PUYANG is a cross-media artist, and space-time designer, currently works as a landscape architect for China State Construction Engineering Corporation (CCDG).

Multi-disciplinary artistic practice and multi-media systems such as artificial intelligence, drama experiments, space art and painting. Participated in several art exhibitions and sustainable design. The field involves alternative forms of interdependence between life forms and Earth systems.

Through the research method system of multi-dimensional disciplines such as folklore and anthropology. Local communities, activists, ecologists and government officials will be engaged through participatory approaches such as field surveys and reciprocal agreements, enabling long-term co-design and interventions. Design business research methods that enhance and change the momentum of social, spatial and ecological processes and relationships, and construct inhabited plateau wetlands based on the control and rational use of local natural and human elements and the rational use of local resources and characteristics. A new way of thinking about the landscape. Combined with literature research method, case research method, interview method and other research methods, it solves the problems encountered in each part of the paper from different angles, and puts forward feasible suggestions for promoting the sustainable development of the overall living habitat in this area.

The project explores the design strategy of dealing with fire and protecting peat soil dome structure in Kalimantan, Indonesia. The particularity of the peatland dome structure is caused by the continuous activities and reactions of microorganisms. The habitat of microorganisms is in turn determined by the characteristics of the water in the soil and the nature of the soil itself. This paper will analyze how to use the movement of microorganisms, the impact of canals, and the impact of oil palm plantations to make a significant contribution to the protection of peat soil activity in this area, whilst mindful of the various social, political, and economic factors involved. My project contains two design programmes. First, to protect the peatland in Indonesia through controlled burning. Fire is a necessary factor of land management in this area but needs to be implemented in different and more organised ways than it is currently being used. This project asks how to develop a set of 'best practices' and policies for burning patterns and frequencies that makes use of Indigenous knowledge; ones that might allow local communities legal rights and regulatory control over burning.

This research is devoted to the soil ecological environment between different regions, taking Indonesian peat soil and plateau swamp wetlands as examples, to improve the environmental quality, and strive to provide a practical and feasible way of life for regional settlements for the landscape pattern evolution brought about by the continuous climate crisis. s solution. Provide basic data and theoretical basis for the protection and restoration of peatlands and wetlands, while 1) exploring how (again or re-), in new ways and dialogue with regional settlements 2) learning and researching the natural elements and Human Factors 3) Explore landscape pattern indices, including landscape fragmentation, landscape diversity, landscape uniformity, and landscape dimensions, re-reading the environment in order to use them in design and policy.

-！ – This picture shows that the fire has changed the internal chemical structure of the peat soil and the continuous activities of microorganisms, illustrating the continuous transformation of carbon from a microscopic perspective. After forest fires, Ca and soil pH increased significantly, and the total number of microorganisms, fungi, and respiration rate in the soil decreased (Mbuthia, L.W.,2015). The soil and environmental damage of burnt peat soil on community land exceeded the minimum criteria to be clas

&^%$ – Peatland is a complete living ecosystem. It contains many microorganisms that make it alive, growing, and evolving. Peatland is also a unique structure (Rydin, H., 2013). The soil of the peatland is in itself a small world, rich in organisms and substances such as bacteria, fungi, nematodes, organic matter, and so on (Bot, A., 2005). They interact with each other to keep the soil active. By looking around the roots in the soil, we found communities of bacteria, as well as several major bacteria that affect

(#$^!* – Peatland is composed of many peat domes, each with a small slope and respective spatial dimension (volume and area). From a microscopic point of view, it is the microorganisms’ reactions and actions that give the peatland the uneven form of a peat dome (Johnson, C. W., 1985.). The surrounding environment (water environment, soil environment, temperature, etc.) affects the number and activity of microorganisms, leading to the appearance of peat domes (Orem, W., 2015).

Firepoint 1 burned only once, in the year 2012. Before the fire, the soil and vegetation restoration rate was 74%, however, after the fire, this dropped to 22%. In the year 2013, this rate increased to 87%, before rising to 93% in 2015. As you can see, fire point 2 burned twice, in 2012 and 2013 respectively. The table continues to record for a further 5 years. The restoration rate should be increasing, but instead, we see a dramatic drop. This is because, in 2016, the government and residents built these

This is the current situation of the 2016 MRP project[ The Mega Rice Project was initiated in 1996 in the southern sections of Kalimantan, the Indonesian section of Borneo. The goal was to turn one million hectares of unproductive and sparsely populated peat swamp forest into rice paddies in an effort to alleviate Indonesia's growing food shortage. The government made a large investment in constructing irrigation canals and removing trees. The project did not succeed and was eventually abandoned after causi

# – The exploited canal for palm plantations in the peat land prevented the microorganisms from reacting normally, and the peat dome structure gradually collapsed. Because the canal development in the peat land has significantly changed soil moisture properties (51%), soil permeability (90%), Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) (369%), Organic C (845%), Soil Nitrogen (271% ), total microorganisms (196%), total fungi (464%) and solvent bacteria P (104%). (Basuki Wasis, 2018)

Strategy – I have used squares of different shades of red to indicate the different amount of time a piece of land can be burned for; the differing transparency represents the different burning periods in yearly increments. The black squares indicate that the soil in this area has reached a very serious degree of damage and is not able to recover easily; it corresponds to non-combustible peatland. Deployment plan: This picture cuts the entire Kalimantan into many small squares of 10 (mi²), and rationally manages the

In response to this situation, there is a need to find a way to replace the canal system. Even if the periodic burning design is common to the entire Kalimantan, a complimentary design protecting the peatlands from over-drainage and flooding is required.

I have created two design schemes aimed at preventing the reduction of peatland area and at the same time replacing artificial canals.
