Ecological Construction Of Traditional Settlement Water Environment In Hainan Island

Hainan Island,compared to "Pearl of the South China Sea" even earthly paradise due to its long summer without winter all the year round,abundant rainfall,fresh air,cool water,pure river across the pond,is located in the southern Chinese territory.The unique natural environment of Hainan Island is the starting point and basic factor influencing the development and evolution of traditional settlements in Hainan Island.With the continuous development of settlement,human environment factors such as regional administrative construction,population distribution and other elements play a leading role gradually in the distribution and evolution of the settlement pattern on the macro level,and promote the evolution of settlements' lifestyles,spatial forms and structural components as an important factor mapping to the microcosmic level of settlement.The many uses and functions of water in the traditional settlements of Hainan Island are related to their special physical properties.Water has the ecological effect of regulating the local climate,improving air quality and improving comfort.Water has an important influence on the location of the settlement,the spatial layout and the boundary form.The ecological nature of the traditional settlement water environment in Hainan Island is mainly manifested through the ecological construction of the constituent elements of its water environment.The confluent water environment includes various components involved in water from various forms of water bodies on the aquatic ecosystem and spatially composing settlements.The main constituent elements of the traditional settlement water environment in Hainan Island cover the elements of settlement,such as water springs,wells,reservoirs,water outlets and paddy fields,which are closely related to the existence of water or closely related to water.Hot springs,cold springs and ordinary springs are distributed in Hainan Island,especially known as volcanic rock and cold springs.The well is one of the main ways to obtain water resources in the traditional settlements of Hainan Island,which promotes the expansion of traditional settlements and the development of traditional culture in Hainan Island.The reservoir plays an important role in regulating the local microclimate and improving the ecological environment of traditional settlements.The construction of the faucet conforms to the traditional concept of feng shui,which usually includes feng shui forest,feng shui tower,bridge,dam and temple.Paddy fields can be produced,but also can adjust the settlement micro-climate landscaping settlement environment.The secondary constituent elements of the traditional settlement water environment in Hainan Island cover the elements of settlement,such as buildings,gardens,roadways and plants and animals,which are affected by short-term water and affected by water.Building ecological construction skills in Hainan Island traditional settlement originate from the most basic needs of water function including rain-proof,moisture-proof,water storage and so on.The courtyard plays an important role in regulating the local microclimate.The ecological effects of the circulation of water in the courtyard will not only affect the comfort of the settlements,but will also have a significant effect on the space form,water supply system,drainage method,building materials and decorative styles of the tructures in courtyard.Roadway and street,structural skeleton of space form layout of traditional settlement,constitute the traffic system in the settlement together.Water supply and drainage systems are often associated with the settlement traffic network contacting each households,forming the roadway which is a combination of traffic functions and drainage function.Superior natual conditions in Hainan Island,such as plenty of sunshine,abundant water,pleasant climate,create a good environmental foundation for the vigorous growth of various plants and provide a sufficient source of food for the survival and reproduction of various animals.In the traditional settlement of Hainan Island,breeding a variety of poultry and livestock and planting a variety of tropical economic crops are suitable.Through the case analysis,the ecological characteristics of the traditional settlement water environment in Hainan Island are mainly as follows:according to local conditions,due to water system;low-tech ecological design method;benign ecological cycle model;practical settlement water system.What is called "One side of the landscape to raise one side;one side of the landscape has a style".
