A Study of Regional Sustainable Development Based on Modified Model of Energetic Ecological Footprint-A Case Study of Nantong City, Jiangsu Province
A traditional model of energetic ecological footprint was modified through adding artificial input indexes
unifying energy density and introducing energy-releasing/standard-coal coefficient
based on the assessment of the traditional model. Then
the sustainable development level of Nantong City
Jiangsu Province from 1996 to 2010 was measured with the modified model. Results show that: (1) The ecological footprint of Nantong City increased from 0.65 to 0.90 hm2 per capita from 1996 to 2010
caused by the rapid energy consumption. (2) The ecological carrying capacity of Nantong City increased from 0.51 to 0.81 hm2 per capita during the period
supported by the growth of agricultural and hydropower production
with a large potential of labor and capital input. (3) Nantong City has been in a state of ecological dificit
and the sustainability evaluation index was always larger than 0.5 from 1996 to 2010
which means that Nantong City was in an unsustainable state. In order to narrow the gap between ecological footprint and ecological carrying capacity
some measures can be put forward: guiding major industries and enterprises to save energy and exploiting new energy actively; increasing the investment in agricultural technology to improve agricultural production; and paying attention to investment in human resources and promoting technology and capital intensified economy.
