Simulation Research of Ecological Footprint in Society-Economy-Population-Resource System of Wuxi

Abstract:

From the perspective of ecological needs, this paper uses ecological footprint to measure ecological needs, establishes a system dynamics model by combining ecology with economics, population and resources to simulate the system of Wuxi, a dynamic prediction is made to provide ideas about constructing a low carbon, ecological city as well as improving the quality of life.
