Abstract
Against the backdrop of the reform of the territorial spatial planning system, detailed planning is extending its scope from traditional urban construction spaces to encompass natural spaces such as the ocean. Despite the practice of detailed marine spatial planning in certain coastal regions, prevalent issues persist, including inadequate preparation and poor system integration, coupled with a lack of clear statutory authority 。 and unified technical standards. Addressing the aforementioned issues, this paper proposes the core issue of detailed marine spatial planning, namely “how to achieve a dynamic balance between the scientific protection of ecosystems and refined management and control of human activities within a three-dimensional space, ” and based on this, explores its ontological theoretical requirements that distinguish it from land-based planning. This article first systematically reviews the current development status of detailed planning in terms of policies and regulations, as well as technical standards, clarifying its policy evolution and technical progress. Second, it compares and analyzes the differences between detailed planning and special coastal zone planning in terms of their content systems and technical approaches. Finally, based on the integration of theoretical analysis and practical cases, this article attempts to refine and deduce the principles and models for the preparation of detailed marine spatial planning. It proposes that detailed marine spatial planning should fully draw on the advantages of the transmission and coordination mechanisms of coastal zone planning, as well as the experience of land-based detailed planning in fine-grained control. Adaptive innovations should be carried out in aspects such as functional block division, sea use intensity control, and three-dimensional hierarchical authorization, thereby addressing the insufficient coordination between macro strategies and micro projects, strengthening the control of sea area usage, and promoting the fine-grained and sustainable governance of marine spatial resources.
