Abstract: A study of certain symplectic 4-orbifolds with vanishing canonical class is initiated. We show that for any such symplectic 4-orbifold X, there is a canonically constructed symplectic 4-orbifold Y, together with a cyclic orbifold covering YightarrowX, such that Y has at most isolated Du Val singularities and a trivial orbifold canonical line bundle. The minimal resolution of Y, to be denoted by ildeY, is a symplectic Calabi-Yau 4-manifold endowed with a natural symplectic finite cyclic action, extending the deck transformations of the orbifold covering YightarrowX. Furthermore, we show that when b1(X)>0, ildeY is a T2-bundle over T2 with symplectic fibers, and when b1(X)=0, ildeY is either an integral homology K3 surface or a rational homology T4; in the latter case, the singular set of X is completely classified. To further investigate the topology of X, we introduce a general successive symplectic blowing-down procedure, which may be of independent interest. Under suitable assumptions, the procedure allows us to successively blow down a given symplectic rational 4-manifold to CP2, during which process we can canonically transform a given configuration of symplectic surfaces to a "symplectic arrangement" of pseudoholomorphic curves in CP2. The procedure is reversible; by a sequence of successive blowing-ups in the reversing order, one can recover the original configuration of symplectic surfaces up to a smooth isotopy.
