Abstract: This paper uses references and chronological series to review the research history of resources environmental carrying capacity, and summarizes its theoretical methods, covering its connotation, research scale and contents, establishing methods of evaluation index system, quantitative methods of indicators, evaluation methods of comprehensive carrying capacity and research trend. This paper analyzes the limits and evolutional trend of existing evaluation of resources environmental carrying capacity, and presents the research direction shall shift from resource evaluation and environmental protection to land spatial planning and sustainable development of eco-environment, which can be a constraint and reference for ecological civilization construction and development. Research on resources environmental carrying capacity is constrained by resource environment, orientated by spatial optimization. A scientific evaluation index system and appropriate evaluation method are key to evaluating resource environmental carrying capacity.

Key words: resource environmental carrying capacity, references survey, chronological series

摘要： 通过文献调查法和时间序列法，回顾资源环境承载力的发展历程，归纳总结出资源环境承载力系统的理论方法体系，包括：资源环境承载力内涵发展、资源环境承载力的研究尺度与研究内容、评价指标体系的构建方法、资源环境承载力指标因子的量化方法、综合承载力的评价方法、资源环境承载力的研究趋势，分析得到现有的资源环境承载力评价的局限性和演进趋势，提出资源环境承载力研究方向从基础的资源评价和环境保护向国土空间规划和生态环境可持续发展等方向转变，并成为生态文明建设和发展的制约要素和参考依据。资源环境承载力正在向以资源环境为约束、以空间优化为导向的方向发展，建立科学的评价指标体系和运用合理的评价方法，对资源环境承载力的评价至关重要。
