Abstract:
In this article,the spatiotemporal pattern of resources and environment carrying capacity in the Yangtze River economic belt was investigated by constructing an evaluation index system of resource and environment carrying capacity,using the entropy theory to quantify the index value,and adopting the spatial data exploratory analysis method..The results show that the overall index value of resources and environmental carrying capacity of the Yangtze River economic belt in the 2005-2016 displayed a moderate upward trend,but the index value of urban resources and environmental carrying capacity gradually decreased from the east to west,which was consistent with the levels of economic development.The overall Moran′s I value of the resource and environment carrying capacity in the Yangtze River economic belt keeps on increasing.In terms of local scale evolution,the distribution of hot spots were relatively stable,while those of sub hot spots,sub cold spots and cold spots were relatively unstable.Therefore,cities in the Yangtze River economic belt should achieve self improvement and co development in the future development in order to promote the improvement of resources and environmental carrying capacity of the Yangtze River economic belt and to achieve high quality development.
