An Elicitation from the Construction of Dam on the Inlet of Sea for the Urban Planning and Urban Construction

Abstract:

Urban planning and urban construction are two important aspects during the urbanization process. Dam, one of the common projects in urban planning and urban construction, has induced more and more interest by far. Negative ecological effect was the mainly view on the dam construction. Does all the plans and constructions of dam were destructive to ecosystem In order to answer this question, a dam on the inlet of sea in Dongchong, Shenzhen City, China was chosen, field investigation and remote sensing analysis were carried out. Present study aims to test if the planning and construction of dam on the inlet of sea is beneficial to the mangrove ecosystem. Results showed that the planning and construction of dam on the inlet of sea had brought an environment hospitable to mangroves and increased the distribution area of mangrove ecosystem. Results indicated that the planning and construction of dam on the inlet of sea was beneficial to the mangrove ecosystem and not all the planning and constructions of dam were disadvantage to ecosystem. This study may contribute to knowledge of how to maximize favorable factors on the ecosystem in the future urban planning and urban construction.
