Session: 630 - SEA for industrial zones:technological exploration and practical innovation
Status: pending
The research team constructed an indicator system to evaluate the effectiveness and challenges of SEAs implemented across 26 industrial zones located in various regions of China.
Industrial zones serve as pivotal zones for a nation's economic growth and are often focal areas for environmental pollution prevention and control. Over recent decades, China has achieved significant progress in its economic development while avoiding severe ecological degradation, largely through initiatives such as conducting strategic environmental assessments (SEAs) within industrial zones.To better improve the effectiveness of SEA for industrial zones, twenty-six cases of industrial zones PEIA were selected as examples to construct an indicator system to analyze the implementation achievements and inadequacies of industrial zones PEIA. The indicator system included four dimensions and 14 indexes, with the four dimensions being promoting improvement of regional environmental quality, optimizing spatial layout, preventing and eliminating of environmental risks and promoting high-level development of the zones. The team analyzed the key factors influencing the performance of these SEAs and proposed policy recommendations aimed at enhancing their efficacy. This work seeks to provide valuable insights for environmental management authorities in strengthening the governance of SEAs in industrial parks and promoting the practical application of SEA outcomes.
