The Study Of The Transformation Of Resource-based Cities

Resource-based cities are those that rely on natural resources unique to the extractive industries and primary products processing industry as the pillar industry, a substantial portion of the city serving officers engaged in resource extraction and processing-related occupations, in which special mode, the city gradually developed. In the resource-based city, the life cycle of the industries are generally four stages: infant, growth, maturity and decline.Resource-based cities must take the road of sustainable development. The theory of sustainable development proposed with the development of human society, which is the history of plunder of natural history, environmental destruction on the history of our own lives. Witnessed by the history, mankind should be responsible for the environment, to be responsible for other types of biological, more important, we have to be responsible to our future generations. Over the past years in the face of over-exploitation of resources in cities, many cities facing the danger of a "dry city", many people face the threat of losing their homes, In order to get the limited economic benefits human being have been paid such a high price, so the transformation of resource-based cities and sustainable development are responsible for thought by every individual.Resource-based cities to realize Sustainable Development of resources, first, it is necessary for the cities to continue the development of alternative industry, and to optimize the economic structure. The second is to transform traditional industries and develop high-tech industries by the use of high technology. Third is to optimize the development environment, to strengthen international exchanges and cooperation. Fourth, strengthen the construction of ecological environment. Fifth, the government should play a guiding role. Sixth is to perfect the social security system of the resource-based urban.In accordance with the type of natural resources, oil city is a kinds of resource-based cities, which is depend on oil resources as the main basis for the construction or development, a industrial city depend on the exploitation of oil resources and processing industries as the leading industry. Songyuan is an oil town, it has the common features of resource-based cities, also has the typical characteristics of the oil city.Today's development and achievements of Songyuan city cannot separate with the exploiting of the oil, gas and other natural resources, resources is the biggest factor that formed the basis status of resource-based cities Songyuan. Therefore, the economic structure of Songyuan reflects the reliance on resources everywhere. This unique location and natural advantages create the most favorable development opportunity for Songyuan.Songyuan is a city built by resources. After decades of development, Songyuan City, has formed its own characteristic industries - oil, gas, mining industry. This city "built by the oil, because oil and health," it rised from the 20th century 60 years to 90 years. Firist, Dependent on oil and gas, songyuan , gradually built up a variety of extractive industries. These industries made an outstanding contribution to songyuan's urban construction. Resource-based cities of the production initially formed. Secondly, songyuan's development and expansion of the mining industry provides a large number of jobs. Largely solved the problem of employment of people in Songyuan. Also attracted a large number of other local residents. Thirdly, in songyuan, the industrial structure has been evolutioned. Gradually tilted to the secondary industry. Last, since 2003, songyuan city entered a phase of rapid economic growth. The total economic output nearly double-digit annual growth rate.At the same time, the major problem faced by Songyuan in industrial restructuring is the large proportion of secondary industry, and tertiary industry is developed too slow, it means over a single structure, which makes the development of Songyuan limited to the use of resources to drive economic growth, there is no continue power after the industry restructuring, no auxiliary power to create the city's GDP, and no driving force to improve the living standards of the people. Secondly, as resource-based cities, most rely on labor manual to create value. Many jobs required low level workers skills, so there is no strong motivation inspire the employees to reserve knowledge and skills, so the city lack of human resources, resulting in a leading force in the future development show a massive drain, this condition make adverse effects on the city transformation and the deepening development. Again, Songyuan City has the same characteristics with the other resource-based cities that most of the social security and welfare of workers led by the main industry to bear, so that the production pressure is too large, operating burden is too heavy, leading the development of enterprises lack vitality, and the re-employment of workers is very difficult. Finally, Songyuan, in the process of economic development, there are also environmental problems, Songyuan located in the unique geographical environment, how to maintain the environmental advantages, and taking clean production, became the attention focus of transformation of city. Above all, in Songyuan City, the number of secondary industry workers has been increasing, in the context of industrial restructuring, this did not produce substantive changes, which is detrimental to the optimization of human resources. Too much labor is concentrated in the secondary industry, also created a lot of pressure to the re-employment and Social Security of Songyuan.In order to promote the sustainable development of Songyuan, we must adopt the positive measures during resource-based cities rising and comprehensive promote the urban to transform. There are some Suggestions for the existing problems in industrial transformation:To sum up the main measures include playing the government's role in guiding the transition, adjusting the economic structure and changing the model of the industry development, for the more appropriate proportion of the industry, these will make contributions for the economic development of Songyuan city .Speed up constructing technology innovation system, continuing the vitality of the resources based cities, achieving of the oil resources for saving production and deepen production, so that will extend the time for benefits for the Songyuan city.Improve the investment environment, strengthening urban infrastructure construction, to provide the best guarantee of the quality of life for people and for the development of the industry so that economic prosperity will be built on a stable platform.Establishing a social security system to reduce the pressure of developing the resource-based industries, so that enterprises will be much initiative for the industrial transformation, that will be also benefit for the re-employment workers.Increasing investment in environmental protection should not only pay more attention on the transition of Songyuan City's economic development, but also the overall living environment of life so that building the the green cities is the same important as the resource-based cities . No matter how fast the theory move forward, Songyuan City should fully play their own superior forces to mobilize all the potential power in economic growth take the practice of road, take the road to sustainable development, science and technology, most important take the green energy-saving way. In short, in practice, testing of all resource-based theory of urban transformation. Eventually led Songyuan to a modern city in West Jilin Province, which has strong radiation ability, strong sustainable development ability, strong independent innovation ability, and to fullfill the long-term goals for sustainable development.
