Concept,research framework and construction path of river ethics
Rivers,as the cradle of human civilization,possess fundamental ethical forms and unique ethical value.With the rap-id development of modern society and the excessive exploitation of natural resources,river eco-environmental issues have become increasingly severe,so it is significant to explore the concept,research framework and construction path of river ethics.From an ethical perspective,this paper defines river ethics as an ideology that endows rivers with life,morality,rights,and value.The con-notation of river ethics and the significance of constructing river ethics are explained.The research framework of river ethics is constructed from five aspects:research objective,connotation interpretation,construction significance,main content and construc-tion path.The main research content includes five parts:theoretical basis,ideology,problem assessment,construction path and support system of river ethics.Based on this research,and starting from the supporting system of river ethics(including the ideo-logical system,institutional system,cultural system,engineering system,technical system,and management system),we summarize and put forward 10 construction paths of river ethics.The research results are expected to provide theoretical support for the study and application of river ethics system.
