Crude hydrocarbon spill and exploration activities destroy biodiversity of study locations ecosystem and inhibitory to plant growth in polluted soils (Ultisols) in selected communities (Zaakpon, Kpean, Yorla and Gure) at 0-30 cm depths in Ogoniland, Niger Delta, Nigeria and study conducted June-August, 2004.The aesthetic, agro-ecology and environmental biodiversity quality of selected communities impaired by the multinational oil companies. Data analyses variance, mean by Duncan multiple range test (SAS, 1985) over locations, depths, macronutrients and micronutrients of the selected communities at least significant difference P<0.1 for the polluted and unpolluted soils. The impacted soils localized between 0-15 cm depths with low organic matter contents (< 1% Org. carbon) and high C/N ratios at Gure (11.58), Zaakpon (52.95) and Kpean (25.49) results to low microbial activity and poor vegetative landscape except at Yorla with C/N 8.66 that support biodiversity ecological services. Forest ecosystems react sensitively to the soils 2.8 highly acidic with pH value and that will requires soil amendments for soil nutrients enhancement for biodegradation and restoration ecology. The impacted soils fertility analyses of crops tolerant to nutritional imbalance of the study area are: maize, banana, cassava, mango, pineapple, sweet potato and tomatoes base on their critical nutrient concentrations of the crops yield.

Tourism has become a pillar industry in developing provincial economies with the growth of the social economy and people’s demand. However, ecological protection and supporting infrastructure are prerequisites accompanied by the rapid development of tourism. To measure the tourism potential, we intend to analyze the sustainable development of tourism and get the related countermeasure for policy-making assistance. The sustainable development of tourism potential in Shanghai is measured by the MFA evaluation model based on the construction of 3 core systems in sustainable development. According to the evaluation results, we analyzed the reason for the score’s decline of the sustainable development ability of provincial tourism of Shanghai is from a shortage of industrial positioning, insufficiency, insufficient fusion, and obliterated cooperation in this industry. Countermeasures for provincial tourism development from perspectives of economy, culture, society and political technology could be given as economic mutual promotion and reflection, adjustment of tourism industrial development pattern, improvements in the policy guidance and regulation of tourism investment. Keywords: MFA, tourism industry, sustainable development.
