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.
