Reviews on Resources and Environment Carrying Capacity Model and Evaluation Methods Both in China and Abroad——Based on Content Analysis

This paper researches the domestic and foreign relevant literature information about resources and environmental carryin g capacity between 1991 and 2012 based on content analysis method.And it takes 978 papers related to resources and environment carrying capacity which was sifted via searching the database of CNKI,SCI and SSCI as the subject investigated.Through comprehensive analysis of the model and evaluation method established and used by domestic and foreign literature information about resources and environmental carrying capacity,this paper introduces the characteristics and trends,these are: from qualitative to the integration of qualitative and quantitative,from single to comprehensive,from static to dynamic state.Now,ecological footprint approach dominates resources and environment carrying capacity evaluation method.In the future,we should make full use of the theory such as mathematics,systems theory,dynamics,computer science,econometrics,environmental sciences based on the trait of investigation,and gradually establish a perfect,dynamic,and accurate evaluation method and model of resource environmental bearing capacity.
