Dayaowan port area is the core port area of Dalian Port,a large-scale container terminal area has been built on the south shore operation area,but the north shore operation area has not yet been developed.It is the most important foreign trade container reserve port resource of Liaoning coastal ports.Since the implementation of the strict control of reclamation policy,the external constraints on the planning and construction of container terminals have become more complicated.This paper takes the north shore operation area of Dayaowan port area in Dalian Port as an example to explore the container port intensive planning method under the resource and environmental constraints.It studies the optimal use of shoreline and land resources,quantifies and refines the spatial requirements of land functions.Based on the model analysis and scale calculation,the optimization scheme of shoreline and land area arrangement is proposed.The results of the study show that following the demonstration process of “transportation demand - land demand - plan scheme”,through the plan layout of “big and continuous shoreline” and the functional layout of “terminal production area + comprehensive land area”,the matching degree between demand and plan can be effectively strengthened.While ensuring the full capacity of the terminal,efficient and intensive use of sea land can be achieved,and the coordinated development of the port and resource environment can be realized.
