Abstract:This article uses Hicks' holistic theory as the starting point to discuss the typical environmental governance representative of pollution control in industrial parks.Territorial fragmentation and holistic governance are two internal logics. The logical evolution between the two requires not only a change in geographic scope, but also a change from "individual thinking" to "group consciousness".Through a field survey of Qianjiang Industrial Park in Chizhou City, Anhui Province, it explained the internal logic of fragmentation and the internal mechanism of integrity.The fragmentation of governance bodies, governance responsibilities, governance resources, and governance information are the reasons for the poor efficiency of pollution control in industrial parks. Therefore, integrated governance is introduced to recreate the governance mechanism of industrial parks. Ultimately, we must reflect on the scientific and rationalization of pollution control methods in industrial parks, and improve the effects of environmental protection and pollution control in industrial parks.
