Ecological footprint analysis of resource-based and heavy industrial city sustainable development

摘要

The ecological footprint model with food, house, energy and waste as consumption accounts through analysis of urban matter and energy consumption was established. Based on 2000-2009 data of Fushun, a resource-based and heavy industrial city, ecological footprint, ecological carrying capacity and ecological surplus/deficit of Fushun were analyzed, respectively, and then urban sustainable development status was evaluated. The results show that the urban development state is ecological deficit and ecological deficit index have been increased from 5.227hm~2/cap to 6.516hm /cap during 2000-2009, Fushun is always under an overload condition, which is highly unsustainable. The ecological footprint is 89.39% made up by the fossil energy footprint on average, the main consumption of Fushun's development are fossil energy land. And then urban 10~4 Yuan GDP ecological footprint index decreased from 5.660 hm~2/cap to 2.247hm~2/cap during 2000-2009, the urban energy utilizing efficiency have been improved.
