Abstract:Scenic areas are valuable land resources in our country, with both rare scenic resources and an advantageous geographical location. At the same time, they are often faced with many contradictions between the protection and utilization of the landscape background and the surrounding land, especially the disconnection between landscape evaluation and land use. In this paper, aiming at the problem of disjunction between scenic spot evaluation and land use at present, taking Shihu Scenic Area, a famous scenic spot in the Taihu Lake, as an example, the linkage between scenic spot evaluation and the using of land, as well as the relationship between them, is studied. Through the linkage mode of “transmission, feedback and optimization”, provide strategies for scientifically planning the layout of scenic spots, optimizing the background of scenic source and the land use around scenic source, and strengthen the scientificity of land protection and utilization in the scenic spot, so as to realize the rational construction of the background of scenic source and the surrounding land and the sustainable use of land in the scenic spot, and provide theoretical support and new research perspectives for the land use of ecological functional areas such as other scenic spots and nature reserves.
