Abstract: With the rapid development of the urbanization under the current situation,the urban wetland has become an important resource for urban ecological security.The development of urban ecological leisure based on urban wetlands plays the key role in urban quality improvement.Patch-corridor theory is the important guiding ideology for urban leisure planning and development,network construction and ecological protection.In the opinion of landscape ecology,patches gather crowd,material flow and information flow;on the other hand,the corridors deliver the same flows above.An integral urban leisure network includes numerous patches and corridors.All kinds of flows circulate in the leisure network smoothly.For an urban wetland leisure network,the combination of patches and corridors can promote the development of leisure scale and level.Wetland patches can be planned as recreational activities gathering place,and wetland corridors can be planned as leisure tourism route.Those wetland resources such as swamp (beach,peat lands),lakes (reservoirs) and ponds,rice paddies and other wetland patches,have particular leisure attraction and recreational activities space in cities.The urban wetland resources can be developed as a wide variety of special leisure attractions.Then,those leisure attractions will be important leisure nodes or essential urban recreation centers in the urban wetland leisure space network.Taking Meishan city's urban wetlands leisure tourism development for example,the actual application of patch-corridor theory in urban wetland recreation planning development and protection was demonstrated.The results have shown that river systems play important role in urban wetlands,an urban wetland network of the Minjiang River recreation zone,four urban wetland parks and Tongjiyan Weir historical culture leisure corridor have been built up for Meishan city.The ecological protection measures for wetlands are based on source-sink landscape pattern and wetland resource monitoring system.
