The Impact

With the development of cities and the continuous expansion of human activities, the impact of humans on nature has gradually become prominent. After the Industrial Revolution, the relationship between humans and nature has undergone a subtle change. Whether human beings actively interfere with nature or unconsciously influence the natural environment through behavioral facts, the progress of many human societies is accompanied by the consumption and damage of natural energy. At the same time, nature is also using facts to remind humans that the environmental degradation caused by excessive intervention will eventually affect humans themselves. This study collected 2003, 2012, 2016, and 2019 survey data of seawater quality and ecological environment near the Tianjin Dongjiang Port area. Through a single factor analysis method, we found that the marine environment changes in this area in recent years. The development of Tianjin’s urban area is closely related to the development of the port. At the same time, the sea reclamation project in Dongjiang may also be one of the reasons for this change. sea reclamation project in Dongjiang may also be one of the reasons for this change.

Main Factor

AbstractIntegrated renovation projects are important for marine ecological environment protection. Three-dimensional hydrodynamics and water quality models are developed for the Maowei Sea to assess the hydrodynamic environment base on the MIKE3 software with high resolution meshes. The results showed that the flow velocity changed minimally after the project, decreasing by approximately 0.12 m/s in the east of the Maowei Sea area and increasing by approximately 0.01 m/s in the northeast of the Shajing Port. The decrease in tidal prism (~ 2.66 × 106 m3) was attributed to land reclamation, and accounted for just 0.86% of the pre-project level. The water exchange half-life increased by approximately 1 day, implying a slightly reduced water exchange capacity. Siltation occurred mainly in the reclamation and dredging areas, amounting to back-silting of approximately 2 cm/year. Reclamation project is the main factor causing the decrease of tidal volume and weakening the hydrodynamics in Maowei Sea. Adaptive management is necessary for such a comprehensive regulation project. According to the result, we suggest that reclamation works should strictly prohibit and dredging schemes should optimize in the subsequent regulation works.

The Impact

AbstractPart of the Kinneret watershed, the Hula Valley, was modified from wetlands – shallow lake for agricultural cultivation. Enhancement of nutrient fluxes into Lake Kinneret was predicted. Therefore, a reclamation project was implemented and eco-tourism partly replaced agriculture. Since the mid-1980s, regional climate change has been documented. Statistical evaluation of long-term records of TP (Total Phosphorus) concentrations in headwaters and potential resources in the Hula Valley was carried out to identify efficient management design targets. Significant correlation between major headwater river discharge and TP concentration was indicated, whilst the impact of external fertilizer loads and 50,000 winter migratory cranes was probably negligible. Nevertheless, confirmed severe bdamage to agricultural crops carried out by cranes led to their maximal deportation and optimization of their feeding policy. Consequently, the continuation of the present management is recommended.

The Impact

This study explores the ocean grabbing phenomenon that arises as a result of the reclamation project undertaken to facilitate the expansion of urban capital. The case of reclamation projects in Indonesia and Malaysia is taken to be compared with the consideration of the method of spending and facilitation on urban capital investment through the reclamation project. The need for new land which has become the culprit of the reclamation project will be explored about the impact it has had on the socio-ecological crisis that coastal communities must suffer. This study is a literature review carried out by tracing research reports, journal articles, and online media coverage related to the problem being examined. This study was carried out by borrowing the definition of ocean grabbing made by Bennett, Govan, and Satterfield and the criteria they made to show socio-ecological crises arising in coastal communities due to the reclamation project. The results of the study show that reclamation projects in Indonesia and Malaysia pose serious ocean grabbing problems. First, reclamation projects in Indonesia and Malaysia have poor governance. Minimal public participation and inadequate planning are a way for the facilitation of urban capital expansion in the reclamation project. Second, the reclamation project has worsened the living conditions of coastal communities due to loss of catchment area, decreased income, and deprived the community of its living space. Third, the reclamation project has caused damage to the ecosystem which has broken the balance of the environment in marine waters.AbstrakKajian ini mendalami fenomena ocean grabbing yang muncul akibat proyek reklamasi yang dilakukan untuk memfasilitasi ekspansi modal. Kasus proyek reklamasi di Indonesia dan Malaysia diambil untuk diperbandingkan dengan melihat metode pengurugan dan upaya memfasilitasi investasi perkotaan dalam proyek reklamasi. Kebutuhan lahan baru yang menjadi biang keladi dari proyek reklamasi akan didalami mengenai dampak yang ditimbulkannya pada krisis sosio-ekologis yang harus diderita masyarakat pesisir. Studi ini adalah kajian pustaka yang dilakukan dengan menelusuri laporan penelitian, artikel jurnal, dan pemberitaan media daring yang terkait dengan persoalan yang dikaji. Kajian ini dilakukan dengan meminjam pendefinisian ocean grabbing yang dibuat oleh Bennett, Govan, dan Satterfield serta kriteria yang mereka buat untuk mengidentifikasi krisis sosio-ekologis yang muncul di masyarakat pesisir akibat proyek reklamasi. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa proyek reklamasi di Indonesia dan Malaysia menimbulkan masalah ocean grabbing secara serius. Pertama, proyek reklamasi di Indonesia dan Malaysia memiliki tata kelola yang buruk. Partisipasi publik yang minim dan perencanaan tidak memadai menjadi jalan bagi fasilitasi ekspansi modal dalam proyek reklamasi. Kedua, proyek reklamasi telah memperburuk keadaan kehidupan masyarakat pesisir akibat hilangnya daerah tangkapan, penurunan pendapatan dan mencerabut komunitas dari ruang hidupnya. Ketiga, proyek reklamasi menyebabkan kerusakan ekosistem yang telah merusak keseimbangan lingkungan di perairan laut.

The Impact

Ports are important hubs that have positive impacts on the regions they serve, but they also pose some challenges that need to be addressed. Many ports around the world have aligned their development strategies with the concept of green growth; however, the green and efficient performance of ports does not only depend on the port management itself; some elements need to be negotiated and approved by local and national governments. One of such elements is road port access. We investigated the impact of port gate location and port gate procedures on port’s performance by examining the case of the Adriatic port of Koper, the only Slovenian international cargo port. We found that significant external costs are incurred due to a non-optimized situation caused by the lack of coordination and cooperation on all levels, although the port of Koper is one of European core ports. Further, delayed digitalization of port gate procedures caused by port management adds to degradation of port city relations.

The Impact

Port city is the node in global commodity flows. It is open to the outside world and often the primary test field of new economic development model. To reduce the negative impact of the global economic crisis since 2008, various developing patterns have been tested in the port city. And the most effective way should rely on the city’s operation mechanism. Here a System Dynamics model is established to analyze the interaction process of the elements in the port-city system. Then choose Shenzhen city as the empirical case. By changing the proportion of R&D and fixed-asset investment, the impact of different economic measures on the system could be confirmed. The result shows that, in order to stabilize the port city’s economic growth, it should change the traditional development pattern to the innovation driven one. The former focuses on facilities investment and capacity expansion. The latter aims at port efficiency promoting and port business value increases.
