Abstract

The problems caused by the unbalanced and fragmented development has become more and more obvious. In order to help these government and organizations to make a better decision to give support to the country’s most in need, we need to develop a model to assess the sustainability of a country. On the basis of the Ecology Health Index (EHI) Model, the Sustainability Index (SI) Model is established to describe and assess the sustainability of a country. To modify SI Model into a quantized model. There are three main steps: Selection, Standardization and Weight Determination of the Indicators. We use the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method to determine the weighting factors of each indicator.
