Ecological sensitivity analysis in Wuhan city based on RS and GIS

Abstract

With the development of society and technology, human beings on the natural environment sphere of influence and strength are constantly increasing. It causes more and more regional ecological environment problems. To protect and improve the ecological environment has become the major issues which the most world countries and areas paid more and more attention to. Ecological sensitivity analysis is the ecological strategy which the world countries and areas widely adopted currently. The spatial ecological sensitivity distribution had been divided in Wuhan city based on RS and GIS; and the distribution was classified into five different grades (best sensitivity region, better sensitivity region, sensitivity region, weaker sensitivity region, non-sensitivity region). On this basis, the corresponding protecting policies were put forward, thus the paper provided scientific foundation for rational urban industry distribution and regional eco-environment protection in future.
