The calculation and analysis of ecological footprints of Wuhu city in 2003

Ecology footprint model is an effective implement for surveying and measuring human population and material con- sumption per capita.By quantifying the difference between the demand for service from ecosystem by the economy system of hu- man society and the bearing capacity of the ecosystem to reveal the sustainable development status of a set region,the model can assist governments to explore strategies for sustainable development and the ways to implement them,and provide the public with sufficient information concerning sustainable development.The purpose of this paper is to introduce the conception,area-based indicators and computation of ecological footprint analysis,then take Wuhu City as a case study,calculate and analyze its devel- opment situation in 2003 according to the data of the statistical yearbook of this city.It is suggested that the Wuhu city is in a re- gional unsustainable state.And by comparing different development status among sections of the city,the calculation also offers theoretical reference for decision-making on the city's future construction and development.
