Rural Construction and Ecological Environment Optimization in Northwest China Based on Sustainability

Abstract

With the rapid development of rural urbanization, rural areas, especially in northwest China, have been exposed many problems. Living quality cannot be guaranteed. Environmental quality is deteriorating. Rural development has encountered the unprecedented problems and challenges. Under the background of the integration of urban and rural areas, the development of rural areas is also in a dilemma. In this research, based on the actual situation of Guanzhong region in Shaanxi Province, the rural villages are classified according to their resources, environment and formation time. At the same time, combined with previous literature, a group of villages has been selected as object to conduct on-site investigation and analysis including ecological environment, planning layout, public space, building energy saving and so on. Hopefully, the analysis of physical formation can makes people have a more in-depth understanding of sustainability. We are going to understand the problems encountered and solutions related in the sustainable development of rural areas from a critical perspective. By putting forward the corresponding strategies and development focus, a set of multiple sustainable development model for different types of villages has been summarized and proposed. Importantly, it can be some enlightenments for further studies.

Empirical Study on the Influence of Urban Environmental Industrial Structure Optimization on Ecological Landscape Greening Construction

“…The rationalization of environmental industrial structure ( TL ) uses the Thiel index ( TL ) to measure the rationality of industrial structure and to refine it. The connotation of industrial structure rationalization refers to the structural transformation ability between different industries, the degree of efficient use of resources, and the coordination between the structures of each factor input and output [ 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 ]. The industrial structure rational output value proposed in this paper is a deviation index, which reflects the negative correlation of industrial structure rationalization, and the larger its value is, the lower the degree of industrial structure rationalization is.…”

Reconsidering adaptive industrialized construction in Chinese rural areas: responding to the challenge of COVID-19

“…Other scholars have attempted to compensate for insufficient building materials in developing countries by integrating conventional materials with industrial products. For example, Liu and Huang (2020) studied the adoption of wood, straw, and loess-blended concrete in a Northwest Chinese residence. Adom-Asamoah et al (2017, 2018 validated the engineering performance of bamboo-reinforced self-compacting concrete components.…”

Architectural Simulations on Spatio-Temporal Changes of Settlement Outdoor Thermal Environment in Guanzhong Area, China

“…More specifically, natural surfaces (vegetation, water surface, etc.) have been replaced by artificial surfaces (impermeable surfaces) due to chaotic and disorderly rural planning caused by a lack of reasonable policy guidance and planning strategies [6,7]. Moreover, the air temperature near impermeable ground will increase due to impermeable surfaces (concrete, etc.)…”
