Abstract

Ecological footprint(EF)is one of the most important methods to evaluate the sustainability of region development. The ecological footprints and ecological capacity(EC) during 2009 to 2014 were calculated based on the ecological footprint theory and model for Shifang City.The results showed that within the study period, the ecological footprint per capita increased, the ecological deficit per capita decline sharply from -1.4999 hm² to -1.5868 hm²,and the ecological capacity per capita increased only slightly. With the increase of resource consumption in Shifang City in recent years, the mode of development was not sustainable. The coordination of social and economic development and ecological environment was getting poor.In order to achieve the goals of eco-city building plan and sustainable development strategy in Shifang City, recommendations were made based on the analysis of this study, including controlling the size of population, protecting the resources of cultivated land, adjusting the structure of agricultural industry, and optimizing life style and production mode of the people.
