资源节约型社会是指以满足人们的生活质量为前提,将节约理念贯穿于各个领域,以最少的资源消耗获取最大的经济效益和社会效益,实现可持续发展。根据资源节约型社会的内涵和特征,遵循指标体系构建原则,结合我国实际,建立了资源节约型社会综合评价指标体系,该指标体系包括4个层次和39个指标。利用熵值法确定评价指标权重,最后通过2个节约指数来综合反映区域构建资源节约型社会的状况。根据以上指标体系,对全国1990—2004年的资源节约状况进行了综合评价,结果显示我国总体上处于弱节约状态,且评价期内各子系统先后经历了基本协调发展、较协调发展、高度协调发展状态,我国距离资源节约型社会仍有很大距离。

Saving society(SS) is based on the premise of satisfying human's needs.Conse-quently,the saving idea could be linked to every field in our society in which fewer resources are used to produce more economical benefits and societal benefits,whilist realizing sustainable development.Apparently,there are some characters here about SS,for example,saving resources being the basic national policy;recycling economy becoming economically developmental model;a harmonious and steady society being built;science advancement and technology innovation being closely depened;and more friendly environment being realized. As a complex system,SS is composed of five sub-systems in resources,economy,society,technology and environment,which will be interacted and interdependent.Therefore the process for establishing a SS is to realize a highly harmonious system by which it can finally realize the reasonable use of resources,economic development,social advancement,technological progress and environmental conservation. Comprehensive appraisal for SS of China is carried out in this article based on the characters of SS and state situation of China.It can quantatively estimate the level of establishing SS and the developmental trend in each sub-system or compare them with each other.According to the design principles of indicator system,some principles,such as scientific,operable,entire,comparable,dynamic,are adopted and the comprehensive indicators and appraisal system of SS is given in the article,which is made up of four layers,five subsystems and 39 indicators.Then we set up two indicators here to evaluate the area,one is saving indiccator of developing:V=ωiXi,the other is saving indicator of coordinating:U=1-/.The method of entropy-value is used to help decide the weights of all indicators.According to the score of the appraisal indicators,the situation of SS can be divided into 25 situations,namely S1,S2,S3,...,S24,S25.On the basis of the indicators system,we put forward demonstration analysis on the data of 1990-2004 and concluded that during these years China was mainly in the stage of S16,S17 or S18,meanwhile in the future there will be a long way to go for China to realize its saving society.
