A Study on the Development Model of Tibet's Eco-industry

Abstract

With the dramatic economic development in Tibet, the carrying capacity of natural resources and eco-environment becomes the main factor restricting economic growth. Development of eco-industry is one of the effective ways to achieve coordinated and sustainable development of industrial economy and eco-environment. On the basis of industrial analysis, eco-industry and labor productivity comparison, and eco-environment coordination analysis, this article performs studies on the factors that affect the development of eco-industry in Tibet, including fragile eco-environment, unsound infrastructure, backward ecological economy and technology, and low level of economic development. Finally, this article puts forth three economic development models for the eco-industry with Tibet characteristics: eco-agriculture with plateau characteristics; industrial symbiosis in eco-industrial park; community participation-based ecotourism. Tibet's eco-industrial development is relatively backward, and in the context of today's ecological civilization construction, Tibet's eco-industry is facing the changes in developmental pattern, as well as the problems of fitting in with ecological civilization construction, so achieving coordinated and sustainable development of eco-industry and environment is of great importance to Tibet's economic boom. This article explores the new model for Tibet's eco-industry, which can help to promote the optimization and upgrading of Tibet's eco-industry, and provide great theoretical and practical value to Tibet's eco-industrial development and economic construction.
