Off Of Environmental Cost Accounting And Its Information Systems In Regional Socio-economic Development And Resource Development Research

Gross Domestic Production(GDP) refers to the sum of final product and service value,produced and provided by all constant units in a national or local scope accounting system within certain period.It is important indicator for weighting the economic and social progress of the country or a region.However, the traditional GDP calculation system neglects the cost of natural resources and the environment.The obvious limitation of the system that takes product and service market value in exchange as the only assessment criteria,results in the false increase of the GDP indicators.Modification of the system is therefore urgently needed.Green GDP theory and calculation methods development is just such kind of efforts.Establishing green GDP calculation system for Guanzhong region is directed at sustainable natural resources and environmental management in the province with the aid of economic instrument.On the basis of detailed discussions on green GDP theory and calculation methods,the present paper constructed green GDP calculation model for Guanzhong region by taking into consideration of the local environment and natural resources of the region.A case study then was made with relevant data from economic statistics for the year 2001 to 2008 for Guanzhong region.Proper calculation method was employed in the case study in view of the completeness and reliability of the data available. Through deep, scientific and comprehensive research, the following results and conclusions are obtained:(1)In the process of using green GDP calculation model to analysis Guanzhong region,the contents of the calculation was more widely,the resources and environmental values estimation methods and a variety of parameters selections were in line with the actual situation in Shaanxi province.So,the calculation results can be basically shows off the quality of economic growth in the region and its resources and the environment and the quantitative relationship that exists between.(2)Through empirical analysis, the value of the depletiong of natural resources and environment over the years have been received of Guanzhong region,initialy calculate the green GDP of the region,and adjusted the traditional GDP over the years.(3) According to the calculation results amended the traditional GDP indicators in order to test the effect of the calculation framework, and analyzed the coordination of resources and the environment and economic development conditions of the Guanzhong region. The study reveals that the value of depletion of mineral resources in the period 2001-2008 is the average total depletion of natural resources on the total value of the green GDP:993.32×108yuan 680.28×108 yuan,1341.37 ×108yuan,1844.60×108 yuan,2174.19×108 yuan,2358.06×108 yuan,3092.31×108 yuan,3883.24×108 yuan。the value of depletion of mineral resources in the period 2001-2008 of GDP: 18.98%,48.45%,18.25%,6.64%.7.2%,12.06%,6.37%,6.49%; the value of environment depletion(4)In view of the fact that many loss's calculation methods is difficult to apply, certain data is not available and part of environmental value is hard to monetize, the present paper didn't try estimation of the loss from land degradation and water environment degeneration as well as environmental pollution loss(health damage from air pollution and water pollution).In this context the natural resource and environmental cost estimated in the present study is believed lower than the actual loss of natural resources and the environment of Guanzhong region. If all natural resources and environmental losses were taken into account,apparently the resource use efficiency of Guanzhong region would be even lower.(5)Based on the comparative analysis of several major GIS software secondary development methods,the article analyzed the advantage of component-based GIS development methods and introduced the ArcEngine development component of ESRI's ArcGIS products.Then integrated the ArcEngine development component into the C# development environment,the author designed and developed Guanzhong Green GDP Caculation information system,and realized some functions,such as the data query, update of the GGDP caculation data and thematic maps control functions.Guanzhong region green GDP calculation model constructed in this papei is considered a valuable attempt in the national efforts of green GDP accounting technological adaptation and consolidation in China.Although the green GDP calculation model designed in this paper is incomplete,it can still reflect the impacts of economic growth on natural resources and the environment,reveal the nature of economic growth of Guanzhong region,and provide valuable information for future economic development planning and policy making as well as environmental and natural resources planning and programming.
