基于生态足迹的可持续评价指标体系的构建

Design of Sustainability Indicators System Based on Ecological Footprint

目的鉴于生态足迹法存在的缺陷,增加新的指标以改进该方法在评价区域可持续发展中的不足,构建可持续发展定量评价的新指标体系,完善可持续发展评价法。方法在生态足迹法的基础上,提出了生态压力指数、生态占用指数、生态经济协调指数和可持续发展指数4个概念,且制定了相应的指标等级划分标准,形成新的指标体系。结果利用该评价指标体系对全球147个国家及中国部分省、市和县作了评价。结论该评价指标体系可运用于不同时空条件下的可持续评价。

[Objective] Considering the deficiency of ecological footprint method, it is significant to ameliorate the region sustainable quantitative assessment by making a new indicators system. [Method] Based on the principle of ecological footprint, this paper put forward four concepts, which are ecological tension index, ecological occupancy index, ecological economic coordination index and sustainable development index, as indicators of sustainability assessment system. Accordingly, the standard of footprint indexes rank is constituted. [ Result] The indicators system and rank partition standard are used to evaluate the 147 countries in the world and some provinces, cities and counties in China. [ Conclusion] The new indicators system and standard can be well used for the sustainable quantitative assessment at various temporal and spatial levels.
