Abstract

Deriving from the Pressure-State-Response (PSR) theory, a framework of sustainable development (SD) indicators describing urban fringe's urbanization process was brought forward. Sustainable Development Index (ISD) series for multi-years were used to measure the regional capability of sustainability. The socio-economic-environmental grand system was considered as a grey system and artificial neural network (ANN) was applied to calculate the ISD series. Then a case study of Huiji District, Zhengzhou City was adopted for ISD assessment from the year 1987 to 2004, and uncertainty analysis was also construed. The results showed that both the framework and the ISD with ANN were suitable in reflecting its SD levels. The method is recommendable for analogous problems.
