 This paper, based on case study on Ordos city, uses references and GIS to study its natural, social and economic indexes, and applies PSR model to select 24 indexes to establish an index system in assessing ecological risks in study area, which is used to assess the ecological risks in 20052015 by means of fuzzy comprehensive evaluation. BP neutral network is employed to set up a prediction model used to predict Ordoss ecological risks in next five years. During 20052015, Ordos had undergone a higher risk level in 20052008, a general risk level in 20092011 and a low level in 20122015. Risk levels vary over time, generally showing a good trend. In the future, Ordos's ecological risk level is estimated to decrease in the future, at a low level, down to 5.894 5 in 2017 a general level, and to 6.026 6 in 2020, indicating a low level. Pressure factors to ecological risks mainly include environmental pressure, such as industrial pollution emission, conditional factors are economic and environmental conditions, including the weight of the third industry in GDP and waterfall. Response factors are human response, like college student number per 10 thousand people, and medical bed rate per 10 thousand people. To avoid worsening ecological risks, this paper presents suggestions on controlling population, industrial pollution emission, degradation of grass land and desertification, adding input in health and education.
