The Research Of The Military Theme Park Landscape Design

In the era of experience economy, the development trend of theme park tends to bemore dynamically experiential. Meanwhile, with the improvement of material livingstandards, people begin to pursue their spiritual needs. Hence, the military experientialactivity gradually appear into our sight. Currently, though many military training baseshave been developed in China, lots of problems are still existing in most of them, suchas few category of base types, the lack of theme landscape effect, the simple facilitieslayout, the deficiency of professional design, and be unable to guarantee the expansionof both balance, etc.. Therefore, developing the military-themed park is of practicalsignificance and can meet the public’s spiritual needs, while the landscape design is animportant part for embodying park atmosphere and enhancing public perception.After analytic researches on literature and data of military-themed parks andmilitary development, this paper firstly defines the concept and content ofmilitary-themed experiential park. Secondly, with the theoretical basis of LandscapeEcology, Environmental Psychology, Landscape Architecture, Experience DesignConcepts and Principles of Sustainable Development, as well as the reference oflandscape design methods on cases of Huangpu Military Theme Park and KoreaOktokki Aerospace Park, this paper applied multidisciplinary research, literatureresearch, case studies and other research methods to explore the landscape design ofmilitary-themed experiential park. The research achievements are as follows:1. The designing steps and contents of Military Expansion Theme Park. This paper, at first, analyses the factors to construct the landscapes of Military expansion themepark, which mainly includes theme factors, natural factors and humanism factors. Andthe analysis focuses on those factors which will influence the expansion installation andobstacle。Then the park is divided into five function areas: entrance integrated servicearea, military expansion experience area, field operation-game area, virtual tacticsexperience area and camp site area according to the structure of landscape in theme park.And the landscapes and environment above are designed in detail. As for militaryexpansion experience area, field operations game area and camp site area, this papermakes a further introduction of all of the function and composition in the above areas,and performs a deeper design to the landscapes in this area, meeting the special siterequirements in theme area, to make the distribution of landscapes and generalenvironment accord with subdivision themes.2. The principles and approaches to design the landscape of the military theme park.In the exploring of the landscape of the military theme park design, we extract andpurify the principles and approaches to design the landscape of the military theme park.Specific for: The landscape design of the military expansion theme park should treat thetopicality as the first principle, the designed landscape should show the military expandcultural theme of park; Secondly, we should combine the entertainment with themilitary culture and the national defense education, so as to rich the landscape containof the military expand theme park; As many landscape of the theme park need theparticipation of tourists to become integrity, so we should combine the static view withthe dynamic experience while designing; At last, we should pay attention to security ofthe military expanding theme park’s continue developing and sustainable landscape, wemust hold the ecological sustainable principle all cross the whole design procedure.(2)Design method. Can be summarized as each subject area’s independence andconsistency design, the theme landscape design show the usage of the design philosophy,the primary and secondary relations of the park, and the transition zone layout and thelandscape nodes design.①Each topic area of the different elaborate topic should ensure the independence of landscape;②As the common landscape between eachsubject area should has consistency and harmony;③As the function theme area whereneed the deeply involved by the tourists, for example-the design of the military zoneand the war game area should has the experiencing design concepts to ensure the qualityof tourist experience;④Select1-2subject area as the core area of the theme park, andshow the primary and secondary relations of the park;⑤The design to the arrangementof the transition area and the landscape node are absolutely necessary.
