Xincheng as case study. First, analyzing and assessing the environmental impact of quarry and surrounding environment caused by extraction activities. Learning from domestic and international quarries ecological restoration, landscape reclamation planning and design strategies, as well as related restoration, rehabilitation techniques, reference to the identity of quarry and differences of surrounding landscape resources conditions. Depending on the restoration and maintenance of sustainable landscape ecology, also referring to landscape reclamation, ecological restoration and creativities of landscape art, the overall landscape ecological restoration and reclamation planning design strategy, as well as operating management recommendations are proposed to the future sustainable management principles and reference of landscape resources conservation of Hualien Xincheng quarry area.
