- Abstract:
-
To better achieve sustainable development in northern farming-pasturing interlaced areas, Tongliao City was taken as a case to discuss scientific evaluation and predict the agricultural and pastoral land use pattern which is the key issue affecting sustainable development of farming-pasturing interlaced areas. An appropriate farming-pasturing development model for promoting sustainable development in farming-pasturing interlaced areas was presented. After an analysis of the research results on sustainable development in farming-pasturing interlaced areas in China, evaluation indexes which are highly applicable in system dynamics were selected, and analytic hierarchy process was adopted to determine the weight of each index. Moreover, the model of system dynamics was operated to get simulation results of Tongliao City under different agricultural and pastoral development patterns, and the comprehensive evaluation model was used to evaluate and select the simulation results. Following conclusions are drawn. The proportional relation of the agricultural and pastoral land use is the key issue affecting sustainable development of farming-pasturing interlaced areas. For Tongliao, the ‘pasture-dominant development pattern’ is the best one for its sustainable development, but not the most suitable one in the present situation. Lastly, we also recommend that Tongliao should adopt the ‘farming-pasturing balanced development pattern’ in the short term, and the ‘pasture optimized development pattern’ in the long term. Through this research, we not only put forward a development pattern supporting sustainable development of Tongliao City, but also provides a useful theoretical basis for sustainable development of farming-pasturing interlaced areas.
