Abstract:The purpose of this paper was to evaluate the salt field reclamation feasibility and analyze the limiting factors in coastal area in Jiangsu Province, and to provides support for spatial selection and technology design for salt field reclamation, and to increase the sources and the ways of arable land supplement and ensure the effective implementation of the coastal development strategy. On the basis of field survey, taking coastal waste salt field remediation for arable land as evaluation objective, the construction of the evaluation index system was based on natural conditions suitability, feasibility of economic support, implementation of the project operability addition of overall efficiency and ecological sensitivity. Meanwhile, the study area of salt field reclamation was divided into four suitablity types, and the limiting factors of salt field reclamation were determined. The results showed that, in the next few years, the areas of suitable remediation salt fields are mainly distributed in the southeastern of Lianyun district, Guanxi saltern of Guanyun County, the south of the Guanhe River, Sheyang saltern in the South Bank of Sheyang River, the eastern part of Dongtai City and the southeastern part of Rudong County. The main limiting factors of salt field reclamation feasibility in Jiangsu Province are government receipt, the distance from coastline and relative altitude.
