- Abstract:
-
Firstly, the parameters of ecological footprint model were explored locally based on ‘national hectare’, and the per capita ecological footprint and per capita ecological carrying capacity of four cities in the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration(Shanghai, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Hefei)from 2006 to 2016 were calculated. Then, the sustainable situation of the study area was evaluated and analyzed by some indexes. The results show that the ecological footprint per capita and the ecological pressure index of the four cities presented the rising trend from 2006 to 2016, indicating that the pressure of human activities on natural ecosystems was increasing; the ecological footprint per 10 000 yuan GDP was decreasing, indicating that the utilization efficiency of resources was improving; the ecological sustainability index of the four cities was below 0.2, which belonged to a strong unsustainable state. Through the research, we can see that in recent years, human activities in these four cities have excessive consumption of resources. Ecosystem is under tremendous pressure. The sustainable development of the region is not optimistic, and relevant measures need to be taken to make it develop in a sustainable direction.
