中文摘要：

生态足迹是进行可持续发展定量测度的重要研究方法．生态足迹测算，可定量反映长株潭发展对自然生态系统产生的压力和影响程度，为长株潭两型社会建设和可持续发展研究提供定量的基础资料．2007年长株潭城市群人均生态足迹与人均生态赤字分别为1．4738hm^2和0．8162hm^2，并通过分析2000—2007年间长株潭生态足迹的动态变化过程，提出要提高城市群目前的资源利用效率，建立资源节约型与环境友好型的社会生产和消费体系，以实现区域的可持续发展．

英文摘要：

The Ecological Footprint （EF） is an important index to measure the sustainable development. EF analysis into urban ecosystem can quantify the pressure and effect of urban economic activities on natural ecosystems, which provide quantitative basic data for the sustainable development and rebuilding the resource economical and environment-friendly society in Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan urban agglomeration. This paper estimated that Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan＇s EF and per capita deficit of EF in 2007 are 1. 473 8 hm^2 and 0.816 2 hm^2 respectively, and analyzed the trends of EF change during 2000 - 2007. It＇s necessary to improve the resource efficiency of Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan urban agglomeration, and to set up a resource-conserving and environment-friendly production and consumption system in order to achieve the sustainable development of the region.
