| We set up an integrated indicator system of rural settlement’s consolidation zoning in Changshou District of Chongqing, an
representative area in Three Gorges Reservoir Area of China. This integrated indicator system consists of three subsystems: natural environment, society-economy, and land status. The indicators’weights are determined by analytic hierarchy process (AHP). And then,rural settlement in Changshou has been divided into three main consolidation zones according to each town’s comprehensive evaluation index. The zones include Ⅰ-level optimized consolidation area, Ⅱ-level emphasized consolidation area, and Ⅲ-level prioritized consolidation area. Combined with different consolidation zones’characteristics, we discuss three intensive land use pattern of rural settlement, including the type of community immigration, the type of urban -rural harmony, and the type of scattered immigration,respectively. Three consolidation zones should take the differential models: （1）Ⅰ-level optimized consolidation area: it should adopt the intensive land use pattern of scattered immigration; (2)Ⅱ-level emphasized consolidation area: it is suited to choose the intensive land use pattern of urban-rural harmony; (3)Ⅲ-level prioritized consolidation area: the intensive land use pattern of community immigration should be selected. According to the intensive land use patterns, we built three rural migrant residential technology demonstration projects in Changshou District, which involved the type of community immigration, the type of urban-rural harmony, and the type of scattered immigration. The demonstration projects improved the level of land saving and intensive use by settlement’s consolidation and peasant’s unity residence. |
