Meishan Cultural Park Wetland Landscape Design

As one of the most important natural ecological environment in the earth，wetlandis called “the kidney of the earth”. It is not only a kind of ecological landscape withrichest biodiversity， but also a key environment for human’s survival. Wetland refersto natural or artificial， permanent or temporary marshes， peatland， zone with staticor flowing freshwater， brackish or salt water， including coastal waters with low tidelevel less than6meters.In recent years， with the speeding up of our country’seconomic development and the improvement of people’s living standards，people havea desire and demand to return to the nature for high-speed city living environment. Inorder to meet the people’s pursuit of the ecological environment， the landscape designof wetland has drawn more attention and got a rapid development. Both natural andartificial wetland are playing an increasingly important part in the natural environmentof cities and tourism areas.Study of wetland landscape design aims chiefly at pursuing harmoniousco-existence between man and nature， seeking to design a road of harmoniousecological landscape design. This thesis takes the wetland landscape of MeishanCultural Park as an example， poring on its landscape design and explores deeply thebalance between the ecological environment protection and landscape’s developmentas well as design of Meishan Cultural Park. According to relative theories of landscapedesign， an effective wetland landscape design scheme suitable for Meishan CulturalPark will be explored and its unique value and function of the wetland landscape willbe dig out combining with design practice.The thesis includes four chapters. The outline of the study is presented below.Chapter one serves as the general introduction， which includes the researchbackground， the purpose and significance of the research. Meanwhile， the authorexplains the content of the research and discusses a suitable approach. Chapter twooffers the theoretical foundation of this research and discussion of subdividing wetlandlandscape design theories. Chapter three aims to analyzing the current situation andexisting problems of Meishan Cultural Park， and puts forward considerations onhow to protect and develop the wetland landscape of Meishan Cultural Park landscapeand ecological environment. Chapter four is the key part of the thesis. It employs thetheory to guide the practice to realize the purpose of harmony between human and nature of the wetland landscape of Meishan Cultural Park， to achieve the ecologicalbalance.
