“…For instance, the system dynamics model can systematically simulate the process of land resources on the social economy, so as to discuss the carrying capacity of land resources on the social economy [12,13]. The ecological footprint method converts all kinds of resources consumed by human beings into standard land by ecological footprint, connects land resources and human needs, and then calculates land carrying capacity [15][16][17][18][19]. Some methods, such as index system method, only provide relative values, not the absolute answer to the problem.…”

“…The most vulnerable townships are Kouhu, Sihu, and Yuanchang; the least vulnerable are Mailiao, Dounan, Shuilin, and Linnei (Figure 1). The ecological footprint can be used to measure human demand for resources and ecological services, as well as understand the relationship among human living habits, consumption patterns, and natural capital consumption [19]. The size of the EF is proportional to the impact on the environment; the larger the footprint, the greater the impact on the environment.…”

“…The EFA that was used in this study differs from most EFAs, which are obtained using a top-down approach, with six categories of bioproductive land-cropland, grazing land, fishing ground, forest land, land for fixing carbon and built-up land. Environmental footprints are summed, considering equivalence factors, [39,40] to calculate food, forest, carbon and other footprints. In this study, only the carbon footprint and built-up land footprint, which are two of the six components of the EF, are estimated.…”
