%X Water, land, mineral, energy and other resources are the bases of human survival and development, and are important material foundation of sustainable socioeconomic development. In China, the total resource quantity is large, but resource quantity per capita is small. China's per capita fresh water resource is only one fourth of the world average, China's per capita arable land is less than half of the world average and the per capita mineral resource only reaches half of the world average. Furthermore, the efficiency of resource utilization is very low in China. Statistics show that China's total primary energy consumption in 2003 was 9.2% of the world, but China's GDP was less than 4% of the world. Energy consumption per unit GDP was two times more than the world average. Severe resource shortage requires China to build a resource-efficient society as soon as possible.An evaluation of resource-efficient society is an important tool to control econmic development level and boost resource use efficiency. Currently, studies relating to resource-efficient society mainly focused on concepts, experiences, and awareness. Fewer studies have paid to its application. Internationally, these researches mainly focus on resource-saving approach, engineering technology, resource-saving policies and legal system, fewer on the evaluation of resource-efficient society. In this paper, an indicator system for evaluating resource-efficient society is introduced firstly, which is also called "543" indicator system. The method for single indicator quantification and multiple indicators integration was put forward to evaluate the degree of resource-efficient society, which is called SI-MI method. SI-MI method was used to estimate the degree of resource-efficient society at provincial level, and make a rank of the degree. According to the evaluation results, 30 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in China were divided into three groups, which are: 1) regions with relatively higher resource-efficiency, such as Shandong, Tianjin, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Beijing, Zhejiang, Liaoning, Henan, Heilongjiang, Hubei, Hebei and Fujian; 2) regions with lower resource-efficiency, such as Jilin, Anhui, Guangdong, Shanxi, Jiangxi, Hainan, Yunnan, Hunan, Sichuan, Shanxi, Gansu, ningxia, Inner Mongolia and Guangxi; 3) regions with very low resource-efficiency, such as Chongqing, Guizhou, Qinghai, and Xinjiang.
