借鉴已有环境承载力研究成果,以人地关系地域系统理论为理论基础,文中提出了区域环境承载力的概念,认为某一区域的环境承载力是环境系统提供社会经济发展所需资源的支撑能力和吸纳污染物的同化能力之和。基于此概念,运用能值分析方法,通过将环境支撑能力和环境同化能力转化为与之相等价的土地面积,构建了用以评价区域环境承载状况的定量分析方法,并将其应用于新疆维吾尔族自治区和宁夏回族自治区。
Based on the present studies on Environmental Carrying Capacity(ECC) and its quantitative analysis method,taking the theory of Human-environmental Areal System as theoretical basis,we raised the definition of Regional Environmental Carrying Capacity(RECC) referring natural resources and the quantitative measure method.The RECC is the supporting capacity to supply resource demands of social-economic development,and the assimilative ability to assimilate the pollution discharged by social-economic system,and the two kinds of capacity are based on the natural resources(includes Renewable and Non-renewable).On the basis of the definition,we transformed supporting and assimilative capacity into equivalent land area by using emergy analysis method,and built the method for measuring RECC,and applied the method to analysis the RECC of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region.
