Abstract: It is key to establish a reasonable comprehensive evaluation index system to evaluate geopark resources carrying capacity. This paper uses the earth system theory to define the connotation of geopark resources carrying capacity, applies the framework of VERP to select the indexes, and establishes the hierarchical index system. The tier one indexes include the earth, the natural environment and the social environment sub-systems. The tier two indexes include 12 indexes such as water, lithosphere, atmosphere, and ecosphere. The tier three indexes include 31 indexes such as water area, usable water resources, annual rainfall, oxygen content, scarcity and typicality of geological remains. This evaluation index system is of great significance for protecting geological remains and eco-environment and developing resources.
