Abstract:

Pollution-intensive industry development is a principal source of pollution emissions. The Yangtze River Delta(YRD) is one of the most developed areas in China and also one of areas facing great pressure of environmental pollution. We studied spatial distribution of pollution-intensive industries (PⅡ) and pullution emissions (PE) from 1999 to 2013 in the YRD. Results are shown as follows. 1) As the whole PⅡ and PE present diffusion process from regional core cities to edge cities. Industrial sectors and pollution factors are different. 2) Spatial distribution patterns of PⅡ and PE show consistence. Cities with high share and intensive pollution locate along the Shanghai-Nanjing line and in Hangzhou-Ningbo region. Cities with increasing PⅡ and PE shares locate in Suzhou, Ningbo, Nantong, etc. 3) PⅡ's effect on PE reflects differences between production technology and policy regulation. Policies and measures of promoting clean production and strengthening environmental regulation is the key to achieve a coordinated and win-win regional industry development and environmental protection.

Key words: pollution-intensive industries, pollution emissions, spatial evolution, the Yangtze River Delta
