Their economic structure is being transformed andnew land use strategies should be taken correspondingly. HainanProvince, as the biggest special economic zone, has great superiorities andpotentialities for the development of land use. In order to realize the goal,the present land use decision should be mainly guided by market, moreattention should be paid to tropical agriculture and aquatic productindustry, the principle of sustainable development should be strengthened,and the area of farmland for grain production should be stabilized.展开更多

Current studies mainly discuss the effect of overseas industrial parks from the perspective of institutional and cultural difference, multi-scale coupling, as well as key partnerships, while little attention has been paid to the comprehensive analysis of overseas industrial parks. Based on a theoretical framework, this paper explores the overall effect of China's overseas industrial parks from the geo-effects perspective by using field interviews and a case study approach. The research shows that:(1) the geo-effects reveal the over effect of overseas industrial parks from the multiple and complementary dimensions of geopolitics, geo-economics, geo-society and geo-culture;(2) the Cambodia Sihanoukville Special Economic Zone, as a flagship BRI project, has produced the prominent and positive geo-effects;(3) the institutional-economic-cultural-environmental adaptability of overseas industrial parks is becoming important. Overseas industrial parks must be rooted in the politics, economy, society, and culture of host country;embedded in local social networks;balance the rights and interests of all stakeholders;and form the community of interests, community of destiny, and community of responsibility with political mutual trust, economic integration, cultural inclusiveness, and social harmony. The paper not only deepens the understanding about the overall effect of overseas industrial parks, but also provides decision support and theoretical reference for government policy makers and the overseas investment of enterprises.展开更多
