Abstract
Description
I. Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of comprehensive utilization of ecological funeral and land resources, and specifically relates to an ecological real estate model integrating cemeteries and forestlands and its application method, aiming to solve problems such as land resource waste, ecological damage, and insufficient cultural inheritance in traditional funeral models, and promote the coordinated development of green funerals and ecological economy. II. Background Art
[0002] 1. Problems of Traditional Funeral Models Currently, traditional cemeteries generally have the following defects: Land resource waste: Decentralized cemeteries occupy a large amount of cultivated land and forestland, conflicting with the principle of "saving and intensively using land" in the "Land Administration Law"; Ecological damage: The development of cemeteries leads to fragmentation of forestlands, destroys biodiversity, and exacerbates soil erosion; Cultural limitations: Traditional funeral customs are difficult to meet the modern people's needs for ecological and personalized services.
[0003] 2. Existing Technologies and Deficiencies Domestic research: Existing land-saving ecological burials mostly remain at the theoretical level, lacking systematic technical solutions and not solving key problems such as property right definition and carbon sink value development; Foreign practices: "Natural cemeteries" in Europe and America are limited by private land ownership and cultural differences and cannot be directly transplanted to China; Policy gap: The current regulations do not clearly define the land use standards for forestlands compatible with funerals, resulting in difficulties in project implementation.
[0004] 3. Background for the Proposal of the Present Invention Under the background of the "dual carbon" strategy and rural revitalization policies, there is an urgent need for a funeral model that integrates ecological restoration, cultural inheritance, and economic sustainability. Based on the practical experience of a 520-acre experimental field in Tiaoma Town, Hunan Province, the present invention proposes a full-chain solution for "integration of cemeteries and forestlands". III. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Object of the Invention The object of the present invention is to provide an ecological real estate model and its application method, which can achieve the following goals through the spatial integration of forestlands and cemeteries, digital management, and carbon sink trading mechanisms: Save land resources (land saving rate reaches 1:10); Protect the ecological environment and enhance the carbon sink benefits of forestlands; Meet personalized funeral needs and promote the inheritance of green culture; Activate the rural economy and form a "ecological - economic - social" coordinated development model.
[0006] Technical Solution The present invention includes the following core modules: 1. Construction of memorial forest Ecological restoration: transform barren hills, shrub forests or low-efficiency timber forests into special-purpose forests with memorial functions as the main body, divided into memorial areas, ecological restoration areas and public green spaces; Tree species selection: Use long-lived tree species with strong stress resistance and slow growth (such as yew, ginkgo, nanmu, pine and cypress, etc.) to ensure the long-term stability of the forest.
[0007] 2. Land transfer and ownership definition 3D cadastral model: Through the separation of the three powers of surface forest rights (belonging to the village collective), underground burial rights (belonging to the owner of the land), and spatial information rights (belonging to the management party), the ownership conflict between the Civil Code and the Funeral and Interment Management Regulations is resolved; Transfer mechanism: The land use rights (70 years) will be transferred to the owners of the trees or multiple trees to support the sharing of rights and interests and inheritance of property.
[0008] 3. Digital management module Internet of Things system: equip each memorial tree with an RFID or QR code tag, bind it to a cloud database, and record tree growth data and information about the deceased; Blockchain evidence storage: ensure that burial information and carbon sink transaction records cannot be tampered with; Smart management platform: Integrates GIS positioning, carbon sink measurement models and ecological monitoring sensors (such as soil moisture and air quality monitors) to achieve data visualization and real-time updates.
[0009] 4. Carbon sink trading module Carbon sink accounting: Determine the forest land carbon sink in accordance with the Technical Specifications for Measurement and Monitoring of Forestry Carbon Sinks; Funeral carbon credits: convert carbon sinks into tradable credits and connect to the carbon trading market. Users can purchase credits to offset funeral service fees. Economic closed loop: Carbon revenue is fed back into forest maintenance and villagers’ dividends, forming a green economic cycle.
[0010] 5. Multifunctional service module Personalized services: tree selection, art modeling customization, and self-service funeral planning (full commission / semi-self-service mode); Development of complex business formats: combining eco-tourism, life education and leisure agriculture to create an integrated business format of "memorial forest + study + farming experience".
[0011] Beneficial Effects 1. Ecological benefits: restore degraded forest land, enhance carbon sequestration capacity, and protect biodiversity; 2. Economic benefits: Achieve sustainable operation of the project through carbon sink trading, land transfer dividends and increased income from eco-tourism; 3. Social benefits: Promote the popularization of green funeral culture, provide environmentally friendly and convenient funeral services, and alleviate the problem of "being surrounded by cemeteries".

Platform development: Build a smart management platform, integrating real-time carbon sink measurement, ecological early warning and user service interfaces.
[0031] Embodiment 3: Carbon sink trading and operation 1. Carbon sink accounting: Certified by a third-party agency, the annual carbon sink of the memorial forest in Tiaoma Town is 1,200 tons of CO2; 2. Carbon credit issuance: Issued at a ratio of 1 ton of CO2 = 1 credit and connected to the carbon trading market in Hunan Province; 3. Income distribution: 40% of the carbon trading income is used for forest land maintenance, 30% belongs to the village collective, and 30% is invested in ecological tourism development.
[0032] Embodiment 4: Implementation of service modules 1.
