Abstract

According to the implementation of a scientific development perspective, sustainable development needs to consider regional development, economic and social development, and the harmonious development of society and nature, but regional sustainable development is often difficult to quantify. Through an analysis of the structure and functions of a regional system, this paper establishes an evaluation index system, which includes an economic subsystem, an ecological environmental subsystem and a social subsystem, to study regional sustainable development capacity. A sustainable development capacity measure model for Sichuan Province was established by applying the information entropy calculation principle and the Brusselator principle. Each subsystem and entropy change in a calendar year in Sichuan Province were analyzed to evaluate Sichuan Province’s sustainable development capacity. It was found that the established model could effectively show actual changes in sustainable development levels through the entropy change reaction system, at the same time this model could clearly demonstrate how those forty-six indicators from the three subsystems impact on the regional sustainable development, which could make up for the lack of sustainable development research.

Highlights

Along with the world’s economic structural adjustment, China’s economic development pressure has been gradually increasing, with regional development being often unbalanced, uncoordinated, and discontinuous
As the basic requirement for the implementation of a scientific development perspective, sustainable development needs to consider all aspects of economic construction, political construction, cultural construction, social construction and ecological civilization construction, and needs to consider regional development, economic and social development, and the harmonious development of society and nature
The results suggested that moderate land use change with steady economic growth was the key to sustainable urban development [8]

Summary

Introduction

Along with the world’s economic structural adjustment, China’s economic development pressure has been gradually increasing, with regional development being often unbalanced, uncoordinated, and discontinuous. As a large developing country, China has a large population, resource shortages, ecological imbalances, environmental pollution, and serious social and environmental problems such as rising unemployment [1]. Social, and environmentally coordinated development strategies can the present problems be fundamentally solved. As the basic requirement for the implementation of a scientific development perspective, sustainable development needs to consider all aspects of economic construction, political construction, cultural construction, social construction and ecological civilization construction, and needs to consider regional development, economic and social development, and the harmonious development of society and nature. Due to the acceleration of the urbanization process and the deterioration of the organization and service functions of urban ecosystems, economic activities, ecological environmental capacity, and even social sustainable
