The Research Of River Slow Traffic System Plan In Fuzhou

The development of urban must have brought some risks of uneven land-use. As the cite is expanding, the green areas face with the risk of declining. However, the greenways, which have the ecological, economic, and social benefits, can help to solve this problem. Being an important part of greenways, the planning of slow traffic system gets more and more attention nowadays. For example, the Fuzhou City focused on the characters of river networks and pay much attention to the research of river slow traffic system as promoting and planning the greenway.This study was aimed to understand the basic concept and theory of the planning of river slow traffic system, the main content included confirming the objectives of planning, summarizing the planning factors, analyzing the influencing factors and conclusion of the planning standards. This research studied the cases in Fuzhou City, and the results are as follows:(1)This study summarized the researches of planning greenways both in China and abroad. The greenways do a lot in improving the urban environment. Greenways can connect and integrate the function of the slow traffic system, riverside leisure space, urban open space and landmark space. After realizing the relationship of river slow traffic system and greenways, the ecological and social meaning of river in greenway planning have being emphasized increasingly. With great amount of natural and cultural resources distributed along rivers, the river slow traffic system become an important part of urban green networks.(2)This study helped maturing the research of river slow traffic system by studying some relevant theories and to discuss the concept, characteristics, classification and function of river slow traffic system clearly.(3)We studied the planning of river slow traffic system from four aspects: the planning objectives, the planning factors, the influencing factors and the planning strategy. The planning factors can be divided to13items under three parts:slow traffic networks, slow traffic landscape, and slow traffic facilities. The factors that influence the slow traffic system can be discussed from four aspects:the characters of users, the environment, the constitution of slow traffic system, and the urban condition. The planning standards gave the guideline of river slow traffic system from greenway, field and facilities aspects.(4)This study investigated, analyzed and compared the cases of White-horse River, An’tai River, Jin ’an River and Guang-ming-gang park slow traffic systems and Min River slow traffic systems respectively. The planning of slow traffic system can be used in research by investigating the slow traffic site, user, and greenway. Furthermore, the conclusion can be applied to the study of Fuzhou City.
