Optimum Population Measure on Basis of Land Comprehensive Carrying Capacity in Xi'an City
[Objective] Measure and analyze the optimum population of Xi'an City from 2001 to 2011
in order to discuss the characteristics and the cause of the change in the population carrying capacity
and to put forward the optimization countermeasures.[Methods] Four models
which are food carrying capacity
ecological footprint
improved economy carrying capacity and improved comprehensive carrying capacity were used.[Results] The population size and structure of Xi'an City presented periodic characteristics in different phases from 2001 to 2011. Since 2004
population carrying deficit has always existed
and with this situation
the trend of it became smooth after a rapid growth stage. The economy carrying capacity of Xi'an City was stronger
however
the food and ecological population carrying capacity was insufficient.[Conclusion] In the process of improving the area comprehensive carrying capacity of Xi'an City
the land carrying capacity is the base
the economy carrying capacity is the key point
and the ecology carrying capacity is the limitation.
