Abstract

In the strategic orientation of promoting high-quality development of metropolitan areas, ecological space is not only the core carrier for maintaining regional ecological balance and harmony but also a key element in shaping the scientific layout of metropolitan areas and promoting harmonious coexistence between cities and nature. This paper takes the Chang-Zhu-Tan metropolitan area as the research object and identifies and classifies ecological space based on the “Production-Life-Ecology” concept, extracts core ecological source areas through the minimum resistance model, and generates ecological resistance surfaces. Then, three types of ecological space corridors are constructed by using the MCR gravity model. This study finds that the ecological space in the Chang-Zhu-Tan metropolitan area is seriously fragmented, the number of corridors is insufficient, and the spatial configuration of the “Production-Life-Ecology” is imbalanced in the region and proposes optimization models and strategies in combination with the spatial network approach to identify and classify ecological space patterns for the metropolitan area. Accordingly, the study proposes optimization models and strategies based on the spatial network approach to provide theoretical support and practical guidance for the ecological spatial pattern and sustainable development of the metropolitan area.
