Assessing Regional Sustaionability In Changbai Mountain Area Based On Ecological Footprint And Human Development Index

The sustainable development of a region is related to the present and future of the region.The Changbai Mountain area is located in the eastern part of Jilin Province,with a good ecological environment,but the economic development is slow.The evaluation of the sustainability of the Changbai Mountain area has important guiding significance for the socio-economic development and ecological environment protection of the region.However,the research on sustainable evaluation in Changbai Mountain area still needs to be further expanded.The relevant literatures have found that there is currently no research on the sustainability evaluation of Changbai Mountain from the perspective of ecological consumption and social welfare.To this end,this paper studies the spatial and temporal dynamics of the ecological footprint and human development index of Changbai Mountain from 1990 to 2015 from multiple scales,and evaluates the sustainability of Changbai Mountain.The main workand findings are as follows:(1)Revealed the temporal and spatial dynamics of the per capita ecological footprint of the Changbai Mountain area from 1990 to 2015.Using the ecological footprint model,the ecological footprint of the Changbai Mountain area was analyzed at three scales,including the per capita ecological footprint,the per capita ecological carrying capacity and the per capita ecological loss.Evolution.Through research,it is found that between 1990 and 2015,the per capita ecological footprint of Changbai Mountain has shown a growing trend.The per capita ecological carrying capacity remained stable overall.The per capita ecological surplus showed a decreasing trend from 1990 to 2000.By 2010,the per capita ecological deficit was an ecological deficit.By 2015,the ecological deficit was basically stable and slightly decreased.From the perspective of three prefectures(states),the per capita ecological footprint shows a growing trend.The per capita ecological carrying capacity is consistent with the trend of the whole region.There was no obvious fluctuation between 1990 and 2015,and the state remained basically stable.The per capita ecological loss situation has been deteriorating.In 1990,the ecological loss status of the three cities(states)was ecological surplus status.Since 2000,ecological deficits have emerged.From 1990 to 2015,the per capita ecological footprint of counties(cities)in Changbai Mountain area of Changbai Mountain showed an increasing trend.The fastest growth was Tonghua County,followed by Huinan County.The slowest growth was Meihekou City,followed by Liuhe County..The per capita ecological carrying capacity has no obvious fluctuations and is relatively stable.The per capita ecological carrying capacity of most counties(cities)has increased slightly,such as Longjing City and Helong City.The per capita ecological profit and loss trend is:the per capita ecological surplus of counties(cities)showing ecological surplus status is decreasing,and the per capita ecological deficit of counties(cities)with ecological deficits is increasing.(2)Reveal the temporal and spatial dynamics of the human development index from 1990 to 2015 in Changbai Mountain.Using the Human Development Index,the temporal and spatial dynamics of the human development index in Changbai Mountain were analyzed on three scales:the whole region,cities(states)and counties(cities).The study found that the human development index of the elderly Baishan area in 1990-2010 showed an increasing trend,and the social welfare of residents in the region increased steadily.The overall trend of the human development index of each city(state)is consistent with the whole region,showing a growing trend.Life expectancy has been increasing,the education index has been getting higher and higher,and the material living standard index has been greatly improved.From 1990 to 2010,the human development indexes of counties(cities)have increased to varying degrees,and the level of social welfare has continued to increase,but there are still some differences in individual counties(cities).(3)Evaluation of the sustainable development status of Changbai Mountain area from 1990 to 2010.The sustainable development status of counties(cities)in Changbai Mountain area was classified,and the sustainable development of Changbai Mountain area was evaluated by using ecological welfare performance.The study found that the Changbai Mountain area changed from the non-sustainable development status of "low welfare,low consumption" in 1990 to the non-sustainable development status of "high welfare,high consumption" in 2010.Yanbian Prefecture changed from the non'sustainable development status of "low welfare,low consumption" in 1990 to the non-sustainable development status of "low welfare,high consumption" in 2000.Baishan City and Tonghua City were "low consumption in 1990".The non-sustainable state of "low welfare" will be transformed into a non-sustainable state of "high welfare,high consumption" by 2010.In 1990,counties(cities)were divided into two types of non-sustainable development:“low welfare,high consumption" and“low welfare,low consumption".In the 2010 eco-wealth performance rankings,eight of the ten counties(cities)in the first half of the ranking belonged to Baishan City or Tonghua City,of which Jingyu County and Changbai County were in a sustainable state.Six of the counties(cities)in the second half of the ranking belong to Yanbian Prefecture,and three of the counties(cities)belong to the category of“low welfare,low consumption"and are not sustainable.Overall,the performance of ecological welfare in Baishan City and Tonghua City is higher than that in Yanbian Prefecture.
