城市化对我国区域生态足迹的影响研究

Research on the Impact of Urbanization on Regional Ecological Footprint

该文根据我国各省生态足迹的特征,将三十个省划分为三类地,研究城市化对我国区域生态足迹的影响,分析产生环境库次涅茨曲线的原因。研究结果显示,第二类省份的城市化率与生态足迹正相关,原因是该类省份处于工业化中期,农用地转化为工业用地使自然环境遭到破坏,环保部门对城市化过程中所造成的环境破坏采取了为经济发展让路的默认政策;第一类和第三类省份的城市化率都与生态足迹负相关,第一类省份的上述负相关关系是由于其已经达到环境库次涅茨曲线倒U型曲线的后半部造成的,第三类省份的负相关关系则是由于其自身地理和经济环境的特点造成的。

this paper studies the impact of urbanization on regional ecological footprint according to the characteristics of the ecological footprint of 30 provinces which can be divided into three regions. Then it further analyzes the cause of Environmental Kuznets Curve. The result shows that the relation between urbanization and the ecological footprint are positive in the second area because this region is during the middle age of industrial development. The natural environment destruction because of the the government has taken to make way for e- conomic development. Urbanization of the first and third region are negatively correlated with the ecological footprint both produced by different reasons. The negative relation in the first area is due to the regional envi- ronment has reached the latter part of the U-shaped Kuznets Curve while the third area is due to the characteris- tics of its own due to geographic and economic environment.
