Abstract

<> has been an important strategic study on harmonious development in China.This paper discussed the population supporting capacity of land in relation to the quantity and quality of land resources, ecosystem and technological economics. Undoubted, It is the nucleus in the study.1. The quantity and quality of land resources is the foundation and essential reliance to study the population supporting capacity of land. But should also pay special attent to the capacity and exploitable condition of preparing arable land resources.2. The land ecosytem is the basic arena of human activity. Its balance should be regulated and controled with artificial method to maintain continuous increase in productive forces. The regulation of ecosytem includes mainly the macrostructure effect on rational exploitation and utilization of land; the balance of input and output in land ecosystem; and the relationship between ecologic and economics efficiency.3. The development of agro-technical economics inevitably has an effect on the quality and range of land utilization and also the population supporting capacity. It must be fully consider the economic efficiency of different use way of land and the technical systems of regional agro-modernization effect on raising productive forces of land.In view of the balance among the population increase, resources capacity and productive development, it is suggested that the population supporting capacity must rationly coordinate with the speed of social development in a certain period.
