Methods for determining the development space in the conservation and utilization planning of uninhabited islands,.

The conservation and utilization planning of uninhabited islands is an important part of island management system, which is also the link between island administrators and users. How to scientifically and reasonably determine the development space is the core and difficulty in the planning. In this paper, taking the conservation and utilization planning of the Dashan Island and Ding Island as the example, methods of determining the development space for the highly sensitive ecological islands in the premise of ensuring ecological safety space are explored. According to the ecological status of islands, intensity of human disturbance is confirmed as the main assessment factor and assigned based on different space uses, which is used to assess the status of human disturbance. Results suggest the status of island human disturbance is on the slight level and the magnitude is very low, which is consistent with the reality. Also the results show the adaptability of the model. The threshold is used to calculate the development space of the island, which is the slight level of human disturbance in the model. Finally, the applicable scope of this method is discussed.
