Abstract The scientific establishment of the Ecological Security Pattern (ESP) is crucial for fostering synergistic development ecological and recreational functions, thereby enhancing urban protection, development, sustainable growth. This study aimed to propose a novel method constructing ESP considering both reconstruct by weighing relationship between protection development. Utilizing Fuzhou City as case study, comprehensive application methodologies including Morphological Spatial Analysis (MSPA), landscape connectivity analysis, ArcGIS spatial social network analysis (SNA), circuit theory employed develop Recreational (RSP). A trade-off matrix created facilitate reconstruction ESP, delineate functional zones, identify strategic points, followed thorough optimization strategy. revealed 36 source areas (ESAs) within City, encompassing total area 5807.90 km², predominantly situated in western northern regions. Additionally, 98 corridors (ECs) were identified, extending over 2500.55 km, alongside 100 pinch points (EPPs) 146 barrier (EBPs). city also contains 57 nodes (RNs),, which display distribution characterized “dense east, sparse west” pattern. Furthermore, 165 (RCs) extracted, covering distance 3795.21 km. Based on matrix, was categorized into eight zones: core zone, important eco-recreation key secondary elastic zone.The identified 95 475 sub-strategic. multifunctional complex constructed, “one core, five districts, six corridors, seven wedges”, tailored planning strategy proposed. research contributes theoretical framework construction supports coordinated high-quality activities environments.

Ecological Network Optimization and Security Pattern Development for Kunming’s Main Urban Area Using the MSPA-MCR Model

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 17(8), P. 3623 - 3623

Published: April 17, 2025

Rapid urbanization has greatly altered urban ecological spaces and habitat quality functions, threatening regional biodiversity the sustainability of landscapes. Therefore, constructing a comprehensive network safety patterns is crucial for ecosystem management development. However, simple quantification networks fails to meet construction needs patterns, most studies focus solely on analysis, thus overlooking importance spatial analysis. This study proposes method assessment combined with hotspot analysis coupled standard deviational ellipse which not only satisfies quantitative but also adds methods, facilitating more patterns. Firstly, through morphological pattern (MSPA) landscape connectivity indices, source areas in main area Kunming were identified, integrating various resistance factors corrective construct an surface. The minimum cumulative (MCR) model was used identify potential corridors, their evaluated using gravity model, establishing network. Secondly, based structure assessed optimized. On this basis, constructed. results show following: core region 2402.28 km2, accounting 52.07% total area; there are 13 areas, totaling 2102.89 45.58% 178 including 15 level-one corridors 19 level-two corridors; 103 nodes, 70 “stepping stones”, 48 breakpoints identified. In terms optimization, six new added, covering 16.22 increased 324, 11 level two 51 24 major breakpoints. After closure index (α), (β), rate (γ) improved by 15.16%, 24.56%, 17.79%, respectively.

Construction of Wetland Ecological Security Pattern in Wuhan Metropolitan Core Area Considering Wetland Ecological Risk

Land, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 13(9), P. 1407 - 1407

Published: Sept. 1, 2024

Wetlands play a crucial role in maintaining biodiversity and ecological balance. Preserving the security of wetlands is critically important for regional environmental protection sustainable development. However, core area Wuhan metropolitan circle, which rapidly urbanizing, its are more susceptible to external natural risks, such as changes temperature rainfall, well risks human activity, social economic activities, urban expansion, land use changes, population growth. Meanwhile, internal vulnerability terms their spatial extent, structure, functions also exacerbates risks. These factors collectively influence formation development wetland This study aims comprehensively assess circle by combining hazards vulnerabilities construct optimize wetlands’ pattern. We used MSPA method identify potential sources. Additionally, MCR model was employed integrate risk assessment results into resistance surface, corridors nodes, pattern propose specific optimization strategies. In total, 31 primary 106 secondary sources were selected, along with 20 42 nodes. Furthermore, 10 major constructed. Considering landscape characteristics southern Yangtze River region will center around Liangzi Lake group establish corridor network, promoting overall restoration connectivity. northern form chain-like distribution river, creating diverse ecosystems. provides theoretical foundation constructing optimizing wetlands, laying solid groundwork conservation

Forests, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 15(10), P. 1818 - 1818

Published: Oct. 17, 2024

As urban spaces expand, changes in land use significantly affect the structure and function of ecosystems, particularly with challenges such as green space reduction uneven distribution. This study focused on central area Chengdu, China, simulating forecasting various development scenarios for 2035, including cultivated protection (CP), economic (ED), ecological priority (EP), natural (ND). The construction networks followed a systematic process, incorporating key methods source identification, landscape resistance surface construction, corridor extraction. connectivity these was assessed using syntax. results indicated that: (1) Construction expanded across all scenarios, ED scenario having largest area, while EP resulted significant increase space. (2) Ecological corridors were established under every scenario, featuring most extensive well-connected network, linking patches surrounding areas. (3) scenario’s network displayed integration, choice, connectivity, depth values that indicate complete stable structure. provides comprehensive analysis different strategies, offering valuable insights optimizing planning management.
