Study on Low-Carbon Construction System of Desakota Village-and-Town Communities: Take Zhejiang Province as an Example

Abstract

In the context of urbanization, desakota villages and towns, which feature mixed land utilization, a diversified industrial structure, and “half-city and half-town”, have gradually come into being and play a big part in impacting the development of towns and villages. As the top-down policy guidance and control play a minor role, and the bottom-up construction runs out of control, various human settlement problems, such as the waste of land resources, low energy efficiency, high carbonization, and disappearing ecological livability, stand out. The core problems confronting China in the next phase concern the rational utilization of village resources and the guidance for and control over the low-carbon development of villages and towns in the future. Based on the demand for the low-carbon development of the human settlements in desakota villages and towns, the analyzed points in this article include the correlation between the carbon emission intensity and the spatial form characteristics and other related elements in Zhejiang Province. The low-carbon construction of the desakota village-and-town communities is transformed into the spatial form structure in order to gain a better understanding of the low-carbon control elements. A correlation evaluation model is established to provide the basis for the optimization and improvement of a low-carbon construction system from multiple dimensions and perspectives, thus providing a theoretical basis and practical guidance for the future low-carbon construction of desakota villages and towns.
