An appropriate and effective policy is critical for achieving regional sustainable development. Namely, a reasonable policy will not only improveeconomic development, but also reduce environmental problems. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate and analysis the policy choices comprehensively beforehand in order to find out the suitable optimal policies for local development, and to avoid the unreasonable policy implementation.

In our study, we based on the integrated consideration of the interaction between environmental and socio-economic activities, and focused on constructing a comprehensive policy evaluation model to reflect the social-economic and environment development according to certain principles and assumptions in our society. Computer simulation is used to establish the model in order to evaluate comprehensive environmental policies and identify the most cost effective measures in order to improve the trade-off between environment improvement and social-economic development, and finally achieve sustainable development. LINGO programming language is adopted to establish the simulation model to predict the dynamic development of the research area.

Our research can be utilized on several aspects:Firstly, water environmental issues, mainly about water resource effective utilization and conservation; water pollution control and improvement; and water purification technologies’ evaluation; Secondly, air issues, such as greenhouse gases emission control, and air pollution reduction; Last but not least, energy problems, mainly on energy structure adjustments, new energy promotion, energy consumption forecast.

The innovative point of our study is utilizing an environmental engineering approach to analyze economic and environmental problems. The economic development of each industry was based on an input-output analysis, and the model was based on material balance, value balance and energy balance.
