Abstract:
The method of ecological footprints was commonly used in the evaluation of the sustainable development degree in nations and regions. In this paper, the ecological footprints, ecological bearing capacity and ecological deficit were calculated. Their results showed that current Panzhihua ecological footprints and deficit presented an extended trend year by year generally from 2000 to 2009 and varied from 9.9539 hm
2 to 16.6689 hm
2 and from 1.0973 hm
2 to 1.1683 hm
2 respectively, which was 10 to 15 times higher than Ya'an, Chengdu, China in the likely years, and the society development of Panzhihua City was in strong unsustainable status. Analysis indicated that this current development status of Panzhihua City was the basic character of export-oriented cities with industrial resources, and was a subsystem in the composition of Region science development stratagem due to smaller spatial scale. In this paper, the way was proposed for consummating the degree of ecological architecture, enhancing the degree of economic supply and optimizing the degree of society requirement in order to realize science development stratagem in Panzhihua City.
