The work presented in this paper demonstrates housing development as an application of ecological engineering on streamside. The study site consists of terrestrial, riverbank and aquatic zones, on which their correlation and effects were investigated. Interdisciplinary methods involving ecology, hydrology, environment and landscape were applied to achieve maximum benefits for humans and nature. A technical scheme for housing development was established and organized as a hierarchy structure, i.e. determination of problems, establishment of goals, designation of functions, production of plan, and development of designs. The designs and implementation of housing and land consisted of riverbank restoration, vegetation replanting, rainwater purification and landscape protection. Ecological benefit was to be the core of the housing project with consideration of social and economic benefits. |
