The overall development of what is related to a certain region. It’s very essential to know the spatial distribution features of development potential (DP) and resource environment carrying capacity (REC) in various areas of a nation. To achieve sustainable development, it is essential to maintain the rational distribution of resources on the temporal and spatial scale, and to satisfy the needs of people nowadays without undermining those of the next generations. This is an important measure of putting the scientific development concept into practice, and it is also an important base for constructing a harmonious society. The goal of this study is to explore the spatial relationship between regional development potential and the carrying capacity of resource and environment. Data from 2000 and 2006 are applied to the meta-synthesis of spatial statistical analysis and geography information system (GIS). According to the principles of proportionality, completeness and consistency, two regional complex systems of DP and REC are constructed, and the weight of what is calculated by using entropy method. The results show that: 1) the overall spatial distribution patterns of DP and REC present a declining trend from coastal through inland area towards the provinces in west China. Obviously, the regional economic development level is the primary factor of development potential. 2)Moran's I and G statistics of development potential and carrying capacity of resource and environment are calculated. It can be seen that the differences in spatial distribution of both aspects are similar among different provinces. To specify, provinces or regions with high level of development potential are mainly located in east China, while places with low level of development potential are mainly in the western part China. The carrying capacity in central, eastern and southern parts of China has been improved and tends to centralize, while places with low level of carrying capacity are mainly in northwest China. 3) The regional development potential and carrying capacity are divided into five categories according to the results of k-means clustering analysis and spatial clustering. The dividing results demonstrate that spatial association measure of development potential and carrying capacity of various regions is positive correlation (R=0.393); in other words, it is not very significantly. Besides carrying capacity, the international economic and information, scientific and technological development, innovation and institutions are also important factors of regional development potential. Compared with the regions with higher level of development potential, the regions with lower level are much more restricted by the carrying capacity of resource and environment.
