The ecological analysis of a new round land use planning based on ecological footprint in Guangxi

Ecological footprint analysis is an important method in solving the measurement problems of sustainable development. In this paper, based on the method of Guangxi in the years of ecological environment were analyzed. Using time series model and made future years of ecological footprint in total forecasts. By using grey prediction model predicted population growth, various types of land supply and consumption. The per capita ecological footprint and per capita ecological carrying capacity had been computed in Guangxi for years. Then, the paper calculated ecological footprint and ecological carrying capacity in planning target years. Finally a new round of Guangxi land use planning of ecological evaluation got in this research from the comparison of results.
