Research On The Present Situation And Development Tendency Of Nightscape In Lanzhou

The present situation and development tendency of nightscape in Lanzhou is a kind of research based on comprehensive environmental designing theory.This study includes knowledge in the environmental design theory,art theory,learning theory,as well as architecture and urban and rural planning.It mainly includes analysis and study of present situation and development tendency of nightscape in Lanzhou.Present situation investigation includes study of overall appearance of nightscape based on the city image and local landscape according to recognition of urban areas and cognitive map elements.Analyzing of present situation of nightscape in Lanzhou should start from overall appearance characteristics of this city,namely,the city image.The theory of city image is considered as the instructional theory of urban designing and environmental designing.City nightscape designing not only belongs to the category of environmental designing,but also the content of city designing,so the theory of city image also can guide city nightscape designing.It is a feasible method to analyze the present situation of nightscape in Lanzhou by using construction of city image and cognitive map in the theory of city image.Then,according to conclusion above,the author predicts the development tendency of nightscape in Lanzhou.Of course,this prediction is carried out from two aspects: macro and micro.Overall,under the supervision of the theory of city image and cognitive map,there are high academic value and practical significance of analyzing present situation and development tendency of nightscape in Lanzhou.From this perspective,this study basically conforms to the high level requirements of the environment designing theory.This study belongs to the project of social science research,so the main social science research methods are adopted in problems-solving.There are three kinds of methodologies: case study,observation method and survey method.Case study is applied in analyzing excellent nightscape construction in different places at the beginning of the study;observation method is applied in analyzing city image of Lanzhou;survey method is applied in analyzing cognitive map phase.This study is mainly composed of four parts.The first part is analyzing city image and the influence of cognitive maps of city nightscape from the domestic andforeign outstanding cases.The second part is analyzing the relevance between city image in Lanzhou as well as cognitive map theory and the development of city nightscape in Lanzhou.The third part is analyzing the present situation of nightscape in Lanzhou under the research of Lanzhou city image and cognitive map,and the author explicitly proposes the advantages and disadvantages of city nightscape construction in Lanzhou.The last part is forecasting the development tendency of city nightscape in Lanzhou from the aspects of city image and the construction of cognitive map.
