An Empirical Research On The Enviormental Kuznets Curve In Weifang Binhai Economic Development Area

Since the beginning of the 1960s, the world's population and its total economy gained so rapid growth that the total scale of the resources dropped and the living environment of mankind worsened,the relation between environmental protection and economic development has become a sharp contradiction. More and more attentions were paid to the environmental degradations caused by the economy development. Two environmental revolutions have contributed to the further research on the relationship between the economy and environment in order to balance the economy development and environmental protection more effectively.These years, Weifang Binhai Economic Development Area has made great achievements in economic and social development while inevitably brought about environmental pollutions, ecological degradations and so on. At present, Weifang Binhai Economic Development Area in accordance with the requirements of the scientific outlook on development is speeding up the implementation of "protection along the Bohai bay, development around the Bohai bay" strategy to build aprosperous and civilized and harmonious modern international city. How to fulfill the harmonious development of the economy and the environment is important and urgent for further development. During my participation in "the research on the coordinated development between the development around the bay'strategy and the environment in Weifang Binhai Economic Development Area".It analyzed Binhai's environmental Kuznets curve and found its economic growth and environmental pollution were not fully consistent with the typical characteristics of EKC. The industrial waste water showed non-EKC characteristics while the industrial solid wastes and industrial emissions (include SO2 ) clearly showed the characteristics of cubic curves. Thus, Binhai, during the transition to the post-industrialization, has made great achievements in the industrial wastewater treatment. But the management of exhaust gases (include SO2 ) and industrial solid wastes has not been so successful, the management of COD has been so successful.Finally, this thesis presented the problems in the coordinating development and pointed out that the unreasonable growth mode, irrational industrial structure, failure to form a well-functioning recycle economy system contributed to these problems adversely. Based on the above analysis, reasonable and comprehensive measures are proposed to promote the coordinated development. In this paper, the study was conducted by applying qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis, combining theoretical analysis and empirical research and using relevant theories of both economics and environment planning.
