Nomadic Settlements To Herdsmen Settlement-Study On The Reconstruction Of Prairie Human Settlement Environment From The Perspective Of Ecological Restoration

Inner Mongolia herdsmen have been living in grasslands for ages,inheriting ance stral cultural and maintaining their unique production methods and lifestyle.They hav elived and grazed along the river and grass.However,with the introduction of a series of pastures and livestock management policies,some prairie have implemented the" cl osed limit animal husbandry" policy and has entered a period of natura"1 recovery.In the vast grasslands and pastoral areas,pastoralists changed from nomadic to"fixed grazing",the pressure of grassland animal husbandry increases as well.Family pasture has become the key of grassland ecological protection.The size and distribution of herdsmen changes as the changes in the way of animal husbandry,which affect the ecological carrying capacity of pastures.From the perspective of systematic,this dissertation takes the prairie settlement e cosystem in central region of Inner Mongolia grassland as research object.Following t he main line of grassland(familypasture)ecological restoration and combining with the current constructions of grassland sustainable living environment,this dissertation stu dies the following questions from the backgrounds of architecture,urban planning dis cipline and theories such as ecology,sociology,Mongolian folklore,human geograph y,cultural anthropology:(1)Studying the formation background of nomadic and the formation process of settled husbandry in order to reveal the changes of ecological environment during the whole processes.(2)Investigating the nature of nomadic settlement and revealing the formation and evolution of the prairie settlement from three aspects of residential building construction,settlement and sacrifice unit,trying to reveal the scientific connotation of the ecological implication.(3)Analyzing the ecological characteristics of grassland settlement,and the compositions and properties of major factors,cultural factors,environmental factors are also studied in order to explore the degradation characterization and content of pastoral grassland ecological and make further reveal of the mechanism of pastoral grassland ecological degradation.A restoration route of prairie grassland ecosystem has been provided under the settlement ecological view,which can be summarized as"a main line,two contexts and three levels".Constructing the ecological view of herdsmen.(4)Studying the settled pasture living environment and delivering a composition research towards the current situation of grassland herdsman settled unit from macro,meso and micro levels through field research,surveys and other methods.And taking researches on the ecological pattern of grassland herdsmen and the ecological design strategy of household unit.It is of great ecological,social and national significance to study the settlement r econstruction from the perspective of prairie ecological recovery.This dissertation ha s construct a scientific theory system of prairie settlement from the perspective of ecol ogical restoration.
