Establishment and application of the indicator system for planning standard of ecological restoration in the general land use planning

The planning standard for ecological restoration is the basis of confirming the distribution and scale of cultivated land conversion. The present ecological restoration planning only improves the ecologic environment situations, but neglects the impacts on the food security and economy development at regional level. Based on the principles of integrated, harmonious, scientific and exercisable, the indicator system for quantifying planning standard of ecological restoration were established, and Hebei province was taken as study case. In terms of the indicator system, the targeted regions for ecological restoration were plotted out by using AHP method, and the restoration scale was confirmed by using the concept of the minimum per capita cultivated land. Results show that Hebei province can be divided into three targeted regions for ecological restoration based on the factors and integration marks, and the predicted total restoration scale is about 61.09×10⁴ hm² by the end of 2020.
