Abstract

In some cities, the economic development remains high, but the ecological environment deteriorates rapidly. This means that their economy has exceeded the limits of urban ecological carrying capacity. Based on the P-S-R model, the quantitative index system of urban ecological carrying capacity was constructed, and the evaluation model of urban ecological carrying capacity including ecological support model, ecological pressure model and ecological carrying capacity model was established. The ecosystem capacity of Chongqing from 2007 to 2016 was evaluated comprehensively by using the evaluation index system. According to the evaluation results, the paper puts forward targeted guidance for the construction of ecological civilization in Chongqing, provides reference for ecological construction and sustainable development in Chongqing, and provides reference for the study of ecological carrying capacity in other areas.
