The impact of high-speed rail construction on the development of resource-based cities: A temporal and spatial perspective

As a province abundant in mineral resources, Henan Province has formed extensive mining subsidence areas during its past economic development, posing a major challenge to the planning and advancement of the high-speed rail (HSR) network. This study investigates the impact of high-speed rail (HSR) construction on the development of resource-based cities (RBC), considering both temporal and spatial dimensions. By utilizing GIS technology, a spatial clustering index was created to assess the spatial influence of HSR on the economic development of RBC. Empirical analysis was conducted using the spatial Durbin model. The findings reveal that both mining subsidence areas and HSR station factors significantly affect the clustering patterns observed in the collected samples. Notably, a regression phenomenon in the classification results emerged after 2017. Specifically, the extensive mining areas in RBC pose significant obstacles to the opening time and routes of HSR, thereby impacting the overall level of urban development. Additionally, in regions with underdeveloped secondary transportation networks, the current development mode of HSR remains primarily focused on "point-to-point" connections.

The impact of industrial land mismatch on carbon emissions in resource-based cities under environmental regulatory constraints-evidence from China.

Achieving carbon neutrality has become a global common goal. For China, to reach peak carbon emissions and long-term carbon neutrality, the transformation and development of resource-based cities are essential. This study uses data from 114 prefecture-level resource-based cities from 2008 to 2019 as a sample and empirically tests the impact of industrial land mismatch on carbon emissions using the fixed effects model. In addition, we analyze the heterogeneous influence of environmental regulation as a moderating effect on resource-based cities at different development stages. The study reveals that (1) there is a significant positive correlation between the imbalance in industrial land supply in resource-based cities and carbon emissions. The more severe the imbalance, the higher the carbon emissions. The improper supply mode of industrial land is also positively correlated with carbon emissions, although the impact is not significant. (2) Environmental regulation can significantly curb the carbon emission issues caused by the mismatch and imbalance in the scale of industrial land supply and the improper supply mode of industrial land. (3) Compared to strong resource-based cities, weak resource-security cities have a smaller impact on carbon emissions due to an imbalance in the supply of industrial land. This is mainly because resources in weak resource-security cities are becoming exhausted, making "ecology first, green and low carbon" the main tune for economic and social development. Both types of cities show a positive correlation between the improper supply of industrial land and carbon emissions, although neither is significant. (4) The intensity of the regulatory effect of environmental regulations on resource-based cities is influenced by resource abundance. The suppression of carbon emissions by environmental regulations is more apparent in strong resource-security cities than in weak resource-security cities.

Stability-Level Evaluation of the Construction Site above the Goaf Based on Combination Weighting and Cloud Model

Mineral resource-based cities have formed a large number of goafs due to the long-term mining of coal. It is of great significance to make full use of the abandoned land resources above the goaf to promote the transformation and development of resource-based cities. In order to avoid the threat of surface residual deformation to the proposed construction project, it is an urgent problem to obtain the stability results of the construction site accurately. First of all, based on the principles of relevance, hierarchy, representativeness and feasibility of index selection, 10 indexes are selected to construct the stability evaluation index system. Then the subjective weight and objective weight of evaluation indexes are determined based on improved AHP, rough set and CRITIC methods, which improves the accuracy of the determination of the index weights. In addition, the membership degree of each index is determined using the cloud model. Finally, the stability grade can be obtained according to the maximum membership degree theory. The above researches are applied to evaluate the stability of the Mianluan expressway construction site, and the results show that the stability level of the study area is not uniform and that there are two states: stable and basically stable. Finally, a sensitivity analysis of the subjective weight of each index is carried out, the index stopping time has the highest sensitivity to weight (12.44%), which is far lower than the corresponding weight change rate of 100%, indicating that the determination of weight is scientific and reasonable. These things considered, the reliability of the evaluation result is indirectly verified according to the field leveling. This research can provide a reference for the effective utilization of land resources above an old goaf.

A novel approach to assess the urban land-use efficiency of 767 resource-based cities in China

China is accelerating the transformation and development of resource-based cities. Urban land-use efficiency is crucial for assessing land output capacity and regional development quality. Measuring the land-use efficiency of resource-based cities and determining its main factors help improve land-use efficiency and promote the transformation of resource-based cities. However, previous urban land-use efficiency studies of multi-source data and its driving factors have been insufficient. Therefore, according to this study's inherent characteristics of urban land use efficiency, a feasible analysis framework is built using multi-source remote sensing data. Three indicators are proposed: urban construction land intensity, urban nighttime light intensity, and urban point of interest (POI) density. We developed the urban land-use efficiency index (ULEI) to explore the spatial pattern of urban land-use efficiency in resource-based cities. We applied the ternary phase diagram to identify critical factors in the three criteria. The results show that land-use efficiency is generally low in resource-based cities at the county scale. According to the ULEI, the top and bottom resource-based cities have significant agglomeration. The southwest region has higher land-use efficiency, while the northern region has the opposite. Meanwhile, there are significant differences in the urban land-use efficiency of resource-based cities in different growth stages. Growing cities have the highest land-use efficiency, while recessionary cities have the opposite. In addition, resource-based cities with higher land-use efficiency tend to be more balanced among the three criteria. Our results show the approach's effectiveness, which provides objective and precise spatial information for urban land use at the county scale for resource-based cities, leading to more informed decision-making.

Transformation and development of resource-based cities in China: A review and bibliometric analysis

With increasingly serious environmental and resource problems, resource-based cities have attracted unprecedented attention at home and abroad. In recent years, resource-based cities have become a hot research topic that has produced fruitful results. However, few articles have comprehensively and systematically reviewed the research on resource-based cities, which makes it difficult to carry out further research. This study introduces the influencing factors of the urban transformation of resource-based cities, the path of urban transformation, and the evaluation index system of urban transformation in detail. At the same time, a total of 2,182 articles related to resource-based cities in the CNKI and WOS from 2002 to 2022 were taken as the research objects. CiteSpace software was used to conduct statistical analysis of publication dates, journals of publication, institutions, and highly cited literature. Using the co-occurrence network of literature keywords and the analysis of emergent words, the research status of resource-based cities at home and abroad is visually analyzed. It is found that Chinese universities attach the most importance to research on resource-based cities. Chinese-language journals focus on urban and economic transformation, while English-language journals focus on sustainable development and the circular economy, which are quite different. The overall research content of Chinese journals is scattered, the co-occurrence ability of keywords is weak, and the duration of hot research topics is short. In contrast, the overall research trend of English-language journals is more concentrated, the key words’ emergence intensity is high, and the duration is long. This study aims to systematically sort out the theories and research related to resource-based city development in China and internationally, clarify the key issues of resource-based city research and the shortcomings of existing research, and put forward feasible suggestions for future research.

Has the Sustainable Development Planning Policy Promoted the Green Transformation in China's Resource-based Cities?

Scientific evaluation of the transformation effect of resource-based cities is an important way to measure the effect of the implementation of national transformation policies, and it is also an important issue in the study of China's urban transformation development under the "30-60" goal of carbon peaking and carbon neutral. Based on the systematic understanding of the connotation of green transformation development in resource-based cities, this study constructed a framework for evaluating the green transformation performance (GTP) of resource-based cities in China, measured the GTP of 115 prefecture-level and above resource-based cities in China using the entropy weight-TOPSIS model, and further quantitatively assessed the policy effects of sustainable development planning (SDP) in China's resource-based cities from both the overall and local levels using synthetic control method. The results showed the following. (1) Time-series evolution characteristics analysis results showed that the average GTP allocation level of China's resource-based cities showed a steady upward trend in 2009 to 2018, from 0.4196 in 2009 to 0.4946 in 2018, an increase of 17.88%, and the growth rate showed a "W"-type fluctuating change characteristics. (2) Spatial differentiation characteristics analysis results showed that the average GTP allocation level of resource-based cities showed the heterogeneous characteristics of "east>middle>west", "regenerative type> growth type> mature type> declining type", and "ferrous metals> oil and gas> non-metals> forest industry> coal> non-ferrous metals". (3) Overall policy effects analysis results showed that the implementation of the SDP policy had a weak positive promotion effect on the overall transformation and development of resource-based cities. The overall policy effect showed an "M"-type fluctuation trend, with a more obvious pushing effect at the early stage of policy implementation, and then showed a fluctuation and weakening trend. (4) Local policy effects analysis results showed that the implementation of the SDP policy had different impacts on the green transformation and development of different resource-based cities. This policy has positively promoted the GTP of mature cities (e.g., Panzhihua City) and declining cities (e.g., Jiaozuo City), while it has not significantly promoted the GTP of growth cities and regenerative cities. These findings can provide a reference for the optimization and improvement of sustainable development policies in resource-based cities in China.

Policy Objective Bias and Institutional Quality Improvement:Sustainable Development of Resource-Based Cities

Spatial and temporal changes of the ecological footprint of China's resource-based cities in the process of urbanization

The development of resource-based cities is under the dual stress of negative externality and urbanization caused by resource exploitation. In order to investigate the pressure faced by China's resource-based cities, this paper took the ecological footprint model to estimate the ecological sustainability in the urbanization process of China's resource-based cities from 2010 to 2016 on different scales. The results show that, the per capita ecological footprint of resource-based cities at the national scale is generally on the rise, and on the regional scale, the per capita ecological footprint of northeast and eastern regions is on the decline, while that of central and western regions is on the rise. Resource-based cities at both the national and regional scales are in the state of ecological deficit, which indicating that the development of resource-based cities in China has exceeded the local biological capacity during the urbanization process from 2010 to 2016. Since the small biological capacity is the main reason for the ecological deficit of China's resource-based cities at the national scale, and the ecological deficit at the regional level is closely related to the natural and social conditions of local development as well as the continued urbanization. Therefore, it is suggested that the local government should formulate scientific and reasonable planning, strengthen the ecological improvement of land resource, change the way of land use, implement energy conservation and emission reduction and promote the sustainable development of resource-based cities.

Research on Low Carbon Planning Method of Resource Based City Based on Coupling of City Region and Central City -- A Case Study of Xingtai City

Resource-based cities generally have "high energy consumption, high carbon emissions, and high pollution". Exploring low-carbon planning of resource-based cities means great significance for promoting the low-carbon transformation and development of resource-based cities and achieving "carbon peak" and "carbon neutrality". Based on the two levels of city region and central city, the paper proposes a low-carbon planning method for resource-based cities from four aspects: industrial transformation, land use, road transportation and ecological environment. At the city region level, it is necessary to reasonably determine urban industrial structure and industrial development scale, and meanwhile, optimize the industrial layout by reasonably planning production, living and ecological space and formulating practical space control measures; coordinating the connection between external traffic and traffic system within the city; constructing a carbon sink network composed of green patches-ecological corridors-peripheral matrix. At the central city level, it is necessary to analyze gradient attributes of carbon emissions from different land types, rationally arrange various types of construction land; optimize the layout of urban residence and employment space; increase systematicness of road planning in central urban areas; give full play to the carbon sink role of ecological corridors. Finally, an empirical study is carried out with the case of Xingtai City. The research can provide theoretical basis and path reference for reducing carbon emissions of resource-based cities through spatial planning.

Research on Residents’ Willingness to Pay for Promoting the Green Development of Resource-Based Cities: A Case Study in Chifeng

Resource-based cities have made significant contributions to the development of human beings but have also accumulated various unsustainable ills. For this reason, China put forward the strategy of green development. This study used questionnaires to explore the extent of residents’ understanding of regional green development in Chifeng City and their willingness to support local green development, and further analyzed the differences in the residents’ attitudes and willingness to pay (WTP) with different socioeconomic characteristics. The results showed that most of the respondents supported the green development strategy and demonstrated a strong willingness to participate in regional green development investment. According to calculations, the per capita WTP for green development in Chifeng is 45.05 yuan/a (about 7 dollars/a, 5.7 euros/a). Urban residents, government employees, and well-educated respondents were more inclined to support regional green development and showed a greater WTP. Elderly and female respondents agreed more with the government’s green development promotion, while the young and middle-aged populations and men tended to have higher green development expenditures. The respondents’ annual income difference was reflected in the amounts of residents’ WTP. This study also offered scientific support and policy assistance to promote the environmental protection work from government-led to public participation.

SWOT analysis of industrial site redevelopment in mining area of Resource-based City -- Taking Pingshuo, Shanxi Province as an example

An important problem to be solved in the transformation and development of resource-based cities is the redevelopment and utilization of industrial sites in mining areas. This paper takes Pingshuo Coal Mine as an example, SWOT analysis model is used to analyze the four factors of advantages, disadvantages, opportunities and risks. The result shows that the dominant factors are the existing transportation, electricity, water supply, heating and sewage treatment facilities. The weaknesses are potential pollution risks and difficulties of facility retrofit. The opportunity is brought about by new urbanization and new rural construction. The challenge is how to attract people to the industrial areas with depleted resources.

Using Industrial Cultural Heritage to Transform and Develop Resource-Based Cities

To protect industrial cultural heritage, the methods of overall protection and utilization of industrial heritage were put forward in the transformation and development of resource-based cities. Taking Chongqing, a famous old industrial city in China, as the research object, from the cultural heritage, history, architecture, urban planning and other disciplines, the construction of Chongqing industrial heritage protection theory and practice methods were explored to guide the protection and utilization of Chongqing industrial heritage. A progressive evaluation method from the whole to the local was established. Industrial cities, typical corporate and architectural heritage were evaluated. The overall characteristics of urban industrial development were reflected. The renewal of old industrial areas and the protection of industrial heritage were elaborated through the overall co-ordination of urban design and detailed planning. The results showed that it was the key to integrate the protection elements and requirements into the detailed urban control planning. Therefore, special planning plays an important role in protecting industrial heritage.

Study on the optimization of service structure of resource-oriented cities in transition - taking huainan city as an example

The development of resource-based cities in China is mainly based on the development of local resources and as the main pillar enterprises of urban development. However, this resource is mostly non-renewable resources, and with the continuous exploitation and utilization of human beings, the resources they have are bound to be exhausted. And industries that rely on resources for development will also decline. Bring about the decrease of city economy income, personnel unemployed etc. Facing this situation, we must be ready to transform and find new development paths. In anhui province is the main coal resources on the case of resource-based cities, it holds coal resources provides a great convenience to the development of early cities, coal resource is not renewable resources, however, so in order to be able to make the huainan towards sustainable development path. We need to analyze the current industrial structure of huainan and analyze its advantages and disadvantages in the development process so as to find new ways for its development.

Strategic Choice on Transformation Mode of China’s Resource-based Cities

Research about the System of Resources Orderly Utilization in Resource-Exhausted City of our Country

In order to realize the sustainable development of resource-based cities, we must solve all kinds of contradictions and problems that resource-based cities encountered, and if we want to solve these problems, we must establish a series of bylaws and regulations.This paper talks resource-exhausted cities in the legislation from establishing resources orderly utilization system. We use the legislation to use orderly the resources of the resource-exhausted cities from the four aspects which is survey, mining, processing and save.

The Establishment of Sustainable Development Evaluation Index System of Resource-Based Cities

On the one hand, resource-based cities have played a great role to the economic growth of our country. On the other hand, they have also caused great destruction to China's economic development. The sustainable development evaluation of resource-based cities is a new topic, and its theory and method system remain to be discussed. Taking Pingdingshan City , Henan Province as an example, this paper discusses the evaluation method of sustainable development of resource-based cities. Combining the methods of scientific and practical, typical and comparable, dynamic and operable, comprehensive and hierarchical, taking AHP comprehensive evaluation as the foundation, from resource support ability, environment support ability, social support ability, and economic support ability, this evaluation method choose 47 index to evaluate the sustainable development of resource-based cities. The comprehensive evaluation index system of this paper strives to comprehensive reflect the process of sustainable development of resource-based cities, and hopes to provide some reference for policy making for the sustainable development of resource-based cities.

The Inevitability Research on the Adjustment of Industrial Structure to Achieve Sustainable Development of the Resource-Based Cities

Generally speaking, after the rapid economic development in base of the rich resources, there will inevitably come with the economic downturn which caused by resource exhaustion in resource-based cities. It will be difficult to avoid the phenomenon of “urban decay with the depletion of mineral”, if corresponding countermeasures can not be made timely. In this thesis, we will analysis in-depth to find constraints on the sustainable development in these cities, and point out that we can achieve the sustainable development by the adjustment of industrial structure in these cities. Meanwhile, we will expound and prove the possibility to overcome these constraints from the internal and external of these cities. Finally, we come to the conclusion that it is an inevitable choice to achieve the sustainable development of resource-based cities by the adjustment of industrial structure.
