Abstract: The paper studied the moderate ecological carrying capacity of economic and population development in Liaocheng City in order to maintain the sustainable development and ecological security. The ecological footprint and ecological carrying capacity from 2006 to 2011 were calculated by models, the differences between the ecological optimum population (EOP) and the actual conditions were analyzed. The results showed that: the actual population of Liaocheng City was in an increase trend from 2006 to 2011, but EOP was declining. Liaocheng faced the problems of being over- populated and ecological deficit, with a relatively large contradiction between man and land. The paper reflected the unreasonable relationship of ecology, population and economy in this region, and put forward the optional ways for sustainable development of Liaocheng City.
