DPSIR Model-based Assessment of ecologically sustainable development in Shandong Peninsula Blue Economic Zone
Shandong Peninsula is the largest peninsulas in China and its geographical position plays a vital role in its ecological health. In this paper, we used the Driving-Pressure-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR) model, combined with social economic and natural ecological parameters, to establish an ecologically sustainable development evaluation index system. The results show there to be increasing social and economic pressures on the Shandong Peninsula, and the comprehensive state evaluation value for its ecological system is 0.5313. The water, sediment and biological quality values are 0.22, 0.19, and 0.123, respectively. Current conditions are not encouraging. The impact indicator and response indicator values are 2.5 and 4.7, respectively, which indicates that marine disasters have great influence on the Peninsula and can cause serious damage, although the government's response to changes in the ecological environment is typically quick and efficient.
