Abstract

We use the frequency analysis, theoretical analysis, and expert consultation methods to build an index system, and estimate the capacity of the sustainable utilization of energy and mineral resources in Wu-Chang region by AHP. The conclusions are as follows: 1) the indexes of the resources scale and support system show significant fluctuations, forming troughs in 1999 and 2005, respectively; 2) the economic resources system index shows an upward trend; 3) environmental pressure and environmental management system indexes show obvious rising phase characteristics; and 4) the sustainable capacity indexes of the energy and mineral resources utilization in Wu-Chang region show steady increasing trends.
