The abandon Yellow River in Xuzhou City starts from Dingjia gate to Lizhuang gate, with a total length of 16.4km. It is a natural river channel running through the main urban area of Xuzhou. Riverine landscape is an essential part of urban landscape, the overall quality of riverine landscape involved ecological quality and restorative quality, therefore, how to improve the coexistence between ecological quality and restorative quality of riverine landscape become an urgent problem to be solved.

    This research selected 10 sample sites, and quantify the ecological quality and restorative quality of each one, every site assessment include 5 trained reviewers, the standard of ecological quality reference to QBR index created by Munné, and restorative quality reference to the Self Rating Restoration Scale created by Han. The calculate the coexistence of them by a formula created based on statistical principle.  

    By date analysis and theory study, find the landscape elements of the riverine landscape and ecological quality and restorative quality of the contact mechanism. Established a strategy concentrated on improving the coexistence between ecological quality and restorative quality of riverine landscape by the perspective of design. And provides theoretical basis and practical reference for future riparian landscape design practice.
