In the context of globalization, conscious choice and construction of cultural patterns are of great necessity. Choice is related to comparison and involves evaluation comparisons of nature and function and recognition comparisons of content and structure regarding cultural patterns. This paper holds that cultural values can be established based on the foundations of basic cultural value functions, namely if they satisfy people's need for transcendence and enhancement, appreciation of the beauty, social survival and progress. Also, different situations should be combined with specific existence situations within a specific culture. Accordingly, life-vitality orientation should be regarded as a criterion in cultural evaluation and choice.展开更多

We developed an interdisciplinary modeling framework to evaluate the effectiveness and shortcomings of urban expansion management strategies. A three-step method was applied to Yinchuan Plain in the northwestern of China, including(1)analyzing the relationship between landscape pattern and ecosystem service values through mathematical statistics;(2) predicting landscape pattern and ecosystem services change under different scenarios based on cellular automaton model(SLEUTH-3r model); and(3) designing and validating optimized scenario through integrating historical analysis experiments and future multi-comparison suggestions. Results have suggested that landscape composition and configuration can significantly affect regional ecosystem service values, especially the connectivity and shape of landscape. Compact urban growth policy and medium environment protection policy are the appropriate setting for urban expansion plan. Optimization validation of the combined designed scenario implied the reliability of this method. Our results highlighted the significance of integrating application of landscape pattern analysis, ecosystem service value evaluation,model simulation and multi-scenario prediction in urban planning.展开更多
