The ecological footprint of yueyang city during the period 2000 to 2007 was calculated based on the theory and method of ecological footprint. The results showed that during 8 years, the ecological footprint of yueyang city has been ascending, Ecological footprint per capita increased from2.8387hm2 in 2000 to3.8382hm2 in 2007. The ecological capacity fluctuated warmly but changed little. The range of ecological deficit fluctuates from 2.436hm2 in 2000 to 3.4524hm2 in 2007. which refects that regional ecosystem was under the pressure of human over-exploit-ed ecological resource so that it affected the sustainable develop-ment seriously. The continuous decrease of ecological footprint of 104yuan refects that the efficiency of resource was continuously improved, economics devolopment capacity was gradully increasing. Some countermeasures are proposed for the purpose of stimulating the sustainable development of the district: establishing the concept of eco-balance, controling the population and alleviating the pressure on ecosystem,guiding people to carrying out the rational consumption.% 基于生态足迹的理论和方法,本文对岳阳市2000~2007年生态足迹进行计算,结果表明：8年期间,岳阳市人均生态足迹呈现上升趋势,人均足迹由2000年的2.8387hm2上升为2007年的3.8382 hm2.生态承载力出现缓慢波动,变化不大.生态赤字由2000年的2.436 hm2上升为2007年的3.4524 hm2,生态赤字反映区域生态系统处于人类过度开发利用的压力之下,生态可持续发展受到严重影响.万元GDP生态足迹的平稳下降表明资源利用效率不断提高,经济发展能力逐步增强.根据分析,提出岳阳市可持续发展策略：树立生态平衡发展观,控制人口数量、减轻人口对生态系统的压力,引导人们合理消费.
