Abstract

Based on the spatial econometric model, this paper mainly studies the impact of the utilization of mineral resources on environmental pollution and the impact of environmental regulation on the utilization of mineral resources in 30 provincial regions from 2003 to 2016, and analyzes the impact mechanism of heterogeneity and synergy. The results show that the utilization of mineral resources intensifies the degree of environmental pollution and the degree of economic spatial agglomeration, while environmental regulation can effectively restrain the utilization of mineral resources in the region and the near adjacent areas. Through the analysis results of synergistic mechanism, it can be seen that the improvement of industrial structure alleviates the impact of the utilization of mineral resources on environmental pollution and the restraining effect of environmental regulation on it. The improvement of technological progress has improved the environmental pollution caused by the utilization of mineral resources in this area, but intensified the environmental pollution degree of the utilization of mineral resources in neighboring areas. In the current technological level, the neighboring areas will consume more mineral resources to meet a certain demand, thus aggravating the environmental pollution of the utilization of mineral resources in the neighboring areas. The enhanced intensity of government management significantly improves the pollution control efficiency of environmental regulation on the utilization of mineral resources.

Highlights

  • Mineral resources are the material basis of human existence and development, and economic and social development is closely related to the production and utilization of mineral resources

  • From the perspective of interaction effect and space, this paper studies the impact of the exploitation and utilization of mineral resources on ecological environment and the impact of environmental regulation on the exploitation and utilization of mineral resources based on the collaborative structure of industrial structure, technological progress and government management status, and discusses the impact mechanism and path in depth

  • With the background of this kind of difference existing in the utilization of mineral resources of environmental pollution, and as the influence of environmental regulation on the influence of the utilization of mineral resources is significantly different, so the analysis of the above results cannot represent the status of the various regions

Summary

Introduction

Mineral resources are the material basis of human existence and development, and economic and social development is closely related to the production and utilization of mineral resources. It is important to research the effect of mineral resources exploitation, as well as the utilization of the ecological environment, its protection and related regulations, in order to realize coordinated, green development. How to evaluate the impact of environmental protection policies and regulations on the utilization of mineral resources [10], and based on this, to study the construction and optimization of regulatory policy system, is the key issue to realize the win-win situation of mineral resources safe supply guarantee and ecological environment protection. From the perspective of interaction effect and space, this paper studies the impact of the exploitation and utilization of mineral resources on ecological environment and the impact of environmental regulation on the exploitation and utilization of mineral resources based on the collaborative structure of industrial structure, technological progress and government management status, and discusses the impact mechanism and path in depth.
