Abstract

Urban planning is often influenced by industrial and construction activities, leading to a lack of attention to the planning and construction of urban parks, which results in prominent spatial layout problems. Urban parks, as an important part of the urban green space system, play a significant role in improving the ecological environment, promoting urban economic development, and enhancing the daily living standards of the people. As a typical representative of China’s second and third-tier cities, Nanchang’s analysis of the evolution process of urban landscape patterns has reference significance for other similar cities in China. This paper is based on the theoretical foundations of landscape ecology, human geography, and urban planning, and analyzes the evolution of the park landscape pattern in the central urban area of Nanchang from 1999 to 2019 from the perspective of urban context, revealing the driving mechanisms. It provides important references and bases for the further optimization and construction development of the park landscape pattern in Nanchang. The results show that the park area and number in the central urban area of Nanchang have significantly increased, with the overall layout evolving from “central aggregation” to “core aggregation in each area”, and from “central scarcity, more on the periphery” to “inward concentration, outward diffusion”. However, the distribution of various types of parks is uneven, and there is a lack of green corridor links between parks. The park landscape pattern is driven by multiple factors such as natural factors of urban context, socio-economic factors, urban construction factors, historical policies, and related planning, which can have positive or negative effects. Incorporating relevant urban factors into the park planning system analysis can promote the benign development of urban context and park landscape layout, thereby achieving the “parkification” of the city.
