应用生态足迹指标对沈阳市高校可持续发展的研究

根据生态足迹成分法的基本原理和计算模型,计算、分析了东北大学等沈阳市九所高校2003年的校园生态足迹和生态效率.研究结果表明:大学校园生态足迹中,主要成分为能源消耗、食品消费和垃圾排放;培养一名学生一年的生态资源占用量约为0.4~1.4 hm2的生态生产性土地;九所高校的生态效率为0.7~2.5人.h m-2.应用该结果从节能、杜绝食品浪费、垃圾处理以及如何开展有效的生态教育方面,为沈阳市高校如何实现自身的可持续发展并通过生态教育为全社会的可持续发展服务,提出了具体规划措施和建议.

Application of Ecological Footprint in Sustainable Development of Universities in Shenyang

The component approach of ecological footprint was used to study the ecological footprints/efficiencies of 9 university campuses in Shenyang in 2003, including Northeastern University. Results show that the main components of ecological footprint for these university campuses include energy consumption, food consumption and waste disposal. The ecologically productive land area required for supporting a student on campus varied between 0.4 to 1.4 hm² or the average ecological efficiency of the 9 universities was 0.7 to 2.5 man/hm². Relevant policies and measures are thus proposed for these universities to enable them to achieve the sustainable development not only campus but contribute it to whole society by way of energy saving, minimizing food waste, waste recycling and ecological education.
