The IGT model was applied to establish the relationship between the economic development and the loads of the environment including atmosphere
water
and energy consumption for the Yulin region. The analysis was performed on the development of the resources and the environmental loads in the Yulin region by the IGT model
and the atmosphere
water
and energy consumption in the period 2011-2020 were predicted for four cases. The results show that
during the 11th five-year period
the environmental load of atmosphere was relatively small while those of water and energy consumption were significant. When the average increase rate of GDP is 0.2 per year
the environmental loads will increase with the increase in GDP if there is no measure to reduce the environmental loads per unit GDP( i.e.
t=0). If t=0.2
the development of both the environmental protection and the economic growth will be sustainable. These results suggest that the increase rate of GDP should be below 0.2 and t is 0.1-0.15 for the Yulin region in order to balance environment against economy.
