Conservation-minded Urban Green Space System Planning in the Urban-rural Integration

Environmental and ecological problems in the urban-rural integration were analyzed, characteristics of urban green space system introduced, such as excellent landscape eco-structure, distinctive historical and humanistic features, and diversified natural landscape resources, and also challenges pointed out. Evolution, overall spatial structure and conservation concept of conservation-minded urban green space system planning were elaborated, on the basis of which the evaluation system of conservation-minded urban green space system was studied, and it was proposed that mutual relationship between impact factors of compound value and qualitative evaluation factors should be taken into consideration as a whole in evaluating conservation effects of green space system. Quantitative evaluation indexes and qualitative evaluation measures were analyzed, an objective and precise evaluation system for the conservation-minded urban green space system was established by combining qualitative and quantitative analysis to improve ecological environment during the urbanization, and fully show planning concepts of conservation-minded green space system.

Application of Resource-Efficient Elements in the Construction of Conservation-minded Garden

By analyzing the concept of conservation-minded garden,connotations of such gardens and their significance for the garden construction are specified.From the perspectives of spatial layout,compound planting pattern,tridimensional greening,terrain processing,utilization of underground spaces,the significance of resource-efficient elements in the construction of conservation-minded garden is respectively discussed.This study proposes that spatial layout of the conservation-minded garden should build vertical transportation,save green spaces,take terrain features into consideration,expand three-dimensional spaces,reasonably plan road network,and improve utilization rate of green spaces;advantages of the compound planting pattern are analyzed;tridimensional greening pattern is analyzed from the perspectives of roof greening and vertical greening;concepts of "core" and "surface" are highlighted in terrain processing;land-saving efficiency of underground garage and market are introduced in terms of the utilization of underground spaces.Design cases are taken as examples to summarize the application of resource-efficient elements to better serve the landscaping industry and provide references for the construction of conservation-minded garden.

Study on the Design of Conservation-minded Gardens

Based on the ancient Chinese doctrine of "less is gain,more is confusion",and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's architectural concept "less is more",connotations of "less is more" in the conservation-minded gardens were analyzed from the perspective of design and culture.Taking Tanghe Park in Qinhuangdao City,Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord,Lingering Garden in Suzhou and Jiangyangpan Eco-park for example,this study stressed the creation of maximum urbanization effects and the most vivid urban landscapes via the least materials,investment,design and human interventions,and analyzed the application of "less is more" in conservationminded garden design.

Monte Carlo Simulation-based Decision-making Model for the Water Conservation and Intermediate Water Recycling of Conservationminded Buildings

Through analyzing the life cycle cost of the water conservation and intermediate water application project of conservation-minded buildings,net present value(NPV) was applied as the index to establish the life cycle economic decision-making model.Monte Carlo simulation was used in demonstration cases,modeling analysis of water-saving projects in conservation-minded and traditional buildings verified rationality and practicability of this model and simulation method.It was to provide a referential and operable method for the decision-making of conservation-minded construction projects,as well as a scientific approach and theoretic basis for the precise decision-making of government organs,decision-making departments and developers.
