The Carrying Capacity of Land Resources in the Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei Region Based on Scientific Urbanization Development

Land resources have become one of the "bottlenecks" of further promotion of urbanization in the Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei region. This paper analyzed the status of land resource development and exploitation in these regions, on whose basis an evaluation index system was established from the perspective of scientific urbanization development. By building up a land resource carrying capacity (LRCC) index model, we assessed the LRCC of Beijing municipality, Tianjin municipality, and all 11 prefecture-level cities in Hebei province. The evaluation results reflect noticeable region-varying LRCC differences. Therefore, regional resource characteristics should be based on in formulating scientific and reasonable land development and land use schemes as well as social-economic development strategies.
