Abstract:Traditional development and resource utilization have promoted the rapid growth of regional economy, but led to serious deterioration of ecological environment, waste of resources, and other issues as well, which impede the sustainable development of the region. Taking typical region of Shanxi province as an example, for the first time we put forward the concept of ecological reconstruction of the region in this paper, and further we analyzed the strategic importance of this concept to the green development. Based on that, we raised the scientific conception of the construction of National Ecological Reconstruction Experimental Zone (NEREZ), and then confirmed the strategic positioning of the construction of NEREZ in Shanxi Province. Subsequently, we came up with the construction and relevant policy proposals of NEREZ from the national, provincial, and local level perspectives. The results of this study can provide scientific basis and reference for the ecological reconstruction in Shanxi Province and similar areas.
