Abstract: Northwestern China is situated at the semi-arid climatic zone with a fragile eco-environmental condition. Natural landscape in this region has been largely impacted by development cities, and also has great contribution to culture implications of cities. At present, the way of urbanization, which emphases more on economic development rather than ecological protection, has jeopardized the natural landscape and environmental resources relied for survival by cities, and cities in Western China are facing even serious challenges of environmental degradation during rapid urbanization process. Green infrastructures of cities are guarantee of its citizens to get access to ecological services, and construction of green infrastructure is the major ecological counter measures for dealing with negative environmental impacts led by rapid urbanization, based on protecting environmental resources, ameliorating ecological process, and rebuilding natural landscape. Taken Xian as an example, it reviewed the construction of riparian wetland, which is one of the major components of green infrastructure in Xian. This research provided the methodology for riparian landscape constructing based on ecological and cultural characteristics of riparian landscape.

Abstract: In the design and practice of landscape, the higher cost in landscape design often causes much more landscape resource waste, ignores the economic benefits of landscape and destroys its aesthetic sense. Through analyzing the relation between landscape and economy and introducing a set of concepts, planning, purchasing, manufacturing, marketing and service. In this article, we apply the theory of "supply chain management, SCM " in economics into the landscape design and its practice. To make the management more scientific, accurate, reasonable and efficient, we must keep two principles , reducing and controlling the cost and increasing its efficiency of landscape design and its practice. Also we may realize the organic coordination of the whole economic activities by this way.

Study on quantitative evaluation and analysis of the impact of mountain landscape damage in Ji'nan City. Comparison and validation of the actual and damaged mountain governance work can verify the display of influence, and quantitative index for damage control plan, and ordered rectification, and the mine recovery, and treatment effect what was analyzed, and the improvement of the ecological environment analysis, and vegetation growth situation analysis vegetation ecological suitability assessment. It can provide scientific basis. Through calculation and analysis, 148 damaged mountain Ji'nan city the three districts and one line visual range, landscape effect degree very serious was 111, accounted for 75%, and severe in 31, accounting for 21%, and the general point of 3, 2%, and lighter point 3 that accounted for 2%. The evaluation results accord with the actual situation of Ji'nan, and it shows that the method for landscape evaluation is applicable.
