This book builds on the analyses of Eugene and Howard Odum and
introduces the concept of systems ecology. Ecological emergy
accounting represents a breakthrough because it allows researchers
to integrate man-made capital and natural capital so that human and
natural concerns can be addressed using a consistent system of
units. This book develops an emergy accounting model that is
suitable for describing urban systems, thereby providing a
comprehensive picture of those systems. To make the theory
concrete, the authors use China's Macao Special Administrative
Region as a case study, and compare the results for Macao with
those of other urban ecosystems around the world in the fields of
ecological economy, tourism, waste treatment, gambling industry,
land reclamation and resource consumption etc.
