| The inner Mongolia autonomous region is the earliest-built autonomous region in our country, which is rich in resources and has a wide territory, especially is abound in grassland and mineral. Its total acreage is the biggest among the five pastoral area. As ecological barrier and production base of stock raising, resource pumping base and minority settlements,the sustainable development of inner Mongolia not only matters the local place, but also to the whole country..Laterally, grassland canopy were distributed in the area, from west to the east, they can be classified into five types, that is meadow grassland, typical grassland, desert grassland, semidesert grassland and desert. The passage will do an analysis on sustainability about the five type grassland.The passage is based on the sustainable development theory and the sustainability indicators, then build a sustainability indicators about the pastoral area in inner Mongolia, which is made up of three hierarchies, seventeen indices. The first hierarchy is the general objective for the judges on the pastoral area in inner Mongolia. The second hierarchy of the indicator consists three aspects:economy development, resource environment and social development. While, the third hierarchy include seventeen Indices.In the whole, the passage is to judge the sustainable condition in the inner Mongolia by means of the research into the sustainability in the five type grassland. The indicators build in the passage mainly use principal component analysis, made an compare analysis about the five type areas on their sustainability from the horizontal and vertical aspects. Horizontally, we worked out the score and the rank of the five type grassland in sustainability from the aspect of economy, social and ecology from the year2001to2010. And then add them up, give a general score and rank. From the analysis, we can see that the score and rank in2001is like this:typical grassland, meadow grassland, desert grassland, desert and semidesert grassland. While, in2010,they changed like this:meadow grassland, typical grassland, desert grassland, desert and semidesert grassland. Vertically, we calculated out the score and rank of the five areas in2001,2005and2010separately. Then we drew the conclusion that they are increase by the year. And then, linking theory to Practice, try to find the cause of the result. Finally, we put forward several Suggestions for the sustainable development of Inner Mongolia pastoral areas. |
