Abstract

As Xi'an enters the new first-tier cities, the urbanization process is accelerating, urban development is uncoordinated, resource reserves cannot keep up with the speed of economic development, and environmental pollution is serious. Based on this, it is particularly important to strengthen the study of urban carrying capacity in Xi'an and seek to solve the path dependence of environmental problems and development problems. Using fuzzy evaluation method, the author studies the population carrying capacity, resource carrying capacity, environmental carrying capacity, economic carrying capacity, social carrying capacity and cultural carrying capacity, and comprehensively measures the comprehensive urban carrying capacity and its changes in Xi'an from 2009 to 2016. The trend is of guiding significance for Xi'an City to seize the development opportunity of “One Belt, One Road” and deal with the development bottleneck.
