Improved Model

On the basis of ecological footprint, the energy analysis theory is used to establish the urban ecological footprint model , the model is used to calculate the ecological footprint of Yantai and measure the regional sustainable development status.The influense that the international trade to the regional ecological footprint is considered in the article.The improved model is applied to analyse the enviroment status of eco-economic system of Yantai in 2008.The results indicate the ecological footprint of Yantai is 12.9082hm2, and the aquatic prdouct is 7.57 hm2occupying 58.6% of the total footprint, the ecological footprint is 0.477 hm2, the ecological footprint is bigger than the ecological capacity.

Development Assessment

Based on the survey on deficiencies of ecological footprint model applied on regional sustainable development assessment, modification of the ecological footprint model was preliminarily discussed on three aspects: concept extension, combination with other index, and introduction of quantitative estimate indices for time series calculation. This discussion provided a scientific guidance of applying ecological footprint model on regional sustainability assessment, and a theoretical basis for further case study.

Reasonable Use

Reasonable use of land or not, directly related to the sustainable development of a country or region. This paper introduced the basic concept, calculation formula and method of the ecological footprint. We calculated the ecological footprint of Shenzhen by application of the ecological footprint model. The results showed that the per capita ecological footprint in Shenzhen in 2011 was approximately 2.486 hm2, while the per capita ecological capacity was approximately 0.0597 hm2, the per capita ecological deficit was approximately -2.433 hm2, and the ecological footprint is about 47.33 times greater than the ecological capacity. Finally, we discussed the limitations of applying the ecological footprint model to judge the sustainable use of land in this paper.

Ecological Carrying Capacity

To improve the ecological footprint model in aspect of reflecting sustainability of the economic, social and technological, the emergy analysis and socio-economic system development index were introduced into the model. The modified ecological footprint model was applied in the calculation of ecological carrying capacity and ecological footprint in Tibet, China. The ecological carrying capacity/cap is 19.13hm2, and the ecological footprint/cap is 8.96hm2. The result shows that the Tibet region is under the condition of ecological surplus and it is suitable for further programs development to some extent. But the high proportion of energy resources, cement and fertilizer utility should draw attention during the exploitation or construction progress.

Ecological Pressure

The ecological footprint demand and ecological capacity for the six types of productive land during 2005~2010 are calculated using the ecological footprint model in this paper by taking Dongying City as the example, and the ecological deficit of Dongying City is thereby figured out. Based on this, the indicators such as the ecological footprint of 10k yuan GDP, the ecological pressure index, the ecological diversity index, and the social economic development index, etc representing the sustainable development are calculated and analyzed, to learn that it is not allowed to be optimistic about the ecological environment in Dongying in recent years, as the ecological deficit has increased year after year, and the ecological pressure has become heavier and heavier. However, it is learned through analysis of the ecological footprint of 10k yuan GDP and the social economic development index that under the situation when the ecological pressure on economic growth in the ecological economic system of Dongying is increased, a tendency exists for the consumptive and extensive economic growth pattern to gradually step towards the ecologically intensive pattern, but it is still required to make more efforts in the aspects of reducing the ecological footprint demand and improving the ecological capacity.

Footprint Model

Under the concept of green development, the promotion of ecological sustainable development capability has become an important policy objective of the Chinese government. Based on the three-dimensional ecological footprint model, this paper analyzes the ecological footprint, ecological carrying capacity, and ecological sustainable development capacity of Hunan province from 2005 to 2015. The results show that the total ecological footprint of Hunan increases from 2005 to 2015, in which the forest land ecological footprint accounts for the largest proportion. The ecological footprint depth is always greater than 1, indicating that Hunan has been in a state of ecological deficit; in the context of the distribution, the ecological pressure of Hunan shows a “high in surround while low in central” pattern. The results about the ecological footprint diversity index show that although the ecosystem of Hunan is stability, the level of eco-economic development ability is low. The ecological efficiency represented by GDP per unit of ecological footprint shows that Hunan’s ecological efficiency increases with an average rate of 13.12% annually during 2005–2015 because of the improvement of the factor substitution.
