Abstract :
Ecological restoration has been coming to be an important task in China, especially in resource-exhausted areas. Landscape restoration regionalization is a necessary part of it. This paper discussed the aim and meaning of landscape restoration regionalization firstly, ascertained the process for it. Then taking the abandoned mining areas of Mentougou District (MTG) of Beijing as an example, the author partitioned the landscape restoration regions of MTG based on GIS. The suitable function of each unit was confirmed, and the landscape units and structure which need to be restored was found. In this paper, 16 landscape restoration regions were partitioned, and the restoration orientation and restoration manner were also confirmed.
