中文摘要：

计算了2000～2008年长株潭地区的生态足迹。结果表明：该地区平均生态赤字由2000年的1．2384h秆增加到2008年的2，0961hmz；到2008年底，其生态赤字超出生态承载力4.3倍，生态赤字是2000年的1．7倍，长株潭地区呈现出了不可持续发展状态。根据长株潭地区的现状，提出了可持续发展的优化方案。

英文摘要：

The ecological footprint in Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan region from 2000 to 2008 was calculated. The results indicated that the average ecological deficit in this region increased from 1.238 4 hm2 in 2000 to 2.096 1 hm2 in 2008; by the end of 2008, the ecological deficit in this region exceeded ecological carrying capacity by 4.3 fold and was 1.7 fold of that in 2000. Therefore, Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan region showed a state of unsustainable development. According to the status quo of Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan region, a optimized scheme for sustainable development in this region was proposed.
