辽东半岛是东北东部山地的南延部分,属于暖温带落叶阔叶林景观。由于受到海洋的影响,气候比我国同纬地区温和、湿润,为太区农业、林业及果蚕业的发展提供了有利条件,同时本区海岸曲折,港湾众多,富海上交通和渔业之利。在东北地区,本区是一个自然环境较优越,自然资源较丰富的区域。本文主要阐述辽东半岛自然地理的基本特征和自然资源的优势,并对其利用方向作了初步探讨。

The Liaodong Peninsula in Liaoning Prov ince belongs to the broad-leaf forest landscape of warm temperate zone. Influenced by the ocean, the climate here is warmer and more humid than those of the areas of the same latitude in China, offering favourable conditions for 'he development of agriculture, forestry, fruits and sericulture in the area. Furthermore, the sea-coast of the Peninsula is tortuous and has many bays which are convenient for communication and fishery.In this paper, the main characteristics of physical geography, the superiority, uilization oriehtation and exploitation strategy of fhe natural resources of the Peninsula are discussed. At the same time, the author has pointed out that the development of fruits and sericulture should be carried out according to local conditions and that the resources of the ocean and seacoast should be exploited and utilized rationally. At the end of the paper, the seacoast of the area has been divided into 3 utilization sections, i.e., (1) the eastern coast should be mainly utilized for reclaiming fields from the sea and cultivating aquatic products, (2) the southern coast should be mainly utilized for cultivating aquatic products and developing seaports and tourism, and (3) the western coast should be mainly utilized for evaporating bring to make salts and cultivating aquatic products.
