Scientific measurement of urbanization level is of significance to industrialization, urbanization and harmonious development of economy and society. This paper uses 16 indicators to establish a synthetic measurement index system to evaluate Yulins urbanization level. It applies entropy to measure the synthetic development level of Yulins urbanization, and the development level of its subsystems of population, economy, society and space from 1990-2009. The results show a rising urbanization level, with variance in contribution of its subsystems. Economy subsystem has the highest score and increment, followed by space subsystem. The development of society and population subsystems is slow. The improvement of society subsystem is the key to Yulins urbanization and the slow development of population subsystem will influence the development of economy subsystem in the future.

This paper uses grey correlation and GM(1,1) model to analyze the correlation between economy and industrial “three wastes” emissions from 1999-2010 〖JP2〗in Chinas 31 provinces, and to forecast the emissions from 2011-〖JP〗2015. The results show that economic development has a great impact on environmental pollution in 30 provinces, except for Beijing, and it leads to the increase in industrial gas waste emissions in 29 provinces. Gas waste emissions are forecasted to rise in 28 provinces from 2011-2015, and so are COD in water waste and solid waste emissions in five provinces. “Three wastes” emissions are forecasted to decease in only three provinces. Therefore, it is urgent to transform economic growth pattern. And it is suggested that we should develop clean energy, promote circular economy and establish a strict environmental supervision mechanism.

Based on the analysis of conventional ecological footprint theory, this paper revises its production factor and balance factor to get an improved model. Then it uses the conventional and modified models to calculate Lanzhous farmland ecological footprint from 2000-2008, and analyzes its dynamic changes. Results from the traditional model show increasing ecological footprint, decreasing ecological carrying capacity, and a weak sustainable state with ecological surplus, but results from the improved model are just the opposite. After analysis it turns out that the modified model is more practical and conducive to the study on sustainable use of farmland in Lanzhou. This paper uses the improved model to forecast farmland ecological footprint, ecological carrying capacity and sustainable index in Lanzhou, and gives ways of raising the average ecological productivity of farmland.
