Abstract

In the context of the new urbanization, ensuring ecological security of land use is one of the most basic prerequisite for ecological civilization construction. This paper is based on the theory of ecological footprint, and use ecological pressure index to evaluate the state of land-use ecological security of Yiwu City, Zhejiang Province. The results indicate land ecological pressure indexes increasing from 2.5912 in 2008 to 2.8029 in 2012 are gradually on the rise in Yiwu City. The deterioration of land-use ecological security is exacerbating. Finally, suggestions improving ecological security of land use are proposed from arable land protection, energy saving, and ecological and environmental comprehensive management.
