Abstract: Based on the terrain features,we conducted the viewshed analysis by GIS along the shore highway of the Dian Lake.Then we produced vegetation restoration planning depending on vegetation types,terrain features,soil types,and the visibility,in order to improve soil conservation and landscape function.Present landscape pattern was compared with the landscape planned to recover.The results showed that the ability of soil and water conservation has improved,as well as the incrument of parchiness' aggregation and connectivity.At the landscape1evel,the general characteristics of 1andscape pattern change were that IJI and SHEI increased,whi1e SHDI and CONTAG decreased,indicating an enhanced patchiness of 1andscape.And the composition of landscape became more uniform and reasonable.Landscape aesthetic values would be improved after the vegetation restoration.
