The Impact of Reclamation Engineering Based on Port-city Interface: A case study of the reclamation project in east of Zhengjiao Tsui, Yantian Port, Shenzhen
Abstract
Yantian Port is one of the three major container ports in Shenzhen. In order to increase shipping berths and land resources, it is proposed to implement reclamation project in east of Zhengjiao Tsui. As the project location is close to cities and major scenic spots, it is necessary to make a profound study on Port-city Interface. According to existing research, on the theoretical basis of summarizing the main sources of port city conflicts, four impact dimensions, namely, back-up land use, collecting and distributing traffic, port landscape, and back-up land environmental influence, were selected for status analysis, planning analysis, and comparative analysis before and after reclamation, comprehensive demonstrating the reclamation planning plan. The study found that the port city relationship conflict mainly focused on the back-up land use, port landscape and back-up land environmental impact. The expansion of the port would increase the demand for back-up land, which was difficult to be met under the current planning conditions. The reclamation project also would increase the length of the visible port shoreline, which was not in harmony with the natural coastal landscape, seen from Dameisha Scenic Area. The increase of port throughput would lead to the increase of collection and distribution traffic volume. Although the traffic planning could basically meet the demand of traffic volume, the harmful gas pollution caused by traffic would increase to a certain extent. Therefore, three suggestions were put forward. First, it should further improve the efficiency of port operation, storage and transit, and the intensive level of back-up land use, meanwhile accelerate the construction of inland ports. The second is to further carry out urban design, focusing on the landscape shaping of the port business landscape area. The third is to improve environmental protection technology, install environmental protection equipment, make vehicle exhaust cleaner, and strengthen environmental protection supervision on exhaust emissions.
