Description
Summary:The identification and zoning of complex ecological functions is the research focus and application difficulty of territorial spatial planning, and it is also the ecological security guarantee for the green and sustainable development model. Taking Huzhou City of Zhejiang Province as the study area, we analyzed and evaluated the connotation and intensity of complex ecosystem services from the perspectives of ecological regulation, material production and landscape culture, and used a “three-dimensional Rubik’s cube” model to partition the space, and put forward control suggestions. The results were as follows: 1) The spatial agglomeration of ecosystem services in Huzhou City was significant. The high value area of ecological regulation service was concentrated in the central and western regions and the northern mountainous areas. The high value area of material production service was concentrated in the western water network plain areas. The high value area of landscape culture service was concentrated in the east-west axis regions and the northern mountainous areas. 2) According to the importance of ecological protection, the study area was divided into three levels and seven subareas based on ecological functions. The first level was the key ecological protection, including the core ecological protection zone and the important natural resource protection zone. The second level was ecological function guarantee, including general ecological protection zone, ecology-production economy compound zone and ecology-tourism economy compound zone. The third level was comprehensive utilization, including town-tourism economy zone and town-production economy zone. It is suggested that in the new era, the regional development should be considered as a bottom line for ecological protection and an upper limit for urban development. In the ecological protection space, we should actively explore the path to realize the value of ecological products, and give full play to the ecological function of natural resources in the rational layout of urban development space.
