Abstract

Industrial wasteland is a special landscape type. It is negatively influenced by severe human disturbance, which has higher heterogeneous characteristic and weaker stability, and in which various natural process including water and biological ones may be influenced. Many environmental problems occur, such as landscape fragmentation, pollution diffusion, water chaos, habitat degradation and so on. Many engineering and biological method can be used to solve these problems, including toxicity and pollution treatment, soil amends, vegetation restoration and physical repair. Accompanying with ecological restoration, landscape architecture can help regenerate and strengthen aesthetic value of industrial wasteland and will be beneficial to the health of regional eco-system, local economic development, the environment and local peoples. This thesis firstly analysis the landscape ecological characteristic and environmental effects of industrial wasteland, then summarizes various means of restoration and reconstruction basing on engineering and biological solution, evaluates different approach of utilization, and introduces some cases, it finally puts forward principles for the sustainable landscape design of industrial wasteland, including resource reuse, natural process and succession, alternative design and human place.
