Abstract:

Hedgerows are significant parts of rural landscape, however, the hedgerows, in nowadays rural construction, have been serious destroyed, which has a strong impact not only on rural ecosystem, but also on rural culture landscape. On the basis of the analysis of historical context of the rural hedgerows, in this paper, the soft and hard values i.e. the cultural and ecological values of the rural hedgerows landscape are rediscovered. In the end, the reuse of values of the rural hedgerows are illustrated in accordance with the concept of ecological corridor by a case of Hudson Farm in south U.S..
