Research On The Space Environment Of Urban (Town) Pedestrian Streets In Three Gorges Reservoir Area

The traditional town of Three Gorges reservoir area, with the beautiful landscape environment, a long historical tradition , the clear personality characteristics, rich cultural accumulation and the human landscape. However, due to the construction of the Three Gorges Project, a large number of lands and urban (town) have been submerged, which then moved into a new region and began planning and construction. But the new cities were not well inherited from the context of history, result in losing many very unique visual style ,and the landscape of human history were no longer exist, so as the cities were lack of historical thickness.In view of this, the article investigates and studies the space environment of reservoir area through the traditional town streets and the space environment of modern urban pedestrian streets. Analyze and compare fit and unfit of traditional and modern pedestrian streets in the planning of the site, space layout and creating a human landscape, and use the outstanding construction methods of the traditional streets space environment into the designing of the modern pedestrian streets. As to provide a theoretical guidance for the construction and reforming and improving of the future new urban (town) moving in Three Gorges reservoir area.At first, I researched the space environment feature of traditional streets in Three Gorges reservoir area: I analyzed the effect factors to the space shape and pattern of traditional streets which are mountain geographical environment, the traditional planning concepts and the social activities. And I analyzed the features of space shape, space sequence, environment equipment and Architecture components in the streets. Second, I researched the space environment feature of modern streets in Three Gorges reservoir area: I analyzed the effect factors to planning and choosing the suitable site of modern streets which are mountain geographical environment, the modern urban planning concepts, traffic environment factors, economic and cultural factors. And I analyzed the features of space shape, space sequence, environment equipment and public activities in the streets. At last, based on analyzing in pros and cons of the construction statues of space environment in both traditional streets and modern pedestrian streets, and then, I found the principles and methods to protect and update the space environment in traditional streets. And I found out that the construction of modem urban pedestrian streets in Three Gorges reservoir area could created unique space environment with geographical characteristics, which through to fully combined the natural geographical environment, learned form the space structure pattern of traditional streets, and succeed from the historical context of the city.
