Hypothesis
This study aims to propose a novel method of constructing an Ecological Security Pattern (ESP) that integrates ecological and recreational functions.
Conclusion
The study successfully identified 36 ecological source areas and 98 ecological corridors in Fuzhou City, proposing a multifunctional ESP that balances ecological protection and recreational development.
Supporting Evidence
- 36 ecological source areas were identified, covering 5807.90 km².
- 98 ecological corridors were identified, extending over 2500.55 km.
- 57 recreational nodes were identified, with a distribution pattern of 'dense in the east, sparse in the west'.
- 165 recreational corridors were extracted, covering a distance of 3795.21 km.
Takeaway
The research helps make Fuzhou City a better place by planning green spaces for both nature and fun activities, ensuring they work well together.
Methodology
The study utilized Morphological Spatial Pattern Analysis (MSPA), landscape connectivity analysis, ArcGIS spatial analysis, social network analysis (SNA), and circuit theory.
Limitations
The study is limited by the substantial workload associated with data collection and the need for further refinement of the indicator system.
Participant Demographics
Fuzhou's permanent population is approximately 8.469 million, with an urbanization rate of 73.91%.
