Study On Regional Human Settlements Construction In Three Gorges Reservoir Area

Entering the 21st century, the process of globalization changes the basic theoretical framework of"Regional plan"or"Urban district (Urban agglomeration, Metropolitan Area) development strategy plan and research"since the 1990s. It breaks the old base, the level system of national administrative districts, completely. At the same time, it establishes the new urban-rural economic and social network structure system. Hub of the system is the economic and social"spatial functional node". Link of the system is the corridor of flow.The theoretical system of Sciences of Human Settlements which is suggested by Mr. WU Liangyong, Tsinghua University, becomes an eminent study for the greatly change. Its base is the Sciences of Human Settlements. It builds the construction system of economy, society and environment, which takes human as the core and takes the spatial structure of urban-rural settlements as the body.The research on the construction of regional human settlements in Three Gorges Reservoir Area is just generated from the topic.The paper summarizes the latest trends of urban planning, architecture, geography, demography, regional economics and so forth, on the base of regional development as a whole, under the guidance of the Sciences of Human Settlements and the problem-oriented complex research method.It establishes the problem analysis framework of"architecture-landscape-urban plan"for regional settlements construction with the construction practice in the rapid urbanization as the orientation.It does a longitudinal research on the historical development of human settlements using the study method of historical document, taking the Three Gorges Reservoir Area as the study object, which is very typical on the problems of human-land conflict, industry emptiness and environment sensitivity.It does a pertinent research on the population distribution, industrial optimization and spatial density, combining the investigation of current situation and oriented by the problems. In the stage, it gives solving paths that"Redistribution of population guides to relieve the human-land conflict","Construction of characteristic industrial cluster ends the industry emptiness","Development of priority zones recombines the urban-rural spatial structure". Based on these, the paper does an empirical research in the form of"Construction Program of Human Settlements in Three Gorges Reservoir Area (2008-2020)"In the end, the paper gets the conclusion from three levels of cases: human settlements construction of central cities, districts and counties, special planning and research.The paper is composed of the following seven parts:Introduction, the chapter one, which is on the topic selection, gives the literature review and comments, summarizes the theoretical framework, puts forward the realistic proposition of the human settlements construction of Three Gorges Reservoir Area.Chapter two, which is oriented by the three typical problems, proposes the problem analysis framework, and shows out the three pertinent solving paths.Chapter three, which is on the contradiction of human and land, illustrates the historical background of human-land conflict in the region, promotes urbanization propulsion mode for the coordinated development of human and land according to the environmental population capacity. It must develop from the current"V"mode to the"W"mode, and finally into the"U"mode.Chapter four, which is on the adjustment and optimization of industrial structure, carries on the coordination the regional development localization in national main-functional zones, suggests building the framework system of characteristic leading industries, and furthermore, gives the countermeasures of constructing the industry cluster organization to improve regional competitiveness.Chapter five, which is on the geographical distribution pattern and the spatial structure of urban system, proposes the optimization strategies of spatial structure to the western, middle and eastern region of the reservoir area, and finally accomplishes the spatial restructuring plan by dividing main-functional zones in the region.Chapter six, which is on the construction program of human settlements in Three Gorges Reservoir Area, integrates the analysis framework, puts forward the construction ideas of population redistribution, industry aggregation and space integrating, in the end , gets the conclusion from three levels of cases.Conclusion, the chapter seven, summarized the innovations and deficiencies.
