Design Strategy of Rebuilding Mining Area Scenic Spot under the Symbiosis Mode of “Ecology-Education”

Since the new era in China, the long-term traditional rural development path, characterized by the “pollute first, treat later” model, has proven insufficient to meet the needs of sustainable development. The growing contradiction between rural economic development and ecological environmental degradation urgently needs to be addressed. Under the guidance of the Party and the state, there is a strong emphasis on green rural development, making the transformation of the rural green development path imperative. This paper takes rural ecological development as the research basis and innovatively integrates the “educational research” model, aiming to provide practical strategies for the sustainable development of abandoned mine rural landscapes. Taking Datukuang in Xinhe Village, Dadukou District, Chongqing as an example, this project breaks through the technical path dependence of traditional engineering restoration, creatively implants research function modules such as natural education, geological science popularization, and ecological experience, transforming the abandoned mine pit into a composite ecological education demonstration base integrating environmental restoration, science popularization education, and cultural tourism experience. It has opened up a new paradigm for rural revitalization with “mine restoration + research economy”, providing an innovative practice sample for solving the transformation dilemma of resource-based villages.
