The research characterizes and classifies the study areas to show both the landscape ecological structure and the function that affects ecological service to the surrounding community and understanding into the relationship between study area and human utilization. The research makes proposals concerning area study and analyzes the landscape both in terms of structure and function, which is the first step in planning and managing the landscape. These can also act as a framework or guide for this kind of research in other areas.
