Analysis of green infrastructure network (GIN) based on morphological spatial-temporal pattern analysis (MSTPA): A case study of Shijingshan district in Beijing

Abstract

Abstract Rapid urbanization results in habitat fragmentation. GIN analysis provides an objective basis for the complete construction of ecological networks. Although there is currently no uniform standard for GIN analysis, this study found that the core region and the connectivity between the core became two key elements of GIN analysis. By analyzing the morphological recognition of GIN, Morphological Spatial Pattern Analysis (MSPA) is targeted in the core area and connectivity analysis, so it has become the mainstream of GIN analysis methods. At the same time, this study finds that there are commonalities in MSPA analysis methods of different scholars. However, it should be noted that GIN analysis by MSPA method in China has two main research gaps: First, it lacks attention to the space scale of urban administrative district level; Second, there is a lack of research on GIN that considers time as a factor. In order to fill these two research gaps, the Shijingshan District of Beijing was selected as the research site to conduct GIN analysis based on Morphological Spatial-Temporal Pattern Analysis (MSTPA). At the same time, the analysis method and data of this study can provide a reference for future scholars to carry out the same type of research.
