Abstract
The integration and optimization of nature reserves is an important part of the new round of land and space planning, and it is also an important part of building a system of nature reserves with national parks as the main body. This article takes Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, which has many nature reserves and relatively complex conditions as an example, to summarize and study the technical and operational issues involved in the integration and optimization of 30 different types of nature reserves, natural parks and scenic spots in the region. We propose an integration and optimization plan that fits the region, focusing on the treatment of the overlapping and distributed residential land, basic farmland, and major construction projects of each protected area, and provide reasonable suggestions for the integration and optimization of the construction of natural reserves with Chinese characteristics.
Highlights
There are a total of 25 major transportation construction projects at the national, provincial and state levels in the nature reserves in Gannan Prefecture
The area of nature reserves is not preset, functional zoning is simplified, differentiated management and control measures are adopted, and transition periods are set for the gradual withdrawal of ecological relocation, permanent basic farmland, towns and villages, and mining rights, and strengthen the protection of property rights in accordance with the law and advance steadily
In the overlapping areas of nature reserves, comprehensive consideration is given to the protection level, protection objects, protection intensity, historical evolution, management level, etc., and only one protection area is retained through integration to achieve "a set of institutions, a name, and a brand"
