Research On The Planning And Design Of Urban Ecological Park Based On Regional Culture

With the deterioration of global warming, sandstorm and heavy industrial pollution as well as people’s gradually enhanced environmental and ecological consciousness, urban ecological park, as a new type of city park, has gradually become a new trend in the development of city park. However, in recent years, a lot of problems have emerged in the construction of urban ecological park: some parks were called “ecological” but constructed without enough ecological functions, ignoring the consideration of landscape pattern, landscape function and landscape design methods. While some blindly copied the previous successful ecological park design without pre planning, design objectives, project scale and base location research. Some others appeared the same pattern and only paied attention on the "ecological" but ignored the “cultural” due to the lack of regional planning in depth. Therefore, based on the actual problems and regional culture, the study tried to research the application of regional culture in the planning and design of urban ecological park,and to explore the planning idea, design principle, design method and strategy of city ecological park based on regional culture.(1) Methods as literature reviewing, field investigation, theoretical research, comprehensive analysis, example verification were used to introduce regional culture innovation in the planning and design of urban ecological park.Then the prelimilary planning, the planning and design of landscape function and landscape shape of urban ecological park were discussed based on the previous studies.(2) Theories as place spirit theory, context theory, landscape culture theory, semiotics theory were researched to provide theoretical guidance and scientific basis for the urban ecological park planning and design. On the basis, the idea was put forward that the regional culture ecological park was a kind of "human ecology", and it also promoted the development of the ecological park and the natural ecological succession.(3) The relation between urban ecological park and regional culture was analyzed; problems about regional culture expression in the urban ecological park and the importance of building regional culture in urban ecological park were summarized; the expression forms of regional culture in urban ecological park were explored as history culture, folk culture, local material and plants. The design principles of urban ecological park based on regional culture were clarified as the principle of balance between regional culture and eco design, the integrity principle of regional culture combined with ecosystem,the modernity principle of the relationship between eco thought and local culture,the continuity principle of regional culture combined with eco culture.(4) To sum up, this thesis focuses on the design methods of city ecological park based on regional culture. The expression of regional culture in the ecological park was expressed through retention, reproduction, metaphor, symbol and abstractand the detailed landscape design methods were discussed from the aspects of site location, water landscape, animals and plants landscape, energy, hard landscape and landscape architecture.(5)Finally, the planning and design of "Changlu Park" in Cangzhou city was conducted, and the design concept of combination of "water-saving ecological " with "Changlu culture, water culture" was put forward. A plan with “one cultural axis, four landscape areas, six ecological gardens" was conducted. Corresponding overall layout, road system, drainage system, and detailed landscape nodes of the ecological park were designed. some special design and cultural expression was done in view of the park’s ecological location. The feasibility of urban park planning and design based on regional culture was confirmed by the practical case, and the combination between design theory with practice proved strong theoretical significance and practical value.
