Research on Regional Ecological Compensation Mechanism Based on Improved Footprint Model and Ecosystem Service Value

Abstract

In order to solve the problem that the compensation and environment in the ecological compensation are separated from each other and the theoretical compensation amount is excessively high, it is of great significance to study the establishment of a reasonable and feasible ecological compensation mechanism. From the perspective of ecosystem service value, this paper substitutes and replaces the sustainable ecological profit and loss index calculated by the “consumption-output” ecological footprint model and compensation correction coefficient on the calculation idea based on the unit area value equivalent factor. The new ecological compensation standard and the accounting method of compensation priority are obtained, and the empirical analysis is carried out in Linxiang City as an example. Results are as follows: (1) The total value of ecosystem services in Linxiang City is higher, but the regional distribution is different, and the supply and demand are not balanced in space. (2) The regional ecological compensation standard model of Linxiang City has certain rationality. The ecological compensation standards of all regions are smaller than the upper limit of ecosystem service value. (3) Chengfeng Township first obtained ecological compensation, Chang`an town paid compensation first, and Taolin Town finally received compensation. The ecological compensation standard revised by the “consumption-output” model is economically reasonable within the regional GDP tolerance. The compensation is based on the “high non-market value output” and low GPD output area as the priority to obtain compensation logic. And the logic is in line with the concept of reality.
