Abstract

As the natural environment becomes growingly deteriorated, environmental protection becomes a global common concern. Landscape architecture (LA) is concerned about the relationship among humans, the built, and natural environments, so it is of special significance to study corporate social responsibilities (CSR) of LA firms. This paper studied CSR of LA firms from the perspective of landscape architects, i.e., this paper explored LA design based on corporate social responsibilities. CSR of LA firms was classified into economic responsibilities and green responsibilities, so this paper studied LA design based on economic responsibilities and green responsibilities respectively. This paper contributes to the existing study of LA design by innovatively adding corporate social responsibilities into the LA design philosophies.

Summary

Introduction

With the rapid economic development, eco-environmental problems such as resource shortage, global warming, urban heat island effect, and ecological pollution occur frequently. Under this background, environmental protection becomes a global common concern, and a good ecological environment becomes the basic conditions and common demands for the economic and social development of all countries, so green development and protection of the eco-environment become the common objective for all countries. Landscape architecture (hereinafter abbreviated as LA) deals with the relationship among humans, the built and natural environments, so it plays an especially important role in protecting the eco-environment and facilitating green development in ways such as improving human living spaces, saving energies, enriching biodiversity, and preserving historic and cultural relics. Landscape architects are assumed to take active initiative to help the firm they serve to perform its social responsibilities through the LA design
