Characteristics and Sustainable Development & Utilization of Geological Relics in Guanzhong Basin Urban Agglomeration

Geological relics have become as an indispensable factor in the planning and development of economic zones and urban agglomerations, livable cities construction, ecological civilization, rural revitalization, poverty alleviation and the construction of geological and cultural villages. Through carrying out the special survey of geological relics in the Guanzhong Basin urban agglomeration, a total of 429 geological relics have been found, among which 146 ones are valuable. On the whole, these geological relics have various types and unique connotations, mainly including stratigraphic sections, paleotological fossils, geological landforms and water landscapes. They have extensive spatial distribution, their spatial structure type presents a condensed non-uniform distribution, and the neotectonic activities have a good consistency with the spatial distribution and changes of geomorphology, water system, quaternary sedimentation, hot springs, earthquakes and geological disasters. According to the principles of resource occurrence attribute, geological relic integrity and traffic convenience, these geological relics have been divided into 3 geological relic landscape zones, 10 geological relic landscape subzones and 22 geological relic landscape area. Aiming at the problems existing in economic zones and urban agglomerations, livable cities, ecological civilization, rural revitalization construction and geological heritage development and utilization, it is necessary to build a number of national and provincial geological parks, research bases, tourist resorts, tourist scenic spots, characteristic towns and the geological and cultural villages, forming a multi-level and diversified development and utilization and protection path.
