Abstract: The Chinese Planner encounter the rapid proceeding of urbanization with both the opportunities and challenges. To some extent, some of the planning documentary do fulfill the needs of the local construction and the government controlling, but the most of the others came out to be the copies of the western theories blindly, or the manipulator of the stylish concepts by the producers. Confront the pressure of the construction at a high level of velocity for about three decades, we have to choice of self-possession, in re-thinking of the foundation of the planning logics, and in rethinking of the innate characters of planning design. The author brings about the epistemological foundation of urban planning logics: the diversity with differentiation, in order to examine intrinsic needs of urban planning design jobs.

Abstract: The rapid proceeding of urbanization in China, brings about the urban planners both of the opportunities and the challenges. Many planning works copied the western theories blindly, or manipulated with the concepts stylishly. All of these blueprinting makers are still indulging in their self-delusion. These planning works could not confront the equity appeals of society groups, while the construction at a high level of velocity. We have no choice but self-possession, re-think the foundation of the logics of planning, and the innate characters of planning design jobs. The authors brings forward the epistemological foundation of urban planning logics: the Planning Justice and the Planning Impartial in discussion, aiming at rectifying the mis-direction wrongs of planning design.

Abstract: With the use of statistical methods processing the data,we measure and analysis the quantify environmental carrying capacity of Qujiang new District basing on constraints of control indicators, adjust the industrial structure and layout of their productivity, development and utilization of social and economic development goals, and resources on the development of proposed scientific, rational, innovative proposals and implement measures to prevent over-exploitation of resources and the environment, and promoting sustainable development in the region. Provide reference, help for the continued development of high-tech zones, technology parks and other areas in the southern suburbs of Xi'an, creating livable, prosperous Xi'an.

Abstract: Central Plains’ Urban Agglomeration is a modern city cluster which possess human unity and urban diversity. Through holistic consideration about the impact of pubic facilities on nature and human being and from the perspective of human needs to explore the basic connotation and principles of the central plains urban aesthetics, we aim to provide theoretical results for reference on the optimized design and layout of public facilities, harmonious city life and even the development of Central Plains Economic Zone.

Abstract: Rural settlements in Chaoshan area are of distinct regional characteristics, and one of them is the coexistence of different construction fragments of several periods of time.Based on the diachronic analysis of the development of settlement pattern in a village-level, the paper explored the counter-balance between the factors that caused or resisted the changes in settlement pattern during the process of modern development from a multi-subject perspective. With the discussion on the problems indwell in the development, the paper tried to put forward some strategic suggestions for the future development of the rural settlements.

Abstract: In the process of city development and construction, an oriented urban planning can reasonably determine the direction of the development,the population and land use structure of the city,in order to make overall arrangements and coordinate all aspects of the contradictions. Urban planning has become a necessary part in the development of the city. This paper summarizes the overall plannings of the city of Songyuan over the years, so that readers can clearly grasp the Songyuan city planning and development process and get some enlightenment.

Abstract: The article discusses the various factors affecting the efficiency of the use of land resources, which can be divided into two categories: internal and external. Selecting the project planning area of the urban area should be carried out according to the criteria of technical, economic and social feasibility.

Abstract: Space syntax was used to analyse quantificationally unapproved overall planning of Harbin in 2004 and approved overall planning of Harbin in 2011 in this paper. Comparing to global integration, local integration and spatial intelligence degree of space syntax analysis results, summarize the evolution characteristics and come to conclusion that contains law of development and prospect of Harbin center city. It can provide reference for future planning.

Abstract: With the high speed urbanization process during last two decades, city underlaying surface area and structure changed rapidly, which resulted in urban heat island effect and a series of thermal environment effect.This topic has been received widespread attention from many researchers. Among all kinds of underlaying surfaces, steel framed roof, as a kind of widely used building material, was found playing an important role on contribution to warm regional thermal environment. So it is necessary to study the relationship between steel framed roof and temperature. Based on analyzing Landsat TM image of Shijiazhuang city by remote sensing software, we found that steel framed roof can warm city environment 2-4℃, its area ratio and land surface temperature have a quadratic curve fitting with correlation of 0.7898.

Abstract: The historical districts of cities in China are in a period of reconstruction and upgrading, the systematic research on these districts soundscapes will help to considerate soundscape at urban planning and design stage. The researchers collected the soundmarks at a large urban historic districts area in Guangzhou’s "Xiguan Area ", and explored people’s perception on these soundmarks through methods of soundwalk and on-site interview. The results showed that: the local language - Cantonese, was the most important soundmark of this region; the soundmark inside the blocks was the sound of chess entertainment, as well as the production and labor sound at workshops, which were the true embodiment of the urban cultural ecology and people's lifestyles; the sound of commercial activities was another soundmark which appeared in multiple places. The corresponding urban design strategy will be put forward through analysis on the soundmarks and environmental characteristics.
