长三角地区生态足迹测度研究

A study on the Ecological Footprint measure of the Yangtze River Delta

生态足迹是一种衡量人类对自然资源的利用程度的方法,被广泛用来测度某个地区的可持续发展状况,该文结合2007年长三角地区的数据对该地区的生态足迹和生态容量进行计算,发现长三角地区存在严重的生态赤字,其人均生态缺口达到3.14 hm^2,可持续发展面临着严峻的挑战.通过进一步地观察,可以看出化石燃料的过度使用和草地面积的严重不足在长三角地区人均生态赤字中扮演重要的角色,要实现该地区的长远、持续发展,必须积极加快经济发展模式的转型,发展低碳经济,综合利用各种资源,并积极引导人们转变消费方式.

Ecological footprint is a measure of the extent to which we use resources, and it can be used to measure some region＇s sustainable development situation. This essay calculates the ecological footprint and ecological capacity of the Yangtze River Delta Re- gion, using the data in 2007, the result shows that there exists heavy ecological deficit, that is the ecological gap per person reaches to 3.14 hm^2 , and the sustainable development faces series challenge. Through further observation, we can find that the over usage of the fossil fuels and the shortage of the grassland contribute most to the ecological deficit per person, so in order to enhance the regional development of Yangtze River Delta sustainably, it is agent to transfer the development pattern, adopt low-carbon e- conomy, and make use of various resources synthetically, what＇s more, it is important to change the consumption of people.
