Abstract

Research objectives: This paper discusses how to support the realization of carbon peak and carbon neutrality through the optimization of national spatial structures by establishing a relationship model between land-use structure and carbon emissions, and then provide theoretical and methodological support for the formulation of relevant policies and plans, as well as the evaluation of implementation effects. Research methods: grid analysis, GIS spatial analysis, double log linear regression model. Results: There is a strong correlation between the spatial structure of land and carbon emissions; the scale of construction land, especially industrial land, directly affects carbon emissions; if the area of construction land is doubled, CO 2 emissions will increase by about 1.7 times. Conclusions: The potential of controlling carbon emission intensity through land structure at the urban level is great, and it is feasible to control carbon emission intensity through territorial spatial planning system. The control elements can be divided into the following levels: land supply control, land structure adjustment, land intensity constraint, and function adjustment of existing land.
