Abstract: Scientific evaluation of the resource and environment carrying capacity for rural and township development is the basis and premise for rationally allocating the three functional spaces of "production-living-ecology", and promoting the rural and township coordinated development with resource and environmental protection. However, in terms of research on the assessment of resource and environment carrying capacity of rural and township development, due to the lack of systematic and logical self-consistent analysis framework and indicator system, the assessment and monitoring of resource and environment carrying capacity of rural and township development with regional differences, historical variability and system complexity are limited. In the process of implementing the strategy of rural revitalization and the land space planning, it is urgent to build an evaluation index system of resource and environment carrying capacity for the needs of rural and township development. Therefore, on the basis of summarizing the research results of rural and township development and resource and environment carrying capacity, the key concepts and the coordination relationship between rural and township development and resource and environment carrying capacity are explained, and the technical framework for evaluating resource and environment carrying capacity of rural and township development has been constructed. In addition, under the guidance of the principles of indicator system construction and indicator screening methods, a scientific, systematic and standardized indicator system was established for the background evaluation of resource and environment carrying capacity for rural and township development at macro scale, and for the calculation and coordination evaluation of the carrying capacity of resource and environment for rural and township development with different dominant function types at micro scale. The key indicator algorithms and the basis for the selection of main parameters are proposed. The research results are expected to provide theoretical and methodological basis for the assessment and management of regional resource and environment carrying capacity for rural and township development in China, and to provide scientific basis and technical support for promoting the coordinated rural and township development and resource and environment carrying capacity development in terms of territorial space division and classification.

Key words: rural and township development, resource and environment carrying capacity, technical framework, indicator system, calculation method
