【 摘 要 】

Despite the fundamental role of human-induced forces in global environmenthavingchanged,knowledgeaboutthespecificfactorsthatcausetheseimpactsislimitedanduncertaintiesremain.Inthisrespect,theecologicalfootprintemergesasaconcept used to emphasize both the apparent unsustainability of current practices and the inequalities in resource consumption among countries. The ecological footprint provides a method formeasuringhowmuchlandcansupporttheconsumptionof natural resources and provides a precise measure of human impact on the world. In recent years, sustainable development andbiologicalcapacitydebatehasmainlyrevolvedaroundfactorsaffectingtheecologicalfootprintandapproachestoimprovingenvironmentalquality.Therefore,itisimportanttodetermine which factors affect the global ecological footprint. For this aim, a cross-section analysis was carried out with the quantile regression approach applied within the framework of the STIRPAT model structure for 154 countries that were allocated according to their income levels in 2016, taking into account current data.According to the quantile regression findings, the coefficients of the welfare and financial development index are positive and statistically significant. It has been concluded that thepopulationdecreasestheamountofecologicalfootprintperperson,thus,increasingthetotalecologicalfootprint.Inaddition, it has been determined that the density of the service sector negatively affects the ecological footprint.
