Abstract: The evaluation of resources and environment carrying capacity is the basis of spatial planning and a key part of spatial governance. The existing research on capacity calculation focuses on large spatial units such as provinces, cities and counties, and the evaluation of carrying capacity at small-scale is relatively scarce, which cannot meet the needs of environmental management of villages and townships. In this study, Caiyu Township in Daxing District of Beijing is taken as a case to evaluate the carrying capacity of villages and townships. A comprehensive index system of carrying capacity based on DPSIR model is established to analyze the resources and environment conditions in Caiyu Township. The grading results of carrying capacity evaluation of each village of Caiyu Township and the evaluation of space planning scheme based on the enhancement of carrying capacity are presented, and the results show that there are great differences in resources and environment status among villages in Caiyu Township due to the variety of population density and land use intensity related to the land use structure and economic development mode of the villages. This paper concludes with the future research of carrying capacity evaluation at small-scale, which can provide reference for other regions.

Key words: resources and environment carrying capacity, spatial planning, DPSIR model, Beijing
