The contradiction between urban development and ecological environment protection is particularly obvious in rapidly expanding urban areas. It is necessary to build a reasonable urban ecological security pattern. to balance urban expansion and ecological security. This paper takes Zhengzhou as an example, based on spatial principal component analysis, a comprehensive assessment of urban ecological security is carried out by using natural characteristics, human characteristics, and natural and human interaction characteristics, and ecological sources are extracted; Based on the ecological corridors extracted by the minimal cumulative resistance (MCR) model, the edge-betweenness index is used to optimize the model, and redundant corridors are eliminated, the first-level ecological corridors and ecological nodes on the first-level ecological corridor are extracted. Through experiments, 25 important ecological sources, 24 first-level ecological corridors, and 32 ecological nodes were extracted. Important ecological sources, first-level ecological corridors and ecological nodes constitute the basic ecological security pattern of Zhengzhou, which effectively alleviate the contradiction between rapid urban expansion and ecological protection, and ensuring urban ecological security at the same time.
