- Abstract:
-
In order to analyze the sustainable development status of Yan’an City, the indexes including GDP ecological footprint, ecological footprint diversity, land carrying capacity and ecological footprint index (EFI), etc. were used to analyze the development status of Yan’an City. The results showed that ecological footprint grew faster than land carrying capacity in Yan’an City during the period from 2006 to 2014; seriously ecological deficit existed in Yan’an City; moreover, the ecological footprint and land carrying capacity both presented the low diversity and unevenly distributed; with respect to the ecological footprint, fossil land and grass land took up 95%; with respect to the ecological capacity, arable land and forest accounted for 87%; GDP ecological footprint gradually decreased, which indicated that the efficiency in resource use slowly increased from 2006 to 2014. The result of EFI showed that the badly unsustainable development existed in Yan’an City.
