Evaluation of Urban Ecosystem Service Value under New Urbanization—A Case Study of Chengdu City

Abstract

In order to evaluate the change of ecosystem service value in Chengdu, GIS technology was used to obtain the land use type data of Chengdu from 2009 to 2018. The equivalent factor method was used as the core evaluation method, and an ecosystem value evaluation model was established to explore the impact of various land use types on ecosystem service value. The results show that: (1) the trend of land use change is that both the area and the proportion of land use change in different degrees. The area of cultivated land, water area and unused land are greatly reduced, and the area of construction land expands rapidly, mainly through the occupation of cultivated land and unused land. (2) The intensity of land use in Chengdu is greater and continues to increase, and the contribution rate of construction land is larger, which indicates that the land use structure is developing towards the structural direction of mainly construction land. (3) Changes in ecosystem service value are not only related to land use structure, but also to the economic development, willingness to pay and ability of the whole society. (4) Ecosystem service value is negatively correlated with construction land and unused land; it is positively correlated with cultivated land, forest land and grassland. Generally speaking, Chengdu’s land use change has not caused obvious damage to the ecosystem, but the impact of human lifestyle on the environment in the process of economic development cannot be ignored. The growth of construction land area should be appropriately controlled, ecological land should be protected, and the sustainable development of social-economic-ecological benefits should be realized.
