Abstract

The paper measured the Ecological Footprint (EF) from 1988 to 2008 for Hangzhou by EF calculation method. The results showed that: The EF per person of Hangzhou grew from 1.1561hm2 in 1988 to maximum 2.22333hm2 in 2007 in recent twenty years. The Ecological Deficit (ED) appeared in Hangzhou since 1995, and increased gradually from 0.00707hm2/cap in to 0.95481hm2/cap. The appearance of ED had indicated that the EF of Hangzhou is bigger than the Ecological capacity, and we should try to reduce the Carbon Footprint, to realizing the green development.
