Due to the homogeneous natural resources, integrated environmental function, similar industrial structure and development history, as well as the same origin of social culture, natural and economical factors in Dongting Lake area are spatially dependent. Based on the analysis of these specific factors, we proposed an economical and social development mode for Dongting Lake area and evaluated its feasibility by considering the optimism of industrial structure, spatial organization, and integrated economical construction. The results shows that, we should firstly focus on developing forest, livestock, aquaculture, farm product processing, specific tourism and transportation and logistics while continue ensuring the production of high quality oil and consolidating traditional industrials; secondly utilizing the ‘three point and three line’ development model and forming a ‘mountainous pattern of space’ by settling Yueyang, Changde, and Yiyang as three development center, that is, developing heavy industry and tourism in east Dongting Lake area, efficient agricultural production and farm product processing in south western Dongting Lake area, and building flood resistant belt in central Dongting Lake and; lastly integrating flood control and reduction, spatial pattern construction, and market construction as a whole.
