- Abstract：
- This planning research project,the National Ecological Security Pattern Plan,was commissioned by theChinese Ministry of Environmental Protection and was carried out by the Graduate School of Landscape Architecture(nowthe College of Architecture and LandscapeArchitecture)at Peking University in association with Turenscape.It identifies critical stra-tegic landscape structures for safeguardingnatural,biological,cultural,andrecreational processes,thus securing the wide range of ecosystem functions essential for sustaininghuman society.In China during the prescientific period,critical landscape patterns suchas "dragon hills"(sacred hills)or "feng shuiforests"were protected.In the last three decades,as population,economicdevelopment,and urbanization have significantlyincreased,people have altered the landscape to an unprecedented extent.This,along with globalclimate change,has profoundly disrupted the structure and function of ecosystems,resulting in increased ecological and environmental problems such as the melting of glaciers and permafrost,wetland degradation,soil erosion desertification,flood intensification,loss of biodiversity,and degradation of water conservation capacity.
