Spatiotemporal Analysis and Control of Landscape Eco-Security at the Urban Fringe in Shrinking Resource Cities: A Case Study in Daqing, China

Abstract

As the main bearing area of the ecological crisis in resource-rich cities, it is essential for the urban fringe to enhance regional ecological security during a city’s transformation. This paper takes Daqing City, the largest oilfield in China’s cold land, as an example. Based on remote sensing image data from 1980 to 2017, we use the DPSIR (Driving forces, Pressure, State, Impact, Response) framework and spatial auto-correlation analysis methods to assess and analyze the landscape eco-security change of the study area. From the perspective of time–space, the study area is partitioned, and control strategies are proposed. The results demonstrate that: (1) The landscape eco-security changes are mainly affected by oilfield exploitation and ecological protection policies; the index declined in 1980–2000 and increased in 2000–2017. (2) The landscape eco-security index has obvious spatial clustering characteristics, and the oil field is the main area of warning. (3) The study area determined the protection area of 1692.07 km2, the risk restoration area of 979.64 km2, and proposed partition control strategies. The results are expected to provide new decision-making ideas in order to develop land use management and ecological plans for the management of Daqing and other resource shrinking cities.

Research on Urban Fringe Rural Design Based on Correlation Analysis of Human-Land Relationship: Taking Xiananshan Village as an Example

“…Current Status of Research in the Urban Fringe. In 1936, the German geographer Herbert Louis first proposed the urban fringe zone when he studied the geographic structure of Berlin from an urban morphological perspective [24], and in the 1960s, the British MRG Conzen, who focused on the urban landscape, proposed the urban fringe zone not only as a way of explaining changes in the urban landscape [25] but also as a means of ordering the complex process of urban development. He argues that the urban fringe is the frontier of urban territorial diffusion but that this expansion is not a steady progression but rather a cyclical change in three states, acceleration, stasis, and deceleration, and graphically compares this cyclical structure of urban development to the annual rings of trees.…”

“…The analysis of the territorial system of humanterritory relations in tourism is not enough to rely on qualitative research alone but needs to be combined with quantitative analysis [21]. The two major methodologies are derived from the characteristics of the discipline of geography, namely, the comprehensive and systematic analysis method and the regional and area analysis method [24].…”

Identification of Ecological Risk “Source-Sink” Landscape Functions of Resource-Based Region: A Case Study in Liaoning Province, China

“…Because the original landscape data did not include mines, we superimposed the two. Using ArcGIS 10.4 software and considering relevant research and the accuracy and calculation efficiency of the results [21,38,39], the study area was divided into a 5 km × 5 km grid. A total of 6307 evaluation units (Figure 1) were obtained for subsequent calculations.…”

“…(3) Ecological vulnerability and ecological security of RBCs. The long-term mining of mines will pose tremendous pressure to the urban ecological security and ecological vulnerability degree of RBCs, which is the difficulty 100 in realizing urban and industrial transformation in RBCs (Chen et al, 2019;He et al, 101 2020; Dai et al, 2020).…”
