Abstract:

We present quantitative parameters for urban ecosystem carrying capacity of Jinan with the theory of city ecosystem carrying capacity and Jinan as a subject from the perspective of maintaining the health of a city ecosystem, its stability and sustainable development. We also construct an urban ecological supporting force model, an urban ecological pressure model and an urban ecological carrying capacity model. We then apply the evaluation index system and model to the evaluation for Jinan city ecosystem carrying capacity from 2004 to 2008, and analyze its changing law. These can provide a scientific basis and theoretical support for sustainable area development and environmental protection.

Key words: ecological carrying capacity, comprehensive evaluation, Jinan
