Under the background of "pursue coordinated land and marine development, and step up efforts to build China into a strong maritime country", the exploitation and utilization of China's islands are turning to green, ecological and sustainable development. Marine Ecological Civilization Comprehensive Experimental Area of Changdao has become the forefront of China's marine ecological civilization construction and high-quality island development. Therefore, this paper applied the DPSIR model to build an evaluation index system for sustainable development of Changdao area from five aspects: driving forces, pressures, states, impacts, and responses, and the index weight was determined by the method of combining entropy weight method and analytic hierarchy process. Then, this paper collected relevant data on Changdao area from 2011 to 2020 and evaluated its sustainable development level, the analysis and evaluation results showed that this level had been slowly fluctuating and rising during the decade. The conclusions of this paper would provide a reference for the formulation of relevant policies in Marine Ecological Civilization Comprehensive Experimental Area of Changdao.
