Abstract:

Groundwater is now being considered as an alternative water supply in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) because of the increasing demand for fresh water coupled with deterioration in river water quality as a result of rapid urbanization and industrialization. There are thick aquitards in the PRD as a result of several times transgression and regression in the Holocene. This study considers this aquitards as a research object because it has a significant impact on the underneath confined aquifer. It is necessary to analyze the hydraulic properties of the aquitards. A slug-test is a reasonable method to determine the hydraulic conductivity and specific storage of the low-permeability aquitards of silt and clay in the PRD. In this study, several slug-test methods were used to determine the hydraulic parameters of aquitards in several piezometers at the key site MZ04in the PRD. The results from these methods were compared to obtain the most reasonable group of hydraulic parameters. A reasonable equivalent numerical method is applied at the key site MZ04 site after the calibration with the C-B-P solution and the KGS model. The natural groundwater regime is obtained, which is helpful for the further research. A three-dimensional numerical model using MODFLOW is carried out under some assumptions and the simplification for the sediments structure. The characteristics of regional groundwater flow and the influence of hydraulic properties of the aquifer-aquitard system on groundwater flow were analyzed. The simulated groundwater level both in the unconfined aquifer and confined aquifer agree reasonably well with the observed data. Study on the water budget of the groundwater showed that the quantity of ground water discharged from participation to participate the water exchange is very small. In the groundwater participated water exchange, 97% of them flow into rivers, while only 3% of them flow into the sea. Moreover, the vertical flow is more important than the horizontal flow to the regional ground water balance in aquitards according to the water budget obtained from the model. The research of the PRD needs numerous data due to the complicated deposition and evolution process of the sediments and the intensive river network. The modeling results are preliminary because of the complexity of the geological and hydrogeological conditions in the PRD and the limitation of the observed water level data. The hydraulic parameters calculated for this study and the model results can provide a basis for further research on groundwater in the PRD.

Abstract:

An aquitard is not only a confining layer in the aquifer-aquitard system, but also a functional complex for nutrient reservation and microorganism inhabitation. Geochemical characteristics and geomicrobial processes in aquitards play an important role in groundwater quality, and should be well studied. The Pearl River Delta is dominated by clay-rich aquitards and was intensively influenced by Holocene transgression. In this thesis, the aquifer-aquitard system in the PRD was studied from various perspectives including geophysics, geochemistry and geomicrobiology. Sediment and groundwater samples were taken from representative locations in the PRD at different lithological units. Particle size distribution, computed axial tomography, optically stimulated luminescence dating and scanning electron microscopy were analyzed to understand the geophysical properties. Concentrations of major ions and abundances of environmental isotopes were measured for geochemical analysis. Bacterial 16S rRNA gene clone libraries were constructed to analyze microbial identifications and community structures in different strata. Gene abundances of anammox 16S and bacteria amoA in both sediment and groundwater samples were quantitatively analyzed with 15N isotope at the same depth. The mixing process of seawater and river water was the dominant factor controlling the isotopic and chemical characterizes of groundwater in the system. Isotopic fractionation in the aquitards was majorly controlled by chemical and biological reactions other than diffusion. Chemical pattern in this system was mainly controlled by topography and sea level in the Holocene. Independent sedimentary centers of strong reducing environment were located in the depressions controlled by fault zones, and generated massive amount of pyrite minerals in the sediment and NH4+ in the groundwater. The sea level and depositional environment in the Holocene determined the physical structures of the sediment and seawater/river-water ratio in the estuary. Isotopic research also demonstrated that South Asia Monsoon was the major source of atmospheric precipitation in the PRD. Bacterial species in the PRD sediment were identified. Canonical correspondence analysis between bacterial linages and environment factors showed that community structures were significantly modified by geological conditions. High bacterial diversity was observed in samples from the Holocene aquitard M1 and aquifer T1, while in the older aquitard M2 and basal aquifer T2, the bacterial diversity was much lower. Chloroflexi, γ-proteobacteria and δ-proteobacteria were the dominant phyla in the aquitard sediment. β-proteobacteria was the dominant phylum in sediment which was strongly influenced by fresh water. Anammox was the controlling biochemical process in microbial-derived ammonium loss, as demonstrated by gene abundance coupling with 15N isotope and ammonium concentration. The 16S gene abundance of anammox bacteria ranged from approximately 105 to 106 copies/g in the aquitard sediment, and ranged from 104 to 105 copies/g in aquifers. amoA gene abundance was 1-2 orders lower than anammox bacteria 16S in aquitard sediment, but in aquifers, the gene abundances of amoA and anammox 16S were similar. Interface between aquifer and aquitard was demonstrated as biochemically enhanced zone. The results of this study significantly benefited the understanding of geochemistry and microbiology in the aquifer-aquitard system, and showed directions for future work on geomicrobiology in aquitards.

Abstract:

Since the beginning of the 21st century, regional development has become one of the most vital economic issues in China. Both central and local governments in the nation have implemented policies to reduce regional economic disparities and promote regional integration. On the one hand, the central government has exercised policy and political control to promote regional development. On the other hand, local governments have sought opportunities to foster local economic prosperity by forming more competitive economic blocks with neighboring jurisdictions. In particular, growth poles like the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) and Pearl River Delta (PRD) have been very active in promoting regional integration and cooperation as they need the support of other hinterlands for further development. Literature review indicates that regional cooperation in China is subjected to the influence of both economic and political factors. Although it seems that there is interaction between such economic and political factors. However, there is a general lack of a comprehensive framework to examine regional cooperation in China from a political and economic dynamic perspective. In order to fill the gap, two game theory models are developed to analyze economic and political incentives for government officials in the context of regional cooperation. The first model attempts to determine the important economic factors that may affect the feasibility of a cooperative project, assuming local government officials are maximizing the absolute economic performance of their jurisdictions. The second model focuses on understanding how the political relationship between provincial leaders may affect regional cooperation between them, assuming local government officials are maximizing the relative economic performance of their jurisdictions. A game theory framework to examine the economic political dynamics of regional in China is developed based on these two models. The game theory analysis reveals that incentives for provincial government leaders to implement cooperation are decided by the consideration of their political career, which is driven by three major forces: central-local government relationship, inter-local government relationship and the potential economic benefit from regional cooperation. Pan-Pearl River Delta (Pan-PRD) Cooperation, a typical inter-provincial cooperative project established in the 21st century, is used as a case study to theory framework. The empirical study indicates that the emergence of Pan-PRD Cooperation benefited from three perspectives: (1) policy support from the central government, (2) uneven political relationship between provincial leaders in Guangdong and other eight provinces, and (3) strengthened economic interaction between Guangdong and other eight provinces.

Abstract:

This paper researches the relationships between sub-center cities, satellite cities and core cities in Jingjinji Area, Huninghang Area and Pearl River Delta. It also covers the connections between Chinese housing market and stock market. It uses an unique dataset called China Real Estate Index System (CREIS) to measure the Chinese housing prices. Through correlations, Granger causality tests and regression models, this paper concludes there are indeed connections for the movements in housing prices in the surrounding cities relative to Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen in the three city groups, and there is no sufficient evidence to show the existence of the connection between Chinese housing market and stock market.

Abstract:

Thesis (M.C.P.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Urban Studies and Planning, 2000.
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 66-70).
The Pearl River Delta (PRD) has been one of the fastest growing regions in China for the past 15 years. This tremendous economic expansion, fueled by the opening of Chinese markets to foreign investment, has created a number of complex planning issues in the region. While the PRD has become more urbanized, and its local economies more interdependent, planning functions within the region, for the most part, lack coordination and regional focus. Instead, the autonomy granted to PRD municipalities over local economic development decisions has intensified competition among localities. This drive by officials to maximize development opportunities leaves little room for regional planning initiatives. Fortunately, there has been an increasing awareness among some PRD stakeholders that the fundamental undertakings necessary to improve living standards across the region, such as infrastructure construction, economic development, housing, and environmental regulation, transcend municipal boundaries and are most efficiently addressed through the adoption of regional strategies. One of the most important regional planning decisions facing the PRD centers on inter-regional mobility. Compared to other regions of its land size and population, the PRD lacks a highly developed road and rail network. The absence of transportation infrastructure offers PRD decision-makers the unique opportunity to plan regional growth around a transportation network that offers the greatest potential for systematic and measured development. This research will examine the impact that land-use and transportation planning have on the spatial development and form of the urban region. Through a review of the literature on four topics directly connected to land-use and transportation planning-urban and regional decentralization, sprawl, transitoriented development, and automobile policies-the interaction between land-use and transportation planning, as they pertain to regional development, will be examined. Next, transportation and land-use planning will be examined in two regions-metropolitan Tokyo and New York City-to highlight the impact that varying policies have had on the spatial development of these regions. It is hoped that PRD decision-makers can draw lessons from the literature review and the policy decisions made in the two case study regions.

Abstract:

Electricity generation is the major emission source of air pollutants in the highly industrialized Pearl River Delta Region. In a compact region like the Pearl River Delta, pollutants can easily transfer from one city to another. The research question of this study is to construct an optimal and mutual agreeable scheme to reduce electricity consumption in the Pearl River Delta Region, which involves the collaboration of all cities in the Region. The main objective of the study is to conduct a cooperative scheme that internalizes the external social cost of electricity consumption through optimal electricity consumption reduction. This research first surveys papers on urban environmental problems, especially environmental problems caused in Pearl River Delta Region. Literature review indicates that public electricity generation is the major emission source of air pollutants in this region. Secondly, this research reviews literatures on the social costs of electricity consumption. Reviews show that external costs of electricity consumption in different countries differ widely, ranging from 13% to 700% of electricity price. This study adopts the lower quartile of this range, which is 13% of electricity price. Thirdly, urban operations research is reviewed, and a major policy instrument for environmental improvement, environmental tax, is investigated. This study develops a hierarchical structure of urban operations research to study the collaborative management of electricity consumption reduction in the Pearl River Delta Region. This urban operations research model includes seven essential steps: problem definition; objectives identification; performance measures; data analysis; analytical framework construction; model solution and courses of actions; and policy implementation. Moreover, this novel urban operations research model is applied in collaborative management of electricity consumption reduction in the Pearl River Delta. This research uses statistical and mathematical methods to estimate the parameters relevant to GDP, electricity consumption, external costs of electricity consumption, and environmental tax, and then formulates the operational model. Then, this model is employed to evaluate non-cooperative equilibrium condition among the eleven Pearl River Delta cities under a non-cooperative market outcome; to derive individual city’s external cost of electricity; to derive environmental levy and optimal electricity consumption reduction; and to design a compensation plan. In the compensation plan, under cooperation, in both 2013 and 2014, four cities (Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Foshan, and Dongguan) have to pay for their net spillover external cost of electricity consumption. The other seven cities (Zhuhai, Jiangmen, Huizhou, Zhaoqing, Hong Kong, Macao, and Zhongshan) would receive compensation. The urban operations research model for regional cooperation in electricity consumption reduction developed in this study provides an instrument to deal with the pollution problem in the Pearl River Delta Region. It facilitates the exploration of hitherto intractable problems in regional environmental cooperation and established solution plans. The urban operations model is expected to provide practical policy choices for a Pearl River Delta environmental collaboration scheme. This research represents the first attempt on an application of urban operations research model of collaborative management scheme of electricity consumption reduction in Pearl River Delta Region.

Abstract:

Interaction between Taiwan and China has increased remarkably in recent decades. From being complete enemies in 1949 to the momentum created by the Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement in 2010, both countries have come a long way. This thesis focuses on the extent of interaction and cooperation between businesses and Chinese local authorities in the Chinese Yangtze River Delta (YRD) and Pearl River Delta (PRD) and their impact on Taiwanese investment. The Chinese central government has expressly set out its policies of encouragement of specific preferential treatment, and the researcher seeks to answer: to what degree in fact local governments share central government objectives and implement such preferential policies in their areas (including by way of their own policies), and what are the factors governing their decisions. It also explains how the local authorities and local Taiwanese investors (taishang) have interacted. To that end, it analyses an important set of relationships: that between Chinese central and local governments; between the Taiwanese government and Taiwanese business elites; and between Taiwanese investors and Chinese local governments in the YRD and PRD. This study places trans-border interactions in the context of globalization, regionalism and economic integration. China's overriding goal of uniting Taiwan with the PRC has remained constant but the method of achieving this objective has modified, adapting to the global environment, and its vision of a growing economy through its more recent national plans. Emphasis is now on greater economic linkages with Taiwan's economy, thus creating Taiwanese dependence on China's prosperity. Beyond economic reasons it is also hoped that greater connections between Chinese and Taiwanese will strengthen their sense of shared identity, thus making for unification via a "soft landing". This thesis examines the opportunities and constraints that Taiwanese businesses in the YRD and the PRD have in practice encountered, in order to determine whether Chinese local bureaucrats are a help or hindrance in this broader political objective of preferential treatment. It compares Taiwanese businesses with other overseas investors in both secondary and tertiary sectors in the two localities. The research methodology used has included semi-structured elite interviews in China and Taiwan between 2008 and 2010 with relevant decision-makers, namely Taiwanese investors, non-Taiwanese foreign investors, Chinese and Taiwanese government officials. In order to obtain qualitative insights into Chinese local authorities' viewpoints, attitudes and strategy of their approaches to the Taiwanese businesses in China, as well as knowledge of how Taiwanese businesses develop their business activities in China, the main method of data collection in this thesis is therefore in the form of elite interviews. The research concludes that while Taiwanese investors generally do get preferential treatment from Chinese local governments as compared with other investors, there is no general rule which can give them assurance of this. From an examination of several criteria influencing local governments, it seems that much depends on personal relations (guanxi) with Chinese officials, Chinese society being still heavily influenced by traditional attitudes and relationships. Further, the application of laws is still guided by 'rule of man' instead of 'rule of law'. Company location, size and type of industry are other important factors in the application of the preferential policies. Moreover, the incentives that Taiwanese investors have previously received are gradually decreasing, mainly for two reasons. One is the evolution of Chinese central government's plans, aiming to achieve their objectives for economic development of the country, while also making for a wider distribution of wealth and giving greater support to Chinese domestic companies. The other is because of the increased role of local governments, allowing them to set their own initiatives; their response is found to have been to put their localities' interests first and act more independently and pragmatically to changes in their local circumstances. This thesis has made a contribution to the application of methodology by its in-depth analysis and diversity of people interviewed, and to existing literature by exploring the less-developed area of cross-strait political economy studies. However, the qualitative nature of this study and its reliance on a situation which is subject to constant change provide room for further examination by others with different backgrounds or may usefully be looked at again in the light of additional information, such as larger samples of interviews, a different methodology such as quantitative methods, different variables such as Chinese domestic companies, different regions of China, or developments in the countries and regions under study.

Abstract:

Thesis (M.C.P.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Urban Studies and Planning, 2000.
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 62-64).
Venture capital has been the initial source of capital for some of the most visible new firms in the United States for the past decades. The well-known multinational high-tech companies such as Intel, Apple Computer, and Microsoft, were all backed by venture capital funds at their inception. Thus, it is well recognized that venture capitalists play a crucial role in supporting many new high-tech firms to grow into successful, if not multinational, companies. Nowadays, other countries in Europe and Asia are also attempting to establish high technology industries of their own for the sake of restructuring their economic systems. As a result, venture capital has naturally become an issue of concern. In this thesis, I will use the Hong Kong and Pearl River Delta Region as a case study. I generalize the factors that are influencing venture-capital development and review the current development of venture-capital activities. I also investigate the investment profile, investment style, competition, and other important elements, of venture-capital firms in the region, especially in Hong Kong. This research was conducted through review of current literature and personal interviews with practitioners in the Hong Kong high-technology industry and venture capital industry development. The goal of this thesis is to draw a conclusion on the potential of the development of the venture-capital industry in the subject region.
