摘要: Macao is a tourist city with dense population, but short on natural resources. During the past 20 years, Macao’s rapid socioeconomic development has depended heavily tourism industry. In this chapter, we employed ecological emergy accounting to characterize urban evolution and that occurred in from 1983 2004.
