Abstract
Ecological bearing capacity is one of the research methods which can be used to study the sustainability of a city’s economy and society. Bearing exponents, as a research method on ecological bearing capacity, have the advantage of conciseness and comparability. The bearing exponents of Tangshan between 2006 and 2010 are calculated based on Tangshan’s resource and environment data. The results indicate that Tangshan’s overall bearing capacity has been improved in recent years with abundant water and land resources. Still, transportation and environment call for greater improvement.
