Abstract

PurposeWith rapid urbanization, cities are facing various ecological and environmental problems. Living in harmony with nature is more important than ever. This paper aims to evaluate the ecosystem and ecological features of Azheke village, a key component of the Hani Rice Terraces World Cultural Heritage in China. The focus is on exploring effective ways to improve the relationship between humans and the natural environment through urban design in order to create a livable and sustainable city that can promote the development of sustainable smart urban ecology design.Design/methodology/approachThis study conducted a systematic literature review to answer the following research questions: (1) How does Azheke design achieve harmony between humans and nature? (2) What are the effective approaches to improve the relationship between humans and nature within urban ecosystems? (3) How can urban design learn and integrate from Azheke’s ecological features to improve the relationship between humans and nature?FindingsAzheke sustains long-term human-nature harmony through traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) and efficient natural resource use. By incorporating biophilic design and nature-based solutions from Azheke, along with biodiversity-friendly urban planning, we can boost urban ecosystem health and create unique Azheke-inspired urban designs.Research limitations/implicationsThis research primarily focuses on the human-nature relationship, exploring design strategies based on biodiversity without delving into the interactions between other components of urban ecosystems, such as social-cultural and economic components.Originality/valueThis paper provides a new perspective and strategies for developing sustainable and smart urban ecology design. These findings can provide theoretical references for urban planners, designers and decision-makers.
创建可持续的城市生态系统:阿泽克村模式
目的随着城市化进程的加快,城市正面临着各种生态和环境问题。与自然和谐相处比以往任何时候都更加重要。本文旨在评估中国哈尼梯田世界文化遗产的重要组成部分--阿热克村的生态系统和生态特征。设计/方法/途径本研究进行了系统的文献综述,以回答以下研究问题:(1) 阿热克设计如何实现人与自然的和谐?(2) 在城市生态系统中,改善人与自然关系的有效方法是什么?(3) 城市设计如何学习和整合阿泽科的生态特征,以改善人与自然的关系?研究结果 阿泽科通过传统生态知识(TEK)和有效的自然资源利用,维持了人与自然的长期和谐。研究局限性/意义本研究主要关注人与自然的关系,探索基于生物多样性的设计策略,而没有深入研究城市生态系统其他组成部分(如社会文化和经济组成部分)之间的相互作用。这些发现可为城市规划者、设计师和决策者提供理论参考。
