Some related researches on the concept of eco-city indicate that the eco-city built on ecology fundamental is a compound system, which is harmonious in nature, effective in economy, and justicial in the society.So it is very necessary to construct the eco-city under the direction of landscape ecology.A set of suggestions for the construction of eco-city based on the landscape ecology theory is proposed.In the aspect of eco-construction, multiple development is emphasized, such as building network style greenbelt development system, developing the green centre with around groups network model spatial structure model with consideration of fully utilizing the local plants.In the aspect of society and culture, a layered construction, that is green family, green district, green community, and green society, is advocated with the breakthrough from the point of green community.In the aspect of economy, the character of each kind of landscape and its development trends is fully considered, and the coupling of ecology, culture and economy is emphasized.This set of suggestions is proposed utilizing the fundamental and methodology of landscape ecology, with combination of the construction principles for eco-city.The landscape ecological characters are also carefully considered.
