has been becoming progressively severe. Under this circumstance, more attention has been paid to the balance between industrial economic development and environmental deterioration and resource consumption. Thus, this study takes the development of industry and ecological environment change as an interactive system consideration, and comprehensively evaluates the changes of the industrial-environment system on resilience perspective with innovation. Accordingly, this paper establishes a comprehensive evaluation model. The Environmental Performance Index (EPI) and Industrial Structure Entropy (ISE) were applied to analyze the current environment pressure and industrial conditions. Then, the catastrophe theory was used to evaluate the reasonably established index system for the impact of various factors in the industrial-environment system on the resilience change. Next, the adaptive cycle model was used to analyze the evaluation results and reveals the dynamic change law of the system in the resilience range. Finally, Chengdu was selected as the research area to verify the validity of the whole study. It was found that the resilient change process of Chengdu industry-environmental system accord with the four-stage theory of adaptive cycle model. The resilient level of the city was also improved during the cycle. The result of the study can be useful to future plans and decisions. What is more, understanding the characteristics of each stage will be helpful to determine the reasonable implementation time of each key factor and improve its feedback ability.

Development of Urban Waste Recycling Industry from the Perspective of Ecology

“…In the face of more and more urban domestic waste and construction waste, how to deal with and make good use of these wastes from the perspective of ecological and environmental protection has become an important issue to be considered for the green and healthy development of modern cities. From the perspective of ecology, gradually realizing the resource utilization, harmless treatment, and reduction development of urban construction waste and domestic waste is an e ective means to solve urban waste scienti cally and e ectively [2]. erefore, from the perspective of ecological and environmental protection, starting with the development status of modern urban waste recycling, this paper focuses on the operation model and development path of urban waste recycling industry.…”

Hacia un sistema de gestión ambiental como parte del marco regulatorio de las gasolineras en México

“…Para abordar el tema de prevenir o contrarrestar el deterioro ambiental y la sustentabilidad, se parte, por añadidura, del carácter multisectorial y sistémico de los temas ambientales; así como por la no-linealidad de determinados fenómenos productivos, ambientales y sociales. Así, se ha pasado por un largo proceso de identificación de problemas del detrimento ambiental antropogénico; pero finalmente se aceptó que, a mediano y largo plazos, se presentarían situaciones de deterioro que harían peligrar los equilibrios ecológicos y la salud humana, no solo en países industrializados (Wan et al 2020), sino además en países en vías de desarrollo semiindustrializados (Nadal 2007).…”

Opportunities for sustainability improvement in aluminum industry

“…13 Wan et al have used the concept of environmental performance index (EPI) and industrial structure entropy (ISE), which were applied to analyze the current environment pressure and industrial conditions. 14 Liu et al reported on a unit basis, a ton of aluminum production requires ∼126 GJ of energy. 15 In another study of Liu et al, 16 for the Henan province of China, 18 aluminum smelters were examined for energy efficiency in the alumina production process.…”
