ABSTRACT

China’s Grand Canal is a World Cultural Heritage Site, representing the achievements of Oriental Civilization in the field of water conservation technology and management. However, with accelerating urbanization, the environment of the Grand Canal has been suffering severe environmental problems. In particular, there are obvious deficiencies in domestic waste management and disposal. This study took the Xianghe Segment of China’s Grand Canal as a case study for research into domestic waste disposal planning, in which the collection, transportation and disposal of domestic wastes were determined based on principles of landsenses ecology to improve human senses, including the sense of smell, vision and beauty. The scale and layout of domestic waste transfer and disposal facilities were also comprehensively discussed to improve regional ecological security and attune human senses to the surrounding environment. Such measures could promote the reduction, treatment and utilization of domestic wastes. This type of planning would promote the sustainable development of Xianghe Segment, and provide useful support for building an ecological system in the Grand Canal.
