In recent years, with the further urbanization of China, more efforts have been devoted in economic construction, but protection of local ecological pattern and inheritance of historic context have been overlooked. Taking landscape design of Jinxi River in Hushan Town for example, local resources were analyzed on the basis of regional characteristics to explore the future development trend. Colorful traditional cultures of south Fujian should be introduced into the design of waterfront landscapes, so historic and cultural elements of south Fujian will be inherited and demonstrated in new means by combining with modern landscape design techniques.展开更多

Thus, this paper analyzed some actual cases in Guangxi which are successful in designing the overall image of small towns, including Cendou Xincun, Xing'an County and Yangshuo Dongling, found that all constructions show rich elements of traditional houses, characteristics of local houses and distinctive cultures of folk houses, and concluded that tradition was the source to construct the features of small towns, innovation was the basis to develop small towns and culture was the core to sublimate the features of small towns. It was considered that traditional architectures could only be integrated with modern architectures by fully excavating cultural characteristics of regional architectures, combining with regional tourism industry and motivating local people to participate in reconstruction, to enhance local styles and national features, and create a beautiful, comfortable and harmonious living environment, so the overall regional styles and features of small towns can be represented and proceeded, comprehensive competitiveness and strong vitality can be given to those towns.展开更多

Currently, construction of another new town is under deliberation, and what should be a major consider is the notion that the new town be located within a wide, green zone. Many studies have revealed that green space can play an important role in improving urban eco-meteorological capability and air quality. In order to analyze the urban heat island which will be created by the new urban development, and to investigate the local thermal environment and its negative effects caused by a change of land use type and urbanization, Landsat TM images were used for extraction of urban surface temperature according to changes of land use over the last 15 years. These data are analyzed together with digital land use and topographic information. As a study result, it was found the urban heat island of the study area from 1985 to 1999 rapidly developed which showed a difference of mean temperature above +2 0 Before the Bundang new town construction the temperature of the residential area was the same as a forest, but during the new town construction in 1991 analysis revealed the creation of an urban heat island. The temperature of a forest whose size is over 50% of the investigation area was lowest, and thus the presence of a forest is believed to have a direct cooling effect on the urban environment and its surroundings. The mean temperature of the residential and commercial areas in the study was found to be +4 5 higher than the forest, and therefore this part of land use is believed to be the main factor causing the temperature increase of the urban heat island.展开更多

The evaluation index system of livability perception of residents in rural regions was constructed. Based on the questionnaire survey and in-depth interview of Doumen Town of Zhuhai City, this paper revealed the livability characteristics of rural residents and its influencing factors. The research showed that:① Residents of rural regions were quite satisfied with natural environment and built environment, but less satisfied with public service and infrastructure, and showed the social differentiation in livability perception;② The livability perception evaluation of rural residents was significantly affected by livable factors, showing the decreasing characteristics of “public service factors>social and humanistic environment factors>infrastructure factors>built environment factors>natural environment factors”;③ Individual and family attributes of rural residents were also important factors affecting their livability perception, but less important than the livable factors.展开更多
