生态足迹是分析和评价国家或地区可持续发展的重要指标。利用山西省河津市统计年鉴的数据,计算了河津市2000年至2008年的生态足迹,评价了河津可持续发展的水平,结果表明,河津市人均生态足迹由2000年的1.380 2hm2增加到2008年的2.807 2 hm2,人均生态承载力由2000年的0.689 4 hm2减少到2008年的0.364 6 hm2,人均生态赤字不断增加,指出,河津市目前的发展模式是不可持续的,区域生态系统处于人类过度开发和利用之下,提出了解决这个问题的建议。
The ecological footprint theory(EC) is an important method to evaluate whether the development of a region is sustainable or not.On the basis of the data from the statistical yearbook of Hejin City,this papercalculates and analyzes the ecological footprint of Hejin City in 2000 to 2008 and evaluates the levels of sustainable development in Hejin City based on the calculation results.The results show that ecological footprint per capita(ec) is 1.380 2 in 2000 and 2.807 2 in 2008,also,ecological capacity per capita is 0.6894 in 2000 and 0.3646 in 2008.Further,we can see the ecological deficit(ED) is exaggerating and it is quite evident that the development situation of Hejin City is not sustainable.Finally,the paper puts forward some suggestions to the official.
