New research shows how landscape design can protect geological environments visually.
The article discusses how protecting geological landscapes is crucial for sustainable development and ecological civilization. By using GIS technology, researchers assessed the visual sensitivity of landscapes based on terrain slope, leading to the creation of a visual sensitivity classification. They integrated geological and ecological perspectives to plan architectural landscapes that protect the environment. The study found that combining architectural landscapes with geological protection enhances visual appeal and resolves conflicts between architecture and ecology. GIS calculations ranked the most visually sensitive locations, providing a scientific basis for environmental landscape protection.
