Study on the Optimization Design of Landscape Morphology for Climatic Comfort in Rural Mountain-Forest Scenic Areas Based on the Climate-Ecological Compensation Function: A Case Study of the Western Sichuan Bamboo Sea Scenic Area, Chengdu
Main Article Content
Abstract
Global warming intensifies heat exposure in rural mountain-forest scenic areas of humid-hot regions, making landscape morphology optimization important for improving climatic comfort. Taking the Western Sichuan Bamboo Sea Scenic Area as a case, this study integrates field measurements of temperature, humidity, and wind speed with thermal-response questionnaire surveys to characterize local microclimatic conditions. Improvement directions are identified by analyzing three spatial components: impacted areas, regulation spaces, and ventilation and cold-air corridors. Based on the climateecological regulation principle, targeted strategies are proposed for different spatial types, including building-layout optimization for impacted areas, bamboo-tree intercropping for regulation spaces, and construction of a green open-space system for ventilation and cold-air corridors. These strategies are designed to regulate air temperature, humidity, and wind speed and to improve thermal comfort through a source-corridor-sink microclimate-control mechanism. The findings provide scientific support and practical guidance for climate-comfort-oriented landscape morphology design in rural settlements and mountain-forest scenic areas, and offer a reference for environmental sensing-based spatial planning in humid-hot regions.
