This paper discusses conservation of heritage corridor based on a case study on historic towns along Beijing-Tianjin section of the Grand Canal. Through fieldwork in more than ten towns and districts, the author finds out that material remains in the ancient towns are very rich, diverse cultures have close relation to the canal and the natural environment is so important to the sustainable development of this area. The paper points out that the ancient remains have significant historic and cultural value and the Grand Canal implies great ecological value. It stresses on authenticity and integrity in heritage conservation and proposes the combination of heritage conservation and ecological protection.

The Grand Canal is the Chinese civilization landmark works, regrettably part of the Canal has been under mananged by poly-department but inefficiently for years. This paper analysed the Canals nature and cultural value; based upon investigation of the status quo, searched the unavoidable conflicts between water administration, engineering administration and cultural heritage protection in future, because of distinct management objectives; indicates the necessity to establish comprehensive regulations to protect and utilize ancient water project in use. This paper itemized typical cases and advanced experience at home and abroad, and then suggests completing and innovating the management of water projects of the Grand Canal.

On the basis the development transition of Hangzhou, this paper illustrates the industrial building resources in Hangzhou section based on the summary of practice pattern of domestic and foreign industrial heritage. It summarizes the typical kernel space feature of industrial heritage in Hangzhou section of the Grand Canal. Finally, the space reconstruction strategy of industrial heritage along the canal is proposed from the aspects of heritage patch, corridor, matrix trying to break the relatively isolated situation of the industrial heritage patches and urban matrix space.

Coordinating the relationship between economic development and ecological protection, a series of complex tests have been given to many governments,especialy in ecotone. taking Dalate County for example, the ecological characteristics and the situation economic development are evaluated by an improved ecological footprint model, which is based on emergy analysis theory and ecosystem service function model. The calculating results indicate that the ecological footprint of Dalate County is 3.9×106hm2 in total annualy, the actual output ecological capacity is 2.04×106hm2. There is a huge gap between ecological footprint and ecological capacity. The total ecosystem services value is 1.01×1010 CNY•a. And among all types land, woodland contributes the greatest, which is 4.19×109 CNY•a. Among all kinds service, regulation service take the largest proportion, which value is 5.53×109 CNY•a. Those results can be used to guide ecological protection and economic development in ecotones, like Dalate County in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

With the continuous expansion of urban construction land, the green belts aiming for ecological protection have ensured a sustainable and effective function of regional ecosystem services. At the same time, these ecological green belts are expected to develop their compound service potentials with the development of cities. In order to meet the increasing demand of urban residents for the recreational utilization of urban green space, the primary function of the ecological green belts has transformed from being purely ecological to a combination of being ecological and recreational. Based on social media data, which has the characteristics of a large amount of accessible geographic information, this study used multiple regression models to analyze the recreational utilization intensity of ecological protection green belts with a case study in the green belt of Shanghai, China. The research results showed that the internal elements (total external area, water area, etc.) of the Shanghai green belt have positive correlations with its recreational utilization. The impact of external factors was inconclusive on the recreational utilization of the outer forest belt (the number of subway stations in accessibility factors was negatively correlated; the number of cultural facilities and the number of restaurants in the surrounding service facilities were positively related). Combined with the “Shanghai City Master Plan (2017–2035)”, this study suggests potential zones for the recreational transformation of the Shanghai green belt, provides a theoretical and practical basis for improving the recreational utilization of an urban ecological protection green belt and contributes to the sustainable development of ecological protection green belts in high-density cities.

Selection of the architectural heritage (AH) for conservation considers many dimensions and parameters, which is a multitasking process. Many parameters can be valued directly, while others indirectly. The process of evaluation should be robust for all decision-makers. As such, the multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) process seems apt. This research evaluates various MCDM methods using Odishan temple architecture as the case study. Five dimensions as architectural and aesthetic value, economic value, environmental and ecological value, historical value, and socio-cultural value have been identified. The selected MCDM methods are weighted sum method, weighted product method, weighted aggregated sum product assessment, evaluation based on distance from average solutions, techniques for the order of preference by similarity to ideal solutions, additive ratio assessment, complex proportional assessment, combinative distance-based assessment, and VIKOR. This study compares different MCDA methods for the best AH using different dimensions.
