The Yangtze River Delta region is one of the most rapid economic development areas in China. In fact, its economic growth still contains extensive features, which constrain economic sustainable development and international competition improvement of this region. Due to its inherent problems, extensive growth is unsustainable, while intensive growth contains sustainable development meaning and possesses...
According to the hypothesis of Romer(2001), this paper computes the growth drag of land, water and energy resource are 0.00651, 0.00167 and 0.00883, respectively. The total growth drag of China is 0.01701, it means that economic growth of China each year reduce 1.701% due to the limit of land, water and energy resources annually. The existence of growth drag of energy and water shows that the part...
Economy has kept in fast increasing in the past decade in Shandong Province. The boosted economy is companied with the rocked up of energy consumption. Energy shortage is becoming the significant limiting factor for further economic development of Shandong. Combined with the trend of economic development, current situation of energy consumption, progress in industrial restructuring and other related...
From the view of the relationship between energy consumption rate and the scientific and technological progress, industrial structure, energy consumption structure and environmental protection, this article set up a model of energy consumption rate of the evolution of Dalian with the application of complex adaptive systems theory. The use of emissions equivalent calculation method makes the calculation...
Proliferation in the growth and use of new technologies is making radical changes to our society and generating a major change in human behaviour. Accelerated production of e-technologies is creating not only new exciting advances but also a darker side where there are major issues of sustainability. Owing to the exponential growth in the development of new e-technologies and mobile devices, the demand...
Traditional technological progress-based sustainability concepts tend to overestimate the potential saving effects. Efficiency improvements also affect the demand for resources and energy, sometimes, it can cause an increase in resource use, this is the connection effect. This paper provides an overview of some of the studies that confirm the existence of the connection effect, presents expansions...
