Abstract As the natural boundary of oceanic landscape and terrestrial landscape,coastal landscape is a system of distinct characteristcs. It is especially important to maintain the ecological entirety of the coastal landscape. At the same time,as the region human beings long have exploited and in which the mankind-environment relationship are close,also with radical exchanges of matter and energy,the coastal landscapes are highly sensitive to the power of the immanent and extrinsic coupling.The coastal area of Fujian Province has rapid growing economy,and its landscape ecological construction plays an important role in the sustainable and stable economy development of our country's coastal area. The coastal landscape is one of the major elements for Fujian tourism production and the mainstay of its development, yet recently the destruction of the tourism resources have become a severe problem,for example,the construction of some tourism establishments greatly damaged the beach and the shelter-forest, as well as some reefs. So it is urgent to find out how to protect the coastal landscapes while they are exploited as tourism resources.
It's still a weak academic field in China about applying the principles of landscape ecology to research on the exploitation of coastal landscape. There are still no explicit definitions of the coastal landscape and still la ck perfect classification. Mankind-induced change of the landscape is seldom discussed and the research was confined to the exploitation of the coastal landscape. The selection of indexes on the effects caused by mankind is not emphasized. Based on the analysis of the classification and the characteristic generalization and probed into the sustainable pattern of coastal landscape, the paper try to build up a steady landscape pattern of Fujian Province. In a conclusion that fortify harmony of the whole landscape pattern, consolidate the basis of steady landscape pattern, and construct the comfortable coastal landscape environment in Fujian Province will help to achieve the aim of protective exploitation.
