| Abstract: | Kochi, the commercial capital of Kerala and the
second most important city next to Mumbai on the Western
coast of India, is a land having a wide variety of residential
environments. The present pattern of the city can be classified
as that of haphazard growth with typical problems
characteristics of unplanned urban development. This trend
can be ascribed to rapid population growth, our changing
lifestyles, food habits, and change in living standards,
institutional weaknesses, improper choice of technology and
public apathy. Ecological footprint analysis (EFA) is a
quantitative tool that represents the ecological load imposed
on the earth by humans in spatial terms. This paper analyses
the scope of EFA as a sustainable environmental management
tool for Kochi City |
