Evolution Of The Spatial Structure Morphology Of Guilin City

The urban structure morphology is the space reflection of city elements and functional organizations. It is directly related to city functions which could normal displaying and running or not.The Evolution of urban morphology is a continuous and dynamic process with the inherent rule, and is always subject to the effects of natural and non-natural forces. Natural force is always being a binding, while non-natural force is always promoting the formation and development of urban structure morphology with internal socio-economic activities, which cause the organization, the adjustment and the restructuring according to certain goal. The factors which constitute these two forces are various. The deep structure which composed by the politics and policy, the social culture , the economy and technology is the determining factor which cause this kind of evolution. They influence urban structure shape through self-adjusting mechanism and manual intervention mechanism. The former is one kind from the spontaneous evolution type process, which causes the urban morphology evolution to follow a kind of inherent rules. The latter is one kind of planning control behavior, guiding this evolution development toward the direction which established by human.The scenic layout has formed gradually through a long time. In ancient, Guilin city's structure shape had the strong intrinsic elasticity and the inertia to contain the spatial self-adjusting in such slow developing process. It made the evolution of urban structure morphology show the feature which is natural growth process and proceeding in an orderly way. Since modern times, the urban structure morphology has had the sudden change. Urban spatial expansion broke through the limit of original environment and expanded to the broader region. The function of self-adjusting mechanism is withering gradually in the process from the disorder to the order guidance developing, while the urban planning's regulative function is getting more and more prominent,is guiding the development of urban structure morphology healthily and orderly.In the future, it will be the best choice to Guilin city's development to maintain the integrity of natural ecological environment and Strengthen the humanity of urban space, realize the common evolution of the person and the nature, the urban and the environment.
