Analysis of Green Infrastructure Network Pattern Change in Zhengzhou Central City Based on Morphological Spatial Pattern Analysis

Abstract

Green infrastructure is generally regarded as an effective way to maintain regional ecological security, and its construction method plays an essential role in its function realization. In this study, the central urban area of Zhengzhou was taken as the research area. The land use type maps of the study area were obtained through the supervised classification of TM/ETM Remote sensing image data in 2007, 2011, 2015, and 2019. The Green Infrastructure (GI) in the study area was obtained by Morphological Spatial Pattern Analysis (MSPA) based on the landscape connectivity index and landscape map theory. The landscape connectivity of the core area was classified and quantitatively evaluated. Then, the potential ecological corridors were extracted and analyzed. The GI pattern change research based on MSPA, landscape connectivity, and map theory provided a new framework for analyzing GI pattern change. Finally, the spatial structure of green infrastructure planning in Zhengzhou central city is obtained, and the optimization strategy of network structure is proposed. The research results can provide references for the planning and optimization of GI networks in the study area and have particular reference significance for the planning and construction of GI networks in other areas.
