In 1990, the villagers from the Muzhe Village in Benggu Township, Xichou County, Yunnan declared a war against rocky desert in an attempt to ask the fields for more yields. They invented a distinctive land rehabilitation and sustainable use pattern called “transforming heavenand earth” that had been practiced in Southwest China’s karst areas. The key mechanism of the pattern was to develop terraced fields with well conserved soil, water and fertility by exploding rocks in the fields, building stone walls, gathering more soil, and improving soil quality and productivity for the fields in combination with building of irrigation facilities and roads, as well as with forestation and agriculture structure adjustment. The purpose of the pattern was to alleviate poverty in the karst areas by improving soil productivity and promoting agriculturaldevelopment. A typical area was studied with the help of Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) and the pattern was carried out there for fifteen years, have produced excellent ecological benefits and good economic benefits. Its application in the area approved that it was a sustainable land use pattern for rocky desert areas.展开更多

In order to effectively enhance the beauty of the city's human landscape, authors of this paper, based on the public art dimension of metro, explore the artistic expression, problems, and countermeasures related to the enhancement of the beauty of human landscape, and solutions to the common failing of metropolises in the evolution of urban civilization, so as to optimize and spread the urban culture. It is hoped that this paper can cover the shortage of relevant domestic and international studies and provide a theoretical reference for the majority of man-made landscape researchers.展开更多
