Abstract

Abstract: On the basis of the previous studies, six key issues can be identified which are static state of the model, shortage of the flexibility of parameter choice, ignoring of the influence that socioeconomic factors give to the productivity of lands, unilateralism of the ecological accounting, weakness of sustainability assessments and overlooking the complexity of land quality or function. Furthermore, the authors point out another kind of defect that there is a conceptual shortage in original trade-correct method and suggest a series of methods to adjust ecological footprint model, then analyze the feasibility of these methods and discuss the challengeso as to perfect the ecological footprint theory and methodology.

Key words: ecological footprint, theory, methodology, defect, sustainable development

摘要： 通过系统性的整合以往的研究成果，认为生态足迹理论方法除了存在评价模型的静态性、模型参数选择的弹性不足、社会经济因素对土地生产力的影响被忽略、生态账户涵盖不全面、评价结果与可持续的非对等性和忽略土地质量和功能的复杂性等方面的缺陷外，还存在贸易调整方法在概念上不足的问题。并针对各类缺陷提出一系列改进途径，分析这些改进途径的可行性和所要面临的挑战，以求对生态足迹理论及方法论的进一步完善提供依据。

关键词: 生态足迹, 理论, 方法论, 缺陷, 可持续发展
