Study on sustainable landscape design of abandoned quarries: An example: Zhushan ecological park in Xuzhou

With a growing concern about ecological issues nowadays, an unceasing re-greening tide of abandoned quarries is throughout the nation (China). However, with the rapid development of urbanization and the comprehensiveness of urban functions, we can’t fully realize the social, economic and cultural values of abandoned quarries by simply conducting green-mountain projects of abandoned quarries just from ecology. We takes Zhushan ecological park in Xuzhou as an example, analyzes the parkʹs ecological and landscape characteristics, refers to the projects of abandoned quarries at home and abroad, and puts forward a sustainable development strategy of a systematic design-landscape for ecosystem, economy and culture. By this means, the ecological restoration and landscape reshaping can be favorable for the ecosystem, local economy, and improvement of peopleʹs living standards and the preservation of mining culture.
