Discussion on Land Use Based on Landslide Management in Three Gorges Reservoir Areas

Abstract

On the basis of the analysis of historic landslide hazard impacts to local society and economy, disaster land status quo, and features in the Three Gorges area several technological methods, structural measures, and social and ecological mitigation measures have been implemented for the Xintan landslide disaster. The Xintan landslide is a typical landslide in the area and is used as an example for the general treatment methods of landslide reclamation and engineering in the Three Gorges Reservoir area. These methodologies can be applied in land treatment projects which are about to be put into place in other areas on a large scale. These methods have great potential to significantly ease the tension between people and land issues, will help to promote the successful outcome of the construction of the Three Gorges Project, and will solve the migration and settlement problems of the displaced people who have become migrants, as a result of being relocated from their lands. These methods can solve the sustainable development problems of the social economy in the Three Gorges Reservoir areas.
