"REDISTRIBUTION OF LANDRIGHTS" : From Old Forest Management to The New 04

from Portfolio for UCL MArch Urban Design Xuanxuan Liu

"REFLECTION OF MICA" : From Old World to The New 02

China's government has banned eucalyptus since Excessive planting & logging in frequent led to serious soil erosion and ecological degradation, and blocked the ecological corridor of local primary forests. I try to propose a systematic forest land management strategy with different time stages, soil weight allocation goals, and different landscape strategies to achieve the restoration of multiple goals of local ecological economy.

Landuse Redistribution?

Stepstones are more suitable for construction in ecologically sensitive areas, which requires conditions such as gentler terrain, farther frome roads, higher exsiting plant coverage, and closer to water sources.

Corridors are more suitable for the construction of paths with water systems and high ecological potential along the route, and need to be closer to the water system father from road and the terrain is lower.

3 Selected Area for Stepstone, Corridor and Economy

Land redistribution for economy needs to be more convnient for human labor and trade, closer to roads, and construction of villages, relatively gentle terrain would be better for agriculture and animal husbandry.

How to make reasonable remanagement?

Firstly, according to the evaluation results above, area with high ecological suitability were selected, and location of step stones were determined by a more evenly distributed standard.

Secondly, based on location of stepstones to form a complete network structure, corridor's direction and location are selected from more adaptable area.

Finally, after determing stepstones and corridors, location with higher construction suitablity are selected among remaining patches, and landuse will be redistributed to improve its economic value.
