An Exploration into Green Land System and Unexpected Disaster Prevention in Mountain City: A Case Study of the Shapingba Downtown in Chongqing

Abstract:

The fast urbanization is incurred with an increasing frequency and variety of sudden burst of disasters, especially in the mountain city. Its complex geographical environment restrains the population evacuation and the refuge; therefore, it is of great significance to explore into the disaster prevention in the mountain city. The green land system plays a positive role in urban disaster prevention and relief. With the analysis of deficiencies facing Shapingba district of Chongqing in the use of the greening system, plus theories of the green land system and the disaster prevention, the paper discusses how to improve the urban function of disaster prevention and relief via the green land system. To be specific, the green land system can be relied on to strengthen the urban system of disaster prevention; the network-shape green land system should be improved to form appropriate disaster prevention division and level; the route of disaster prevention and refuge is referenced to reasonably allocate the urban green land; the urban public green land is increased to enlarge the refuge area; many trees are planted to work as the isolating belt of disaster prevention.
