Research On The Comprehensive Improvement Of The Urban Highway Entrances Landscape

Urban highway entrances in cities are an important hub of modern city's external transportation, while at the same time, it is the only way that vehicles pass in and out of the city. Through the theoretical research on the comprehensive improvement of urban highway entrances, it offers a guidance for landscape designers of future urban highway entrances and achieves theoretical significance of the research. In the meanwhile, by using theory guidance of landscape design to realize the pract ical significance of increasing traffic safety, improving city ecological environment, enhancing city image quality, etc., which creates beautiful, comfortable space environment and visual environment for urban highway entrances users.This paper carries on a research on the whole coordination of urban highway entrances landscape, landscape and traffic safety, road landscape design, and the positive utilization of urban negative landscape. The research is based on the study of large amount of documents and books and has integrated the current research status and the practical case of comprehensive improvement of the urban highway entrances landscape of Jiuyuan, Baotou. The conclusions are as follows:1?Different contents of the comprehensive improvement of the urban highway entrances landscape should be placed in specific regions of a city. The theme of the landscape should be positioned on the city center. Historical and cultural elements, regional features, leading industries and the functions of the city should be put in the city or in the urban functional area. The systematic features of the landscape and the design of the city space should be analyzed under the research domain. While the detailed design can be put in the road landscape which is within people's view. 2?Factors that affect the traffic safety in the comprehensive improvement of the urban highway entrances landscape should be given much attention in order to ensure the integrity and continuity of the landscape. The regulation scheme should be feasible and conform to regional economic development, as well as the history, culture and regional features of the city.3?Comprehensive improvement of the urban highway entrances landscape should be designed in combination with the la nd, site and space of the city so that different styles and features can be reflected during different seasons. The regional features, ecological notions and the natural landscape should also be taken into consideration in order to have a characteristic design.4?Landmark landscape varies from cultural landscape to natural landscape. It can also be the changes in spaces. In principle, if there is already landscape resource to act as landmark resource, new landmark landscape will not be made.5?It is universal and inevitable for the existence of negative landscape and therefore its positive utilization should be considered. The positive utilization of negative landscape is not to flatten it because there are reasons for its existence. It is necessary to do a research on how to utilize it. We should be positive to negative landscape and analyze its advantages and disadvantages with a multi- value view. We should also take its advantage and modify it so as to make use of its positive side.
