4 Countermeasures and Suggestions
1. The top-level design should take the carrying capacity of resources and
environment into account as a basic factor
In accordance with the requirements for the harmonious development between man
and nature, we should incorporate the philosophy of ecological civilization into all
aspects and the whole process of socioeconomic development and create a sound
top-level design for socioeconomic development. We should make efforts to control
pollution from the source, prevent damage to the environment and ecology, realize the
harmonious development between man and nature, establish a bottom-line thinking,
and limit various development and construction activities and development plans
within the scope of resource and environmental carrying capacity. We should regard
the resources and environment carrying capacity as the basic constraint and ponder
over the overall issues in an all-round manner while highlighting priorities and
main tasks. We should explore to integrate various planning into a single master
plan, in a bid to take resources and environmental factors into full account in the
decision-making process. In this way, we could address the problem of insufficient
consideration for the ecological environment in the process of economic development from the root, thereby solving problems relating to the scale, structure and
layout of resources and the environment. We should incorporate the constraints on
resource and environmental carrying capacity, protection of ecological space, and
cultivated land protection into the urban socioeconomic development plans. The
government shall coordinate various departments to formulate the overall plan for
urban development, giving consideration to optimize the allocation of resources such
as environment, natural resources, economy, and land within the spatial and ecological scope of the administrative area. At the same time, it’s necessary to establish
a coordination mechanism among departments in charge of the urban planning and
construction to ensure the implementation of the plan.
2. With a view to solving practical problems, keep improving the understanding and application capabilities of science concerning the carrying
capacity of resources and environment
Human’s understanding of nature has kept improving over time. However, since
human’s understanding of the objective laws of nature is an ongoing process that
can never be fulfilled, there’s no way for man to completely understand, control and
conquer nature. Amid the increasingly complex environmental situations, we can
continuously improve our scientific understanding of the objective laws of nature in
the process of solving various existing problems, while strengthening the supporting
and leading role of science and technology to promote continuous improvement of
environmental quality. The carrying capacity of resources and environment is an
important scientific issue arising from discussions about the long-term coexistence
of man and nature, and an important acting point for promoting harmonious coexistence between man and nature. Therefore, we must develop a scientific attitude and
