Abstract:

In order to test the governance effectiveness of ecological management district of karst areas，taking Yachi demonstration area in Bijie City，Longping demonstration area in Zunyi City，Qitan demonstration area in Yanhe County，Guizhou Province as examples，45 factors were chosen to build evaluation index system from five aspects including resources carrying capacity，environmental sustaining power，population development sustainability，economic development ability and social development ability，and using “vertical and horizontal” method，the development sustain abilities of the three demonstration areas in 2005 and 2007 were evaluated.The results showed that：From contrasting space，the development sustainability of Longping demonstration area was the best of all，followed by Yachi demonstration area，but Qitan demonstrationarea was the worst；From contrasting time，while the development sustainability of Yachi demonstration area was showed slightly backward，the Longping demonstration area and Qitan demonstration area were improved in 2007 than in 2005.Aim at the humanland conflicts of the three ecological management districts，the article presented some contermesures to enhance its development sustainability，such as populationcontrol，optimal allocation of land and water resources，enlarge the forestry and animal husbandry proportion and so on，and provided the model on sustainable development for the similar karst area.
