Abstract

The unique geography and climatic condition determines the landscape environment characteristics of mountain village in western China. In recent years, with the fast development of the urban-rural integration and urbanization process, the traditional rural landscape is gradually transiting to the modern rural landscape. In the course of transformation, the natural patches and semi-natural patches that can reflect local culture are replaced constantly by artificial patches, which makes natural elements decrease and fade away in rural landscape. Aiming at this phenomenon, paying attention to ecology, protecting the local culture and fully utilizing natural landscape resources gradually become the dominant idea of rural landscape planning under the impetus of the new-type urbanization core concepts. This paper investigates and explores the existing problems in rural landscape environment, analyzes its influencing factors and control elements and proposes design strategies to cope with the situation. The design strategies with local native soil characteristic are realized in Li jiayuan village in Qing muchuan town project, and it can play the role of demonstration in the design of rural landscape.

Keywords: Local culture, native soil characteristic, new-type urbanization, rural landscape.
