Abstract
The regional sustainable development objectively requires the ecological carrying capacity evaluation, which could provide scientific basis for the reasonable arrangement of industrial layout as well as urban and rural land use. This paper based on the shijiazhuang city as an example, uses the method of ecological footprint to evaluate land carrying capacity of Shijiazhuang city. Using the method of ecological footprint calculates the ecological footprint, ecological carrying capacity and ecological deficit of Shijiazhuang in 1996 and 2000 and 2006 during 1996 to 2006, Besides, do the comparison with other areas at home and abroad. The results shows that the ecological carrying capacity of Shijiazhuang decreased from 0.3616hm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> /cap to 0.3227hm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> /cap in 11 years while the ecological footprint increased 2.4893 hm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> /cap to 4.690 hm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> /cap, Compared with other areas, the ecological footprint and ecological deficit far exceeds the national average in most areas.
