Abstract: Urbanization is the target and consequence of rapid economic development of China in the early 21st century.By now,the rapid urbanization in southern Jiangsu Province has induced both positive and negative changes in urbanrural landscapes.Based on the existing ecological cybernetics methods,and applying the concepts of landscape ecological planning,landscape ecological engineering,and landscape ecological management,this paper built a conceptual framework for the landscape ecological control in the Wujin District of Changzhou City,a representative of southern Jiangsu Province,aimed to avoid the negative changes and to ecologically optimize its urbanrural landscapes.The landscape ecological control here addressed the issues of landscape patterns,landscape ecological processes,and interactions between human activities and landscapes,while the strategy consisted of an intensive and extensive understanding of regional geographical and ecological settings,some principles and targets of landscape ecological control,five patches landscape in balance,and typical landscape ecological areas construction,including Yancheng Site Protection Area,Gehu Lake patch and Taihu Lake patch,urban green space matrix,and highway corridor network.
