研究湖北省内部可持续发展的趋势,以2005年、2010年、2013年统计数据为基础,应用生态足迹分析法核算湖北省17个市(州、林区)在三个时间节点的生态足迹与生态承载力,对各地区生态足迹和生态盈亏状况从时间和空间上进行动态研究。研究结果表明:湖北省17个市(州、林区)的总生态足迹和人均生态足迹呈迅速增长趋势,其中中部地区增长最快;2005年生态赤字最为严重的地区集中于以武汉为代表的中东部,2013年生态赤字最为严重的地区集中于中西部,生态赤字空间分布的重心逐渐由东部向西部转移;6种生态生产性土地增长速度由快到慢依次是建筑用地、化石能源、草地、水域、林地和耕地,其中潜江、恩施、天门、仙桃、黄冈等地建筑用地生态足迹增速最快,十堰、鄂州、黄石、荆州、荆门等地则是水域生态足迹增速最快,草地、水域、化石能源用地和耕地的生态足迹增长共同决定各地区人均生态足迹的变化趋势。
Ecological footprint closely relating to sustainable development theory was an ecological and economic indexwhich can measure the impact of human activities on the earth's ecological environment, and reflected the sustainabledevelopment level of a country or region quantitatively. Based on the statistical data of 2005,2010 and 2013, using theecological footprint method to account for the ecological footprint and ecological carrying capacity in this three time pointsof 17 cities (State, District) of Hubei province, and then deeply researched the different regions' ecological footprint,ecological carrying capacity and the status of the ecological surplus and deficit from the perspective of time and space toobserve its dynamic changes, the results showed that: on the whole, the total ecological footprint and the per capitaecological footprint of 17 cities (State, District) of Hubei province had showed a trend of rapid growth, in which the centralcity was faster than the other area, such as Shiyan city, Suizhou city, Ezhou city, Yichang city, Xiantao city, Xiangyang cityand Jingmen city, etc. In 2005, the most serious ecological deficit concentrated in the area of east-central Hubei provincewhich represented by Wuhan city. However, the most area serious of ecological deficit had centered on the area of the mid-west areas of Hubei in 2013. The gravity center of the space distribution of ecological deficit had a significant offset fromthe east to the west. The ecological footprint of six kinds of ecological productive land of the 17 cities (State, District) arepresented a rising trend, the growth rate of six types of ecological productive land from high to slow is construction land,fossil energy land, grassland, fishing land, forest land and cropland. Respectively in regional terms, Qianjiang city, EnshiTujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Shennongjia Forestry District, Tianmen city, Xiantao city, Huanggang city,Xiaogan city, Yichang city, Xiangyang city had the fastest growth rates in construction l
