By investigation and study on present rural residence status in a typical Hot Summer and Cold Winter zone Zhejiang Province, this paper points out issues like high energy consumption, high cost, low life-span, low quality, etc. proposes the design strategy for green rural housing in New Countryside Construction. The author makes analysis from different aspects including the continuity of ecological...
British architect Richard Rogers as one of the founders in the "High Technology Group", its bold and striking design has been widely praised. Now, Rogers has been the main energy transfer from a simple architectural design to urban planning in the past, and became a city planning, sustainable development and an advocate of green building technologies. In this paper, Richard Rogers and representative...
With the increasing destruction of the ecological environment, the strategic position and role of ecological green space is ever more conspicuous in the sustainable development. In this paper, a three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation was carried out to analyze the oxygen dispersion in horizontal and vertical space under urban wind speed field conditions in city central of...
Contemporary urban living environment design and construction process are facing lots of ecological issues. It needs us to find a new perspective and efficient design approach which can become the bridge or link between special form and optimized function structure, natural and human resources protection, traffic and physical environment improvement, land-use saving and energy sustainability, landscape...
With the rapid development of urbanization, the problems of eco-environment and resources have drawn wide attention. The interaction between urbanization and eco-environment is the direct driving force to promote the urban sustainable development. Based on the coordinated development between urbanization and ecological environment, this paper constructs a set of indicator system to measure the development...
Coastal cities are developing rapidly in recent years, but serious broken eco-environment, irrational marine industrial structure; unsound regulations hinder marine economic development. Therefore, this paper studies the EBM (Ecosystem-based Management) and suggests improving the environment, management and marine industrial structure. These suggestions have important significance all-round coordinated...
Oasis cities are the special regions in arid zones, which have the densest human activities and the most sensitive relationship between human and natural environment. Rapid urbanization of oasis cities of Xinjiang, China has impacted on the stability and economic sustainable development of the region during the past decade. Therefore, monitoring urban spatial growth and land cover change brought on...
As we known, urbanization plays a decisive role in the sustainable development in the alpine pasturing area, however, as ecological environment is in fragility in the alpine pasturing area located in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, what kind of urbanization pattern we choose is quite an essential choice. This paper takes Gannan pasturing area for example in which we advance the idea that urbanization in Gannan...
In order to achieve a coordinated development of urban, resources and environment, this paper discusses urban planning from a new angle of view: a different planning method is proposed based on the carrying capacity of ecological environment and local resources, and the project of Hezhou city is cited as a case. In this method, research about environment carrying capacity is firstly put forward, urban...
The current condition of rural energy consumption in Zhejiang Province was investigated. According to the actual situation of new countryside construction, countermeasures were put forward on how to develop rural energy including enhancing the rural energy planning, popularizing suitable technology mode, increasing input, and accelerating technology supporting capacity through an analysis on the potency...
Along with the acceleration of urbanization, as well as the patter and function of urban complication increasingly, therefore, we need to consider the satisfactory for the general requirement of users for built environment from the integrated notion of “built environment to human”, instead of only considering the protection of return of investment and ecological meanings. The urban built environment...
Landscape pattern has been one of the key study areas in landscape ecology. Many cities problems have been caused by disorderly and unreasonable landscape pattern, so orderly and good urban landscape pattern play an important role in city sustainable development, but at present urban landscape pattern in many cities has been destroyed, hence studying the rule of urban landscape pattern dynamics and...
Promoting construction of villages and small towns (VST) is an important action for the coordinative development of urban and rural areas in entirety under scientific promotion for ecological civilization. It's necessary to study construction management system for villages and small towns (CMSVST). Firstly, the CMSVST is made up in this paper and it analyzes four main points of dissipative structure...
An emergy-based analysis was conducted to investigate evolvement of the ecological competitive capacity of Beijing with regard to urban evolution and city development from 1990 to 2005. A newly integrated indicator, ecological competitive capacity index (ECCI) was established by combing conventional emergy indices of percentage of local renewable resource, emergy self-sufficient ratio, emergy/money...
This work addressed the integrated project management of water resources in a costal city, Haihou City in China. Based on investigation of renewable water resources distribution, an underground water storage project was carried out for water safety utility and seawater intrusion prevention in the new planned city area. Methods for surface water reuse and seawater intrusion prevention were integrated...
Integration and adaptation of artificial intelligent designs with fuzzy inference techniques is an active area of research that can be used to meet the challenges of regeneration processes. Urban regeneration activities in built environment are complex and require a close collaboration between designers and planners in order to achieve a design plan that is environmentally robust and sustainable....
Urban planning is human purposeful, conscious social activity. It is influenced by nature and human society. Research of urban planning and urban space expansion is in the forefront of global urban research, and is one of the hot topics. China is troubled by population growth, lack of resources, ecological and environmental degradation, and rational urban development is closely related to sustainable...
On the basis of ecosystem adaptive management theory, this paper attempts to put forward the fundamental concept and theoretical framework of urban adaptive management (UAM), to expound the crucial essentials of UAM, and to establish the management mode and framework of UAM. Then, take Lanzhou, Gansu province of China as a study area, based on the urban metabolism theory, analysis the material metabolism...
This paper compares between different dimensions of ecological footprint, and makes a dynamic analysis of ecological footprint and ecological capacity respectively in Dengzhou City by using ecological footprint model, according to official statistics between 2001 and 2005. This research is helpful to the analysis and appraisal of ecology-economy development status in county region, and it can distinguish...
Ecosystem health is the prerequisite for ecosystem service function. To assure socio-economic sustainable development, how to effectively evaluate the trends of urban ecosystem health is a key issue for ecological planning. The paper established an evaluation model of urban ecosystem health based on the approaches of entropy weight and fuzzy logic mathematics, which avoided the uncertainty in estimating...
