人类学视角:文化调适的相对性——对华北农业可持续发展的再思考

文化的调适使人类能够在演化过程中生存,并在不同的环境中扩张。但文化的调适在特定的环境里具有相对性:文化在某一系列环境中是适应的,或在短时期内是适应的,却在另一系列环境中是不适应的,或在长时期内是不适应的。从文化人类学的角度,回顾与探讨华北地区农业文化调适环境的状况以及存在的非生态的文化调适,重新思考华北农业可持续发展的定位。     

浅析伊斯兰教的生态观

伊斯兰教认为人与自然界万物都是真主的造化物,两者地位是平等的,人类只是真主的"代治者".伊斯兰教在强调爱护自然、与自然界和谐相处的前提下,主张把握自然的本质和规律,通过对自然界进行合理的开发利用,为人类造福.同时,伊斯兰教也坚决反对狭隘的功利主义、反对只顾眼前利益而忽视人类的长远利益.这些主张均对增强环保意识、促进人类与自然的和谐发展、维护正常的生态环境具有极大的指导意义.     

论林业建设与贫困山区可持续发展

在广大乡村，特别是山区，林业对于乡村群众生活水平的提高和生活质量的改善起着重要作用。林业发展是山区经济发展的核心之一，是解决农村贫困问题的关键。针对贫困山区林业发展存在的问题，提出林业发展必须与山村经济发展要相互协调发展的途径。     

可持续发展观的内涵及其立法实践

“可持续发展观”的提出有着重要的国内和国际背景,反映了国内、国际社会的发展变化,是“三个代表”重要思想在新的历史时期的最新发展。科学发展观的核心原则“可持续发展原则”蕴涵着丰富的法理,突出表现在国内法、国际法尤其是国际环境法的立法实践中。     

可持续发展理论的经济学反思

由于可持续发展理论自身存在着一定的缺陷 ,使得这一理论在实践中实施效果不佳。在对可持续发展的概念、可持续发展与外部性的关系、生态成本等基本问题进行反思的基础上 ,提出在可持续发展的实施过程中要区分两类不同的问题。对于代内的现期环境问题可采取科斯手段与庇古手段来加强治理 ,而对于代际累积的生态问题则需要通过强化制度安排和政策引导来予以解决。     

国外生态税实践及其对我国可持续发展建设的启示

初步探讨了生态税在可持续发展中的作用,认为对于正在实施可持续发展战略的中国来说,课征生态税是实现这个战略的重要手段。     

The City of Saskatoon’s Local Area Planning Program: A Case Study

The City of Saskatoon’s Local Area Planning (LAP) Program is a community-based approach to developing comprehensive neighbourhood plans. In order to achieve sustainable and implementable Local Area Plans (LAPs), the City of Saskatoon has been using innovative methods of collaborative decision-making to engage citizens. The program has been recognized nationally by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities for demonstrating innovative approaches to citizen engagement in Sustainable Community Planning. A total of eight LAPs have been adopted by City Council and 212 recommendations have been approved, with 101 of these recommendations being completed, 71 currently in progress and 40 to be determined. Great strides have been made to implement the LAPs by allocating resources for coordinating implementation, working with communities, and for implementing the various recommendations. In addition, over 1,000 people representing various interests have participated in one or more LAP Committee or implementation meetings. Through this participation, partnerships have been formed, program and service delivery has been improved, and most importantly, communities have taken ownership of their plans. After completing eight LAPs, the LAP communities, City Council and city planners have felt the need to measure ongoing changes and progress in the LAP communities. In recognition of this, the City of Saskatoon’s City Planning Branch will be working with LAP communities, the Community-University Institute for Social Research (CUISR) and other stakeholders to develop a framework for statistically measuring changes in LAP communities and to monitor “Neighbourhood Success Factors”. The Neighbourhood Success Factors will work to detect serious socio-economic conditions before they reach a point of crisis. This paper will first describe the LAP Program before reviewing the proposed framework for statistically measuring changes in Saskatoon’s neighbourhoods.

地方政府土地管理模式更新——农民参与的视角

土地可持续发展是科学发展观的一项重要内容.作为与土地有着最为直接利益关系的农民,其参与土地管理决策不仅合情合理,而且对于维护自身利益和土地可持续发展具有双重意义.然而,当前地方政府土地管理模式中却存在着农民参与有效性不高的问题,这既损害了农民的合法权益,也对土地可持续发展造成负面影响.这一问题的解决需要地方政府进行土地管理模式的更新,即通过制度创新吸纳农民参与到土地管理决策中来.     

Role of informal sector recycling in waste management in developing countries

Many thousands of people in developing country cities depend on recycling materials from waste for their livelihoods. With the focus of the Millennium Development Goals on poverty reduction, and of waste strategies on improving recycling rates, one of the major challenges in solid waste management in developing countries is how best to work with this informal sector to improve their livelihoods, working conditions and efficiency in recycling.The general characteristics of informal recycling are reviewed, highlighting both positive and negative aspects. Despite the health and social problems associated with informal recycling, it provides significant economic benefits that need to be retained. Experience shows that it can be highly counterproductive to establish new formal waste recycling systems without taking into account informal systems that already exist. The preferred option is to integrate the informal sector into waste management planning, building on their practices and experience, while working to improve efficiency and the living and working conditions of those involved. Issues associated with integrating informal recycling into the formal waste management sector are discussed.     

产业集群持续竞争优势的动态能力分析视角

传统理论对于产业集群持续竞争优势的研究多是基于稳定或渐变的环境来分析的,因而在动态复杂环境下很难适用。动态能力理论是战略管理领域研究的一个前沿理论,它为我们解释动态复杂环境下的产业集群持续竞争优势问题提出了一个新的分析视角。
