ABSTRACT: With
the continuous expansion of mega-cities in China, the landscape pattern of the
original urban-rural area is broken, resulting in serious fragmentation of
landscape patches in the fringe area of the urban center and threatening urban
ecological security. Therefore, how to consider the needs for construction and development based on securing ecological security
patterns is a key consideration for the fringe areas of megacities. The study
takes Beigong Town as the research object and uses the MSPA model analysis
method to extract nine ecological source sites that are important for
ecological network construction. Then, the study constructs a comprehensive ecological resistance surface based on the MCR minimum cumulative resistance model, generates minimum cost paths to simulate regional
potential corridors, and constructs the ecological security pattern in Beigong
Town. The study further combines the
current situation of land use in Beigong Town to optimize the ecological safety
pattern and proposes the planning control systems, which provides the
basis for the next planning and construction.
