Study on the Regional Environmental Carrying Capacity

Abstract:

The regional Environmental carrying capacity is the support base to achieve the coordinated development between the regional economy, the society and the environment, which is an important criterion to judge whether the strength of resources development is coordinated with the Environmental carrying capacity and that is also a prerequisite to develop the regional ecological planning. In this paper, the index system of Environmental carrying capacity has been established by taking Huludao Economic Development Zone as the example. At the same time, the dynamic characterization parameters of regional environmental carrying capacity have been also introduced--- the concept and the econometric model of the relative surplus rate of regional environmental　carrying capacity. It is calculated that the surplus rate of the regional integrated environmental carrying capacity is 0.039, which has provided the basis for developing the ecological planning of Huludao Economic Development Zone.
