Abstract
Chinese Overseas Economic and Trade Cooperation Zones (COCZs) under the “One Belt and One Road” initiative are committed to promoting inclusive and sustainable industrialization, becoming an important platform for the countries and regions where they are located to achieve the sustainable development goals of the 2030 agenda. The planning of COCZs plays a strategic leading and rigid control role in the sustainable development of parks, and the planning implementation effectiveness evaluation has been a key to the sustainable development of COCZs. From the perspective of sustainable development, we established a rating system depending on the deconstruction “effectiveness = efficiency + effect + benefit + capacity” to measure the planning implementation effectiveness evaluation indexes of COCZs, and conducted empirical research based on the evidence of Longjiang Industrial Park, Vietnam. The research results show that Longjiang Industrial Park has a good planning implementation effectiveness with remarkable comprehensive economic, social, ecological and political benefits. It features a good efficiency, effect and benefit from an excellent production capacity, reflected in the consistency between spatial planning and implementation results and a high satisfaction with planning implementation. However, planning implementation is also faced with problems such as the lag of time, imbalance between profit and loss, uneven achievement of goals, and lack of a refined planning control system. To make COCZs more sustainable in development and planning, the suggestion is, on the one hand, to accelerate the establishment of a regular and institutionalized mechanism for the planning preparation and implementation evaluation of COCZs, and bring sustainable development into the management requirements, and, on the other hand, to promote the transformation of COCZs planning from “Function and Scale Orientation” to “Quality and Effectiveness Orientation”, and guide the creation of a model for sustainable development and the planning of COCZs.
Highlights
The aim of the “Belt and Road Initiatives” is to help the countries along the belt and road achieve their vision of sustainable development, and Chinese Overseas Economic and Trade Cooperation Zones (COCZs) under the “Belt and Road Initiatives” are committed to promoting inclusive and sustainable industrialization [1]
During the field investigation in Vietnam, we found that a large number of shops, restaurants, trade and logistics companies clustered around the park and along both sides of the main road leading to the park with the completion of Longjiang Industrial Park (LJIP)
Restricted by state and social institutions, difficulties in information and data acquisition and other factors, quantitatively applicable planning implementation effectiveness evaluations have become an important issue to be addressed for the scientific management and sustainable development of COCZs
Summary
The aim of the “Belt and Road Initiatives” is to help the countries along the belt and road achieve their vision of sustainable development, and Chinese Overseas Economic and Trade Cooperation Zones (COCZs) under the “Belt and Road Initiatives” are committed to promoting inclusive and sustainable industrialization [1]. With the help of employment creation, and improvement of industrial infrastructure and the business environment, COCZs will play an important role in aims such as no poverty (SDG1), zero hunger (SDG 2), good health and well-being for people (SDG3), responsible consumption and production (SDG12), and climate action (SDG13), showing great potential in promoting sustainable economic, environmental and social development and helping the host country realize the goals of the 2030 Agenda. In view of this, based on the public policy and the experience in urban planning implementation evaluation, this paper takes Longjiang Industrial Park (LJIP) in Vietnam as an example to carry out an empirical analysis, trying to construct a method system for planning an implementation effectiveness evaluation of COCZs from the perspective of sustainable development, to provide some reference for relevant theoretical research and practical work
