A modification on this theory is made by introducing consumptive ecological footprint and productive ecological footprint, in which the latter is taken as the indicator of regional sustainability.
The present paper employs two indexes, i.e. "compatibility" and "harmonity", for regional sustainability level to test the total amount of ecosystem capital (EC) and the density of each unit area throughout all the provinces and municipalities of China in the years 1992, 1995 and 2000, and accordingly analyzes the relationship between the GDP changes and the EC.
From the view of ecological safety and sustainable development, it has a very important strategic role to vestern China development and national ecological-economic development, especially to permanently harness the yellow river and to promoting economy of the whole yellow river region by strengthening the ecological restoration of Loess platesu and enhancing regional sustainability.
Along with the highly speedy urbanization and industrialization in the developed area in China, the sprawl of land use has led to the development disorder and difficulties in natural ecology and agricultural land protection, which will threaten the regional sustainability.
This thesis will lead the ecological footprint theory to the research of regional ecological system, and express the pressure and its degree of the natural ecosystem system using the fixed regional ecological footprints, and carry on a study to regional sustainability further, so to provide reasonable countermeasures for it.

Xuzhou City, with an area of 11 258 km 2, is located in the northwestern part of Jiangsu Province. At present, it has high population density, poor land resources and seriously polluted environment. This paper studies quantitatively the sustainable development of the region. The indices to measure regional sustainable development are chosen from the viewpoints of society, economics and ecology, and fuzzy mathematics is applied to evaluate synthetically regional sustainability.
