[Regional eco-economic resilience of Changzhi city].
Based on the theory of resilience, an eco-economic resilience coefficient model was proposed, and the regional eco-economic resilience of Changzhi City in 2001-2006 was analyzed. In the City, the ecological footprint was increased from 8.6569 x 10(6) hm2 in 2001 to 19.8190 x 10(6) hm2 in 2006. The ecological footprint of energy was 1/2 or more of the regional ecological footprint, and its increasing rate was decreasing and lower than that of regional economic growth. The eco-economic resilience coefficient of the City decreased from 0.80 in 2002 to 0.10 in 2006. Relative to economic growth, the demand for natural resources was decreasing. To achieve the sustainable development of Changzhi City, some countermeasures including readjusting industrial structure, changing habitant consumption patterns, increasing regional ecological capacity, decreasing the increasing rate of ecological footprint, and strengthening regional eco-economic resilience were proposed.
