Highway Landscape Planning Based on “3S” Technologies—Taking the Sichuan-Tibet Highway (Kanding Section) as an Example

With the implementation of promoting ecological civilization and green transportation construction process, the importance of highway landscape is increasingly recognized and more sustainable and innovative approaches are needed for planning and managing landscapes in China. Based on 3S techniques (Remote Sensing, Geography Information Systems, Global Positioning System), the study proposes a transdisciplinary method combines remote sensing interpretation, field reconnaissance and spatial analysis to delimit the range of visibility for highway and identify landscape resources in Sichuan-Tibet Highway. The authors also develop a landscape assessment by partitioning the highway landscape and discuss some planning solution to configure the networks of highway landscape and optimize the geographical layout of tourism facilities. The authors believe that this method proposed in this case can effectively assist highway landscape planning and will contribute to the formation of the tourism synthesis with Sichuan-Tibet highway as development axis and social, economic and ecological construction of Kangding in east Tibet Plateau.
