Summary/Abstract |
Industrial parks have become the effective strategies for government to promote sustainable economic development due to the following advantages: shared infrastructure and concentrated industrial activities within planned areas. However, due to intensive energy consumption and dependence on fossil fuels, industrial parks have become the main areas for greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, it is critical to quantify their carbon footprints so that appropriate emission reduction policies can be raised. The objective of this paper is to seek an appropriate method on evaluating the carbon footprint of one industrial park. The tiered hybrid LCA method was selected due to its advantages over other methods. Shenyang Economic and Technological Development Zone (SETDZ), a typical comprehensive industrial park in China, was chosen as a case study park. The results show that the total life cycle carbon footprint of SETDZ was 15.29 Mt, including 6.81 Mt onsite (direct) carbon footprint, 8.47 Mt upstream carbon footprint, and only 3201 t downstream carbon footprint. Analysis from industrial sector perspectives shows that chemical industry and manufacture of general purpose machinery and special purposes machinery sector were the two largest sectors for life cycle carbon footprint. Such a sector analysis may be useful for investigation of appropriate emission reduction policies.

Summary/Abstract |
Industrial parks play important roles in boosting local economies. However, their productivity remains unclear. This study employs the Malmquist productivity indexes (MPIs) to assess the performance of 14 economic development zones (EDZs) and seven high-tech development zones (HTDZs) in Beijing for the 2006–2014 period. The overall MPI increased for both the EDZs and the HTDZs. The Malmquist decomposition highlights the technological changes as the main source of productivity improvement. Further, many EDZs and HTDZs have shown progress in catching up. Decision-makers should consider the scale effects when evaluating inputs like investment and land, and the results will enable better management of industrial parks.
