Preliminary Study On Application Of Closed-to-nature Landscape In Agri-tourism Park

Nowadays, the rapid population growth led to urban sprawl and dwindling agricultural land resources. Agri-tourism park as a compound of agricultural production and economic activities has become more and more popular. But, for the limited understanding of agri-tourism in China, many developers ignore the rational use of natural resources and protection of the natural environment when they just sided pursuit of economic benefits of tourism and agricultural production efficiency. Even worse, some developers are completely driven by interests to develop a lot of urban recreation projects, which damages agricultural ecological environment and violates the initial intention for people. To create a place which provide natural eco-tourism and release the pressure of work. Closed-to-nature landscape applied in agri-tourism park is a form of agri-tourism development which is based on agricultural ecological resources. This modern sustainable agricultural developing model is consisted of ecology, tourism and productivity effect. It is an effective way to solve different contradictions in the development of agri-tourism. But in recent natural landscape application on agri-tourism is still a lack of scientific and rational concepts and methods to guide construction.In this paper, the previous researches were focused on the planning and design of agri-tourism park, relevant concepts of closed-to-nature landscape, closed-to-nature plant configuration, near-natural river restoration and so on. There is no specialized research on near-natural landscapes in the application of agri-tourism parks,by reviewing a large number of recent natural landscape and agricultural parks landscape planning and design theories. The relevant concepts of closed-to-nature landscape and construction are described in the research, also investigation and analysis are made on oversea and domestic research progress of closed-to-nature landscape and agri-tourism. Meanwhile, the relevant principles of ecology, tourism, economics and experience of nature-approximation forestry, near-natural river restoration are used in this study. Furthermore, analysis the successful experiences of agri-tourism landscape planning and construction, by investigating both oversea and domestic case study of closed-to-nature landscape construction. Based on the research, the landscape characteristics, elements, constructing principles and methods of the application of closed-to-nature landscape in agri-tourism has been summarized in this research.Above from the mentioned research and analysis, as an example of Sanchahe village, the thesis divided the destination into "Core area, Naturalized tourism area, Traditional farming experience area, Comprehensive service area, Natural protective forest area" which is based on the actual analysis. On the purpose of naturalized constructing, non-urbanized agri-tourism landscape and ease the stress of city dwellers, the thesis divided the construction of closed-to-nature landscape into seven different parts which are ecological agricultural system, terrain, plant, water, road, architecture, routes and activities of recreation. According to the research of each part, the thesis summarized the specific constructed ways for how to apply closed-to-nature landscape into agri-tourism.Comprehensive the study and practice of this article, draws the following conclusions. Closed-to-nature landscape applied to the planning and design of agri-tourism parks is necessary and feasible, this approach designed to meet the aspirations of people eager to get close to nature and experience farming; through the relevant theoretical research and case analysis, the ideas and methods in agricultural parks of closed-to-nature landscape construction; for the actual case, presented the different parts of specific measures and methods of the application of closed-to-nature landscape in agri-tourism park. This thesis is aimed to provide a certain reference for closed-to-nature landscape planning and design in agri-tourism and even urban agriculture.
