Expressway has a deep, irreversible influence on the ecological environment. Through assessment and evaluation on several expressways in the territory of China, this paper shows that the main source of air pollution caused by expressway is motor vehicle exhaust and dominated by lead pollution; noise pollution caused by expressway is mainly traffic pollution along the road during operation. However, the noise pollution is seriously overweight; the construction and operation of expressway has an impact on water environment, water and soil conservation and living environment for animals and plants. At the same time, the closure of expressway operation has impeditive functions to residents living along the road.

The tourism resource of Sichuan traditional rural fair doesn’t only inherit the thousands years’ classical custom of Bashu, but also integrate the construction styles of Northern part and Southern part of China. In the continuous development, the traditional rural fair has absorbed the different cultures of multi-nation and different places in it. However, under the grand situation of the rapid development of our country, the old town, which was formed long ago, has encountered the problems of regional decline, slow development, incomplete function and over-exploitation. The ancient buildings have been on the verge of disappearance. What’s more, the deteriorated ecological environment, the worsened living environment, the incomplete public service infrastructures, the contradictions of the road against the modern transportation means and the other problems have tortured the old town seriously. From the fundamental meaning of old town’s development, the upgrade, reconstruction and final rejuvenation have become necessary.

Steady Growth

В современных городах отмечается устойчивый рост автомобильного транспорта, что служит условием формирования акустического дискомфорта и причиной появления некоторых экологически обусловленных заболеваний у населения. Приведено описание методики натурных экспериментов по измерению уровня шума в городской среде в различных условиях. Проведена оценка уровня автотранспортного шума в зависимости от расстояния между первой полосой движения и жилой застройкой. Исследовано влияние шума на условия среды обитания в жилых помещениях при открытых и закрытых створках окон, а также в режиме проветривания в дневное и вечернее время суток. Установлена экспериментальная зависимость эквивалентного уровня автотранспортного шума от этажности жилых зданий. In modern cities there is a steady growth of road transport, which serves as a condition for formation of the acoustic discomfort that leads to the emergence of some environmentally caused diseases. The article describes the methodology of field experiments for measuring noise level in an urban environment under various conditions. The level of motor vehicle noise was assessed depending on the distance between the first traffic lane and residential buildings. The influence of noise on the living environment conditions in residential premises with open and closed windows, as well as in the mode of ventilation both in the day and evening time. As well we established the experimental dependence of the equivalent level of motor vehicle noise on the number of floors of residential buildings.

Some types of air pollutants from motor vehicle exhaust gases are carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx), hydrocarbons (HC), and others. The increase in the number of motorized vehicles will have a direct impact on the increasing concentration of CO exhaust emissions in the air. This study aims to determine the level of CO gas in the air on the road in Ambon City. The type of research used is descriptive. The sampling location was on the road of Jenderal Sudirman which is one of the main roads in Ambon City which often experiences congestion due to the dense flow of motorized vehicles, especially during the daytime. Measuring CO was done at one point with measurements twice with the duration of sampling for one hour. The results of the examination of CO levels in the air showed that CO levels were low in the morning at 5750 µg / Nm3. While CO levels during the day increased to 8900 µg / Nm3. Based on the results of measurements of CO levels on Jalan Jenderal Sudirman, Sirimau District, Ambon City, it was stated that they met the requirements based on Government Regulation No. 41 of 1999 CO levels in the air with a duration of measurement for 1 hour, amounting <30,000 µg / Nm3. From the results of the research conducted suggested that one of them is the Department of Hygiene and Parks can carry out reforestation in the area of ​​the road body to maintain CO levels that do not pass through the predetermined of  Maximum Allowable Concentration (MAC).   Keywords: CO levels, air quality, air quality in Ambon City

With the rapid development of economy in China, there has been a growth in motor vehicles, deteriorating the traffic pollution of roads year by year. The gas pollution, which mainly comes from complete and incomplete combustion of the fuel, includes CO, SO2, NOx, CO2, and VOC. Al, Ca, Fe and Mg and other non-enriched elements in the atmospheric particle originates from the road dust carried by the motor vehicle at the traffic junctions; the noise pollution emerges from the engine and tire friction. The primary methods applied worldwide covers MOBILE, OSPM and MVMS. For the noise pollution, FHWA and RLS90 are used. The roadside landscaping can absorb emissions, accumulate the heavy metal and reduce the dust and noise, which is an effective way to beautify the environment and prevent the pollution.

Green space system planning is the most direct method to improve urban ecological environment from the perspective of planning. However, traditional way of green space system planning exposes its limitation of paying attention to only urban area, accompanied by the prominent appeal for the enhancement of urban ecological environment and living environment quality. Therefore, the study gives a preliminary discussion on the method of green spaces system planning based on GI theory by introducing the concept and characteristic of GI, and proposes urban-rural integrated green space environment formed by the organic combination of Hubs, Links, and Sites and an urban green space system able to keep the integrality and consecutiveness of natural ecological process, which offers reference for green space system planning of the new era.

Underdeveloped rural areas have good but very vulnerable ecological environment, so the environment protection should be given priority in new rural construction. Based on the problems that rural areas have faced in ecological environment, some thoughts are given in this paper on ecological and environmental: ①To solve the conflicts between the development of rural economy and ecological environment protection, the development of eco-industry can be a key solution. ② For the point that people of underdeveloped areas live in scattered and small scale groups, which leads to difficulty in facility arrangements, some proposals are put forward on the construction of living environment in underdeveloped new rural areas.

Wildlife Populations

Over the past five years, there has been an abundance of interest concerning the ecological effects of major Ontario highways on the habitats and ecosystems of many wildlife populations. The primary concern with multilane, high-traffic freeways is that they typically divide existing habitats into relatively isolated zones. Consequently, this separates individuals within a population from other members of the same population, and also excludes access to many natural resources. The majority of the resultant issues for wildlife fall under three main categories; the collision based mortalities of organisms and the consequences on local residents, the halting of gene flow amongst the wildlife populations, and the physical intrusion and/or noise pollution adversely affecting the quality of habitat for local species. Based on these concerning issues, it is crucial for a sustainable solution to be developed and implemented in appropriate areas within Kingston and the surrounding Frontenac County. Our approach involves an extensive literature review, which will assist us in observing similar problems around the globe, as well as various solutions that have been executed to fix these said problems. Furthermore, we will conduct a thorough investigation of local organizations’ existing studies to obtain relevant data and statistics which will assist us in determining the effects high-traffic freeways have on the surrounding ecological environment. It is through this research that we hope to present valid findings on the multilane highways impact to local ecosystems and landscapes, as well as produce possible planning options for intervention and suggest key areas for further examination.
