The project recognizes and takes advantage of the short-term positive impact of climate change on the ALAAS thermal karst lake region while focusing on the sustainable development of the more resilient civilization. It focuses on the changing mechanism of permafrost ecosystems and the mechanism of plant community degradation succession. By optimizing plant community allocation, planning semi-natural areas, and constructing elastic ecological facilities, the project maximizes water and soil properties and make the region strive in permafrost, increases the vitality of flexible regulation and healthy growth facing permafrost degradation. Landscape interventions were taken as critical opportunities to resolve regional contradictions and translate global macro-related issues into small-scale interventions with ecological, social, and economic resilience potential, and gradually build an ALAAS oasis for the region. This comprehensive proposal provides an updated opportunity for the region that once lived in the permafrost region to face both ecological and civil degradation through a landscape-based framework to rebuild confidence in the land of degraded permafrost. The project won the Honor Award of Analysis and Planning of ASLA Student Awards, 2019.
