Research On Deserticulture Cluster Based On Ecological Chain

Kubuqi Desert, as a special agriculture zone, locates in northern part of Ordos city, Inner Mongolia. With its vast deserts and the changeable natural environment, it becomes one of the most typical and representative regions in China’s arid and semi-arid areas. It is not only the ecologically fragile zone with the development of severe desertification, but also it is the ecological barrier for the northwest desert and the eastern agricultural of China, which is surrounded by the sediment of Yellow River on three sides and it is a production base of commodity grain and dust source area. After60years of governance, the control rate of Kubuqi Desert has reached23%and the desert tends to be stable. The development of sand industry driven by the desert control and ecological restoration is one of the basic experience and outstanding features for the control of Kubuqi Desert. Only through the development of desertculture rather than purely relying on the desert control, can we truly promote the prevention and control of desertification and further achieve ecological and economic win-win situation. The desertculture of Kubuqi Desert develops in a larger scale and in a better way. However, due to short desertculture chain, inadequate coupling mechanism, low level of industrialization, less industry gathering area, the high transaction cost, it is difficult to implement the scale economies and the recycling of scarce resources of the desert. With the gradual development of desertculture in the direction of the cluster, it is urgent to find a clustering model as the promotion and protection of the development of desertculture in order to achieve the overall transformation of specialized desertculture to the industry chain clusters.The paper, based on TM image data of Kubuqi Desert and the field survey data, divided and calculated land type, vegetation type and vegetation coverage of Kubuqi Desert, and by using the methods of ecological footprint and capacity analysis, SWOT analysis as well as the temperature index method to study the development conditions of industrial clusters. Finally, desertculture cluster and industry related degree of the Kubuqi desert are identified and measured by using the location entropy and gray correlation analysis.On the basis of the clusters development condition, clusters and correlation analysis, the paper established the development model of desertculture clusters which depended on the ecological network model, and by applying the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method to infer the main risk of sand industry clusters of the desert, such as natural environment risk, external competition risk and structural risk. The paper takes the related areas and enterprises as examples and presents specific methods to the risk control and prevention of sand industry clusters.The paper provides the theoretical basis for guiding the Kubuqi Desert cluster development.Studying on desertculture cluster of the Kubuqi desert, the paper reached the following main conclusions:(1)The real method to achieve the prevention and ontrol of desertification is development of desertculture, and further to achieve ecological and economic win-win situation. Instead of relying solely on control, developing desertculture becomes the main direction of controlling Kubuqi desertification;(2) Through decades of development, the ecological environment of Kubuqi desert gradually improved and achieved ecological surplus.(3)From May to August annually, Kubuqi desert is suitable for tourism because of its comfortable condition, therefore, we should promote desert tourism as desertculture;(4) The development of industrial cluster has become an important trend in the development of desertculture, coal mining and washing industry and tourism has already formed the desertculture clusters in Kubuqi. Chemical industry and food processing industry have a high correlation with other desertculture.Therefore,the development of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery industries can be driven through food processing industry;(5)Three kinds of desertculture cluster models include the industrial chain cluster model,cycling chain cluster model and symbiotic network model; (6) the main risks facing the Kubuqi desertculture cluster is the natural resources, external competition and structural risks;(7) to ensure the healthy development of the cluster, effectively avoid the cluster risk. Through the exploration of the mode of desertification, natural environmental protection for desertculture cluster development; explore the mode of competition, enhance the cluster external competitiveness; building desertculture structural risk, prevention.The main innovation of this paper lies in:through the analysis of Kubuqi Desert utilization present situation, take the TM image, by using the method of ecological footprint and ecological carrying capacity, clearly put forward the Kubuqi Desert has ecological surplus, be suitable for desertculture; puts forward the pattern of desertculture cluster based in industrial chain network; The paper choose the typical desert to research, systematic and quantitative.It make up for the deficiencies of previous research in this area, and provides a theoretical basis for guiding the Kubuqi desert desertculture cluster development.
