Study on Practice Framework and Evaluation Indicator System of Landsense Design for the Enhancement of Cultural Ecosystem Services in Historical Blocks

Highlights

	● Inventories landsense elements and cultural ecosystem service types of historical blocks and explores their interrelations
	● Develops a landsense design practice framework and evaluation indicator system for cultural ecosystem service enhancement in historical blocks
	● Elaborates on the contents of each evaluation indicator of landsense design by demonstrating the case study of Three-Lanes and Seven-Alleys Block in Fuzhou, and proposes landsense creation strategies according to the practice framework

Abstract

As important cultural service providers in urban ecosystems, historical blocks play a crucial role in ensuring the well-being of multiple stakeholders during the urban renewal process. Based on theories of Landsenses Ecology and literature review, this study systematically examined the landsense elements of historical blocks and their related cultural ecosystem services (CES) by proposing a landsense design practice framework for CES enhancement and further constructing a landsense evaluation indicator system. Using the Three-Lanes and Seven-Alleys Block in Fuzhou, China as a case study, this research analyzed the status quo and existing problems of the block according to the evaluation indicator system, and then proposed suggestions for landsense creation to enhance, preserve, and improve CES of the block. Finally, it qualitatively elaborated the evaluation indicators upon the practice framework of landsense design. This study provides an essential theoretical foundation and evaluation basis for enhancing CES in historical blocks from a perspective of multi-dimensional perceptions.
