Ecological Footprint Comparison in Various Countries
Today, dependency of human on ecosystem products and services is increasing. The concept of ecological footprint determines humanitys appropriation of ecosystems at the regional scales. The aim of this paper is to compare one persons ecological footprint in various countries by assuming equal consumption and wastage of resources. This paper compares ecological footprint in 13 countries in order to find logical relationship among ecological footprint, area size, and population. The Ecological footprint of selected countries has been calculated by aid of an appropriate formula and also an online questionnaire. Then statistical package for social science (SPSS) was used to investigate the association among these variables. Finally, the results indicate that there is no significant linear relationship between ecological footprint and the area size of studied countries. This study also resulted that the population does not influence on ecological footprint.
