Advancing Urban Health and Sustainability: Biotechnological Innovations in Integrating Ecological Culture into Urban Planning

Abstract

This study focuses on incorporating ecological culture into urban planning by establishing a relevant scale and spatial framework using high and low ecological culture values. We develop an evaluation system for urban planning that integrates ecological cultural dimensions, ensuring a robust framework for sustainable development. In the context of promoting human health within urban communities, our research includes a detailed evaluation of urban greenway planning influenced by ecological culture, using Shanghai as a case study. Data were collected through questionnaires, and their validity and reliability were rigorously tested using statistical analysis software. The findings reveal distinct preferences and satisfactions among users of greenway No.1 in Shanghai, with a satisfaction evaluation value of 0.451 for its ecological and humanistic landscape. High scores were noted for landscape and green plant landscape, whereas lower scores were observed for regional cultural characteristics and the principles of harmony and consistency. Further, the study examines the ecological effects of urban planning, showing significant correlations between arable land, carbon stock, and various ecological land uses across different periods, highlighting their impact on restoring ecological service functions. This research contributes to the technical system of planning and management based on ecological culture and offers a model for enhancing ecological protection and management in urban planning settings.
