Ecological Security Assessment and Spatial-Temporal Evolution of Shanxi Province

The paper evaluates the ecological security comprehensive index, ecological pressure index, ecological state
index and ecological response index of the research areas from 2005 to 2015, based on 11 prefecture-level city of Shanxi
Province, based on PSR model, integrated entropy method and grey correlation model. It also analyses its spatialtemporal
evolution regularity. The results showed the follows, the overall trend of ecological comprehensive index is
rising, the safety level improved from level 2 and 3 to level 4 and 5, the improvement of regional ecological environment
has a big improvement but its improvement has slowed down. The pressure of the ecological environment caused by
human beings is small and it decreased. There are big improvements of the ecological environment, effective measures
have been taken to eliminate the influence of human activities to on the ecological environment. There are big
improvements in eco-environment management. The differences between the south and north of the ecological security is
obvious and they will become bigger, the ecological security of the south and the middle area takes advantages of the
north, the space distribution of ecological pressure had a trend that varies from the east and west to the middle areas and
the surrounding areas. The ecology environment state had a trend varies from north and south distinction to the middle,
the north and south, as for the efficiency of the elimination of human beings to the ecological environment , the results of
the south and the middle area is better than the north. The safety condition of the ecological environment is the direct
performance of the human being’s response to the ecological environment, it is also the internal mechanism of the
research areas’evolution of ecological environment.
