Abstract:Accompanying with rapid development of city construction, Linyi city has changed rapidly. But the problems about the dense buildings and traffic congestion have gradually emerged, city construction needs more space, development and utilization of city underground space is the primary problem to solve. Linyi city is located in the intersection of multiple geological unit, among the Yishu fault zone, Linyi monoclinic and Pingyi-Fangcheng basin, with developed faulted structures, strong seismic activities and complex geological conditions. Many factors influence the development of underground space. In this paper, from the aspects of hydrological and hydrogeological condition, engineering geological conditions, geological conditions, human engineering activities, geological environment of underground space resource in Linyi city has been anlyzed and studied. It is regarded that main restriction factor is the extremely developed active faults. All active faults which influenced the development of underground space in the area are the restricted areas to develop the underground space resource. The conclusion has certain reference significance to improve the development pattern, increase the space utilization ratio, guide the development and utilization of the city space.
