Abstract

The rapid development of industry brings great pressure on resource and environment, forcing people to explore the road of ecological development. In China, the level of regional industry ecological development differs from each other due to different economic level of regions. This paper establishes ecoindustrialization index system from aspects of resource consumption, pollution emission, pollution abatement, economic and social development to reveal the connotation and characteristics of industry eco-industrialization, taking Shaanxi Province as an example, and adopts the principal component analysis to evaluate the industry eco-industrialization level of 2001-2015 in Shaanxi. The study shows that the level of industry eco-industrialization in Shaanxi Province is steadily improving, but the environmental protection and pollution control work still needs to be further strengthened. The current development process of industry eco-industrialization still faces hindrances from imperfection of environmental laws, insufficiency of government supervision, shortage of environmental protection planning, high energy consumption and ineffective implementation of cleaner production. Aiming at the hindrances, the paper suggests that Shaanxi should enhance the level of industry eco-industrialization by accelerating the construction of industrial ecological system, establishing environmental planning pilot system, improving resource utilization and promoting the key technological innovation and system integration of industry eco-industrialization.
