Abstract: 【Objective】Due to the difficulty in management and the shortage of information resources about village landscapes in scenic areas, a rural cultural landscape database management platform based on existing databases and GIS technology was designed. The platform was designed to expand the scope of rural cultural landscape management, to enhance efficiency in rural cultural landscape management, and to extend the sharing of information about rural landscapes in scenic areas. 【Method】Using ArcGIS, WebGIS and related database technologies, spatial information about rural cultural landscapes and the landscape thematic information resources were integrated. Through the platform, rural cultural landscape information from different places and times, in forms including graphic, audio and video information, can be extracted from various information sources and standardized to construct a functional database of rural cultural landscape management in scenic areas. 【Results】 Taking Xishan Scenic Spot in Taihu Lake as an example, using the GIS-based rural cultural landscape image database and the rural cultural landscape graphic and video database, we put forward strategies for construction of database management and a service platform.【Conclusion】The database platform can provide a scientific basis for protection, rational development as well as utilization of rural cultural landscape resources, and also facilitate monitoring and evaluation, including protection, planning and other related work, and furthermore play a significant role in publicity, promotion and consultation to the public.
