Evaluation of Urban Water System Development from the Perspective of Space by XIE Qianwen, LIU Jiangtao, WEI Jie, REN Dawei

“…To adapt to the reform of spatial planning in the new era,this study evaluates the urban water system from the new perspective of space and lays the foundation for the future use of spatial means to realize the optimization and sustainable development of urban water system functions.Taking Shenzhen as an example,this paper divides its urban water system space into four types,namely,resource ecology space,engineering facility space,water-city integrated space,and safety risk space,and evaluates them from the dimensions of the total space,composition and layout,system carrying capacity,and space quality.The results indicate that the space occupancy rate of the water system is generally low,and the local water resources and the carrying capacity of the water environment are limited,which are vulnerable to multiple disasters of floods and surges.The potential risk areas are mainly distributed in densely populated areas and industry-intensive areas.The spatial service quality of the water system has great potential for improvement considering the low biodiversity of rivers and lakes,the insufficient attraction of waterfront space,and a low proportion of the complex utilization of facility space.…”

Study on the Construction Plan of Countryside Type Ecological Belt Based on Ecological Orientation:Taking the Ecological Restoration of Ecological Belt of Chunzi River in Longgang... by TANG Yawen, LIU Xuepeng, HUANG Yilong, YU Yuanyan, LUO yao

“…Ecological belt,is the innovative practice of ecological civilization in Guangdong province,the idea and interpretation of happy rivers and lakes,and the product of water management to a certain stage.In order to explore the methods and approaches of ecological restoration in the construction of ecological belt,taking the ecological belt of Chunzi River in Longgang District,Shenzhen as an example,this paper investigates and monitors the water environment and water ecology of Chunzi River in detail by means of field investigation and experimental analysis,and proposes systematically the water ecological restoration scheme in ecological belt construction according to the theory of focal species.The results indicate that:①Through analyzing the structure and diversity indices of aquatic organisms,the water bodies are in a moderate to heavy pollution state,and higher aquatic organisms are dominated by exotic fishes.The aquatic ecosystem is severely damaged;while the terrestrial ecosystem is less disturbed.②The sewage treatment plant (with effluent water quality reaching the ready class III) — integrated constructed wetland-reservoir water quality purification system,the habitat improvement system of optimized forest structure in mountain-waterfront-shallow,and the symbiotic stable ecosystem of “submerged plants-floating-leaved plants-emergent plants-zooplankton-fish” are put forward,and a water ecology pattern of conservation-recreation-protection is built.③In the future,combined with the implementation of the project,continuous monitoring of water environment and water ecology will be carried out,and restoration scheme will be optimized and improved,so as to provide Shenzhen sample for the construction of ecological belt in Guangdong Province.…”
