Ecosystem Services Integrated Urban and Rural Land Use Planning:Conceptual Framework and Practical Approach

By adjusting the ecological pattern and process, there are significant impacts of land use change on ecosystem services, which may result in profound influence on human well-being. Faced with the ignorance of trade-off between supply and demand of ecosystem service, we have attempted to incorporate ecosystem services into legal planning system, in four aspects of land-use planning analysis combined with recognition and quantification of ecosystem services, land-use planning process integrated with the trade-offs and synergies of ecosystem service, public participation mechanism associated with social network, effective implementation guidance of planning policy, after discussing about the interaction between ecosystem services and land-use planning. Lastly, we propose practical approaches in different scales through incorporation of ecosystem services and traditional planning
