Regional industrial restructuring has been one of the major items in the transformation of economic development mode. An exploration was made into the influence of tax arrangement on the regional industrial structure by setting up a panel data econometric model based on the evaluation and analysis of the regional industrial structure in China. It was shown that tax arrangement influenced the regional industrial restructuring in terms of three aspects. Microlevel: the turnover tax and income tax appeared with a U-path of influence on upgrading of the industrial structure while appearing with an inverted U-path of influence on rationalization of the industrial structure. In addition, the levy of resource tax had a negative impact on both upgrading and rationalization of the industrial structure. Mesolevel: taxation in the secondary and tertiary industries appeared with a U-path of influence on upgrading of the industrial structure. An increase of taxation in the secondary industry had a negative impact on rationalization of the industrial structure. The taxation in the tertiary industry appeared with an inverted U-path of influence on rationalization of the industrial structure. Macrolevel: the macrotax burden had a U-path of influence on both upgrading and rationalization of the industrial structure.

In the 21st century, diminishing water resources have become a global concern. The Taihang Mountain area plays an important role in the sustainable development of the Bohai coastal area in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei because of its special geographical location and features; but due to drought and deficiency of water, the Taihang Mountain area is faced with the dual problems of poverty and ecological vulnerability. It seems particularly important to develop and utilize the water resources in a sustainable manner as water is one of the key factors in promoting local economic development and improving the ecological environment. This paper investigates, from the perspective of water cycle and water transformation, the seepage recharge mechanism in slopes and river valleys, taking into account the hydrological features of the Taihang Mountain area and the hydro-geological features of slopes and river valleys in the area. Based on analysis of the formation process and characteristics of shallow groundwater resources, this paper puts forth the idea of “weak water consolidation” for sustainable development of water resources, and three groundwater development and utilization techniques in respect of seepage through rock-soil interfaces and weathered rock fissures in slopes and seepage in river valleys, offering a powerful support to the economic development and environmental improvement in the Taihang Mountain area.

China is one of the world’s largest producing and consuming countries of coal. In decades, the coal-based resource type cities of China are facing economic reduction and environment degradation, because of the rapid resource exhaustion and single industrial structure. However, as a policy instrument for sustainable development, a nationwide circular economy model has been implemented at the strategic plan of new coal mines to succeed in the future dilemmas of economic depression, energy shortage, and environmental pollution. Generally, most of the coal resources are buried in the underdeveloped north-western areas with a more vulnerable eco-environment, which means a great distance between the energy supply source and the demand markets as well. Therefore, through comparing and analysing several successful coal-based circular industry chains, and discussion and evaluation of a new model of the circular economy park (CEP), this paper aims to enhance the understanding of coal mine sustainable development and shed light on the relationship between resource exploitation and local economic development.

Topicality. Creating of sustainable infrastructure and promoting of inclusive and sustainable industrialization and innovations is one of the aims of sustainable development of the state, approved by the United Nations, that implemented by the Government of Ukraine as a basis for future economic development policy. In the process of studying of the state's sustainable development, setting aims and finding ways of realization important place takes the research of industrial development and innovations, that takes into account the national specificity of the state's institutional development and the existing socio-economic situation on the principles of glocalization. This will take into account the interests of local communities, involve them in cross-border and international economic relations and will enable them to take part in globalized markets on the basis of local preferences and features.Aim and tasks. The aim of the article is to formulate the conceptual foundations and work out scientifically grounded application tools that are used as a methodological approach to study the existing level of industry and innovation development and to find ways to improve it using billateral joint of local resources and abbilities with preferences and conditions of global markets.Research results. The authors developed a complex of indicators for assessing the level of compliance of national industry, innovations and infrastructure with modern requirements for improving of the economic efficiency and "ecologization" of the economy through resource conservation and reuse of resources on the basis of glocalization. Data from the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade of Ukraine, data from international rating agencies were the basis for the information provision of monitoring of the state of industry, innovations and infrastructure. According to the revealed tendencies, measures are proposed to regulate the development of industrial production, innovations and infrastructure on the principles of glocalization, the introduction of the postulates of the "green" and circular economics, in particular - economic and organizational stimulation of non-waste production through the application of tax holidays, priority in the competition for funding from the State Fund for Regional Development such projects that include non-waste treatment of garbage, complex industrial recycling of secondary or non- raw material without waste generation, as well as on the basis of the introduction of innovative domestic technologies.Conclusion. The revealed patterns of ecologization of domestic industrial production in Ukraine on the basis of glocalization point to the low capacity of industrial non-waste recycling of garbage and the insignificant level of use of circular technologies in the production process, that confirms the fact of uncertainty of terms and prospects of the realization of the idea of decoupling and the introduction of industrial activities on the basis of environmental and the achievement of zero waste level. The implementation of innovations using low-waste, resource-saving technological processes remains at an average-low level and in a year does not exceed 30-35% from the total number of implemented innovative technological processes, while the share of innovation activity and expenses for scientific developments in the total GDP volume is constantly shrinking. The level of penetration of a comfortable and well-developed infrastructure in the areas of infocommunications, in addition to Internet services, and road networks remains rather low and determines the prospects for further growth.

The coordinated development of industrialization and its ecological environment are vital antecedents to sustainable development in China. However, along with the accelerating development of industrialization in China, the contradiction between industrial development and environment preservation has turned out to be increasingly evident and inevitable. Eco-efficiency can be seen either as an indicator of environmental performance, or as a business strategy for sustainable development. Hence, industrial eco-efficiency promotion is the key factor for green industrial development. This study selects indicators relevant to resources, economy, and the environment of industrial development, and the indicators can well reflect the characteristics of industrial eco-efficiency. The SBM (Slacks-Based Measure) model overcomes the limitations of a radial model and directly accounts for input and output slacks in the efficiency measurements, with the advantage of capturing the entire aspect of inefficiency. This study evaluates the industrial eco-efficiency of nine cities in Fujian province during the period of 2006–2016, based on undesired output SBM (Slacks-Based Measure) model and also uses a Tobit regression model to analyze the influencing factors. The results show that there is a positive correlation among the economic development level, opening level, research and development (R&D) innovation, and industrial eco-efficiency in Fujian Province. However, a negative correlation was found between the industrial structure and industrial eco-efficiency in Fujian Province. Moreover, environmental regulation in Fujian Province was not found to significantly influence the industrial eco-efficiency. Hence, through the systematic analysis of industrial eco-efficiency and its influencing factors in Fujian, the study gives further insight on how policy-making can help achieve sustainable development, balancing between economic benefits and ecological improvements.

In this paper, we examine how devolution has affected local sustainable development. We focus on attempting to gauge how devolution will affect the promotion of sustainable development in the English regions through an analysis of the changes to date in Scotland, Wales and London. This evaluation is made more difficult because of the range of changes which devolution involves - political, institutional, organizational and cultural, and it is hard to ascribe particular outcomes to particular changes. The focus of the paper is examining how local sustainability regimes have been affected by devolution in the three case study regions. We then conclude that devolution can only add value to existing arrangements if it creates an additional level of legitimacy which supports local coalitions deepening their commitment to the principles of local sustainable development.
