Abstract

Underdeveloped infrastructure and inconvenient water and heating in winter are important factors restricting the improvement of living conditions and quality of life in cold rural areas in China. Developing energy-saving, sustainable, and autonomous communities for self-sufficiency in suitable areas is an effective way to overcome the above difficulties and improve the quality of life of farmers, which is significant to developing economy and saving land and energy. Based on the self-sufficiency technology, the paper puts forward the concept of Autonomous Community for Self-sufficiency and implementation strategy. Contraposing the regional climate feature, community environment and facility, utilization of energy and resources in Beijing countryside, it analyzes the technical feasibility and application of rural autonomous community for self-sufficiency from three aspects of neighborhood, cluster and community under co-construction and sharing. The energy-saving principle, structure and construction method, frontier development and application effectiveness of technologies of autonomous community are discussed afterwards. It gives the conclusion and suggestion on the technological choice and management mechanism at the end.
