Dynamics Analysis of Ecological Footprint Based on Energy Analysis Theory in Xinjiang from 2001 to 2010

In order to measure and evaluate the status of sustainable development in Xinjiang,aiming at the limits of the traditional ecological footprint model,energy analysisbased on ecological footprint models was used to access the sustainability of development of Xinjiang from 2001 to 2010. After calculating and analyzing the energy-based ecological footprint and energy-based ecological carrying capacity. Conclusions can be made below: During the period from 2000 to 2008,the capita ecological footprint of Xinjiang Province increased from 7. 21 hm2 to 14. 58hm2. The capita ecological carrying capacity of Xinjiang Province had declined from 7. 92 hm2 to 6. 72 hm2 from 2001 to 2010. The ecological deficit was appeared and rapidly increased after the year of 2003. Serval strategies were offered based on analyzing relativity between energybased ecological footprint and energy-based ecological carrying capacity and composition of the ecological deficit to achieve promoting sustainable development in Xinjiang.
