资源安全是国家安全的重要组成部分。国家资源安全须建立在地区间合理分工与协作的基础之上 ,是对地区资源安全的整合。我国东、中、西三大地带的资源赋存状况和社会经济条件差异显著 ,在保障国家资源安全方面承担的职能也应有所区别。能源和矿产资源是非原位性资源 ,地区间的合理配置是保障国家资源安全的基础 ;为此 ,本文在综合考虑资源条件、交通运输条件以及生态条件等因素的前提下 ,进行了国家能矿资源安全的功能区域划分 ,提出应将全国的能矿资源富集区划分为开发区、接替区和储备区三种类型 ,并将这一划分方案具体运用到西部地区 ,针对各能矿资源集中区的实际情况 ,提出了相应的对策和建议。最后 ,在客观评价西部能矿资源特点及开发现状的基础上 ,展望了西部在国家资源安全格局中所应具有的地位以及为此需要做出的努力。

Resource security is an important part of the national security. National resource security is based on the integration of regional resource securities within the same country. From social, economic and natural aspects, the East, the Middle and the West of China should undertake different functions in national resource security. The energy & mineral resources are extractive resources whose rational allocation in different areas is vital to the national resource security. This paper makes a compartmentalization of the functional areas for the national resource security by taking account of resource, transportation and ecological situations. Here, the areas rich in energy & mineral resources are divided into three functional regions: the exploiting region, the relaying region and the reserving region. Furthermore, this scheme has been put into practice by using the West China as a studying object. For the situations are various, the concrete countermeasures should be different. At the end of this paper, based on the impersonal assessment of the energy & mineral characteristics and the current exploiting situations, the prospect as well as the relevant proposals of the West China in the country’s resource security frame is brought forward.
