2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, there has been an increasing need for greening of buildings, balconies and balconies for the purpose of alleviating the heat island phenomenon that is becoming more serious in urban areas, improving the urban environment, and creating familiar green spaces. There is. On the other hand, so-called biotopes are being created for the purpose of restoring or creating familiar habitats for flora and fauna, but it is still difficult to secure an effective space for that purpose, especially in urban areas. is the current situation. Therefore, it is required to improve biodiversity by converting the rooftop space, veranda, and balcony space into biotopes, and to coexist with urban environment and familiar nature.

[0003]

However, there are the following problems in applying the conventional rooftop greening technology to a rooftop of a general building having various areas and structures, a space such as a veranda, a balcony, and the like. There is a demand for a simpler and more practical green space forming method. It requires a large area and requires a large amount of money and construction period for waterproofing work and water supply / drainage facility work, and requires careful maintenance after construction, which is troublesome and costly for repair, repair, and dismantling. .

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view showing one embodiment of a unit type biotope of the present invention.

The biotope according to the present invention is provided with a container-like container 1 for inhabiting aquatic organisms and a container-like container 1 for this pond, which is arranged along the periphery of the container-like container 1 to form a planting space. And a plurality of container-shaped containers 2 for planting. Planting plants are selected for the purpose of inhabiting, introducing and attracting diverse or selective organisms. Note that the combination of the container-shaped containers 1 and 2 is not limited to this, and a single or a plurality of containers can be arbitrarily combined to realize a movable simple installation type biotope. Moreover, the container-shaped container 1 for a pond may be connected as needed.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the container-shaped containers 1 and 2 of FIG. As the container, a container made of resin, steel, or the like having an open top and a watertight bottom is adopted. The planar shape of the container is rectangular (variable arrangement is possible by making one side length an integral multiple of the other side length), hexagon, triangle, etc. Form a highly variable continuous vegetation base. A pair of concave grooves m are formed on the bottoms of the container-shaped containers 1 and 2,
A fork of a forklift is inserted into the groove m to carry the container-like container. It should be noted that instead of the concave groove m, it may be integrated with a trolley, wheels, or the like so as to have a form that allows easy movement.

FIG. 3 shows a container-like container 2 for a plurality of vegetation.
It is a figure which shows the connection method of each other. A trough-shaped connecting member 3a for a walkway is inserted into a wall portion of an adjacent container-like container so that a person can walk for management and viewing.
Further, a notch k is formed in a part of the wall of the container-like container, and the notch connecting member 3b is inserted along the notch k so that a soil layer is also formed on the connecting member 3b. As indicated by the dotted line in the figure, the continuity of the soil space is maintained and the movement of container-like containers such as soil organisms is ensured.

The container-shaped containers 1 for ponds are also connected to each other by a connecting member 3a for a walkway and a connecting member 3b for a cutout portion so that a person can walk for management and appreciation, and aquatic life etc. May be moved between container-like containers.

FIG. 4 is a sectional view showing one embodiment of the unit type biotope of the present invention. The upper ends of the container-shaped container 1 for pond and the container-shaped container 2 for planting are connected by a walking path connecting member 3a. A wall member 5 for retaining soil is attached to the container-shaped container 2 for planting on the left side in the figure, which allows a planting base (an artificial aggregate layer 6, an artificial lightweight soil layer 7, a normal soil such as upland soil described later) to be normally formed. It is possible to add a slope to the soil layer 8).

A mat-like covering member made of a fibrous material such as coconut husk or the like having an appropriate unevenness or roughness on the surface is provided on the upper surfaces of the walking path connecting member 3a and the wall member 5 and on the other wall of the container. 4 is covered, one end of the covering member 4 extends into the container-like container 2 for planting, and the other end extends into the container-like container 2 for pond. When the adjacent container-shaped containers are the container-shaped containers 2 for planting, both ends of the covering member 4 are extended into the container-shaped container 2 and the container-shaped container 2 is not connected to anything. In this case, the end of the covering member 4 is extended so as to come into contact with the container installation surface 9 such as the ground or floor.

This covering member 4 considers the landscape of the biotope space, prevents small animals such as insects from falling, and allows living organisms that have fallen in the pond to crawl up, and facilitates movement between container-like containers. I am letting you.

In the container-like container 2 for planting, a planting base consisting of an artificial aggregate layer 6, an artificial lightweight soil layer 7, and a normal soil layer 8 such as upland soil is installed in order from the bottom. The proportions of the artificial aggregate layer 6, the artificial lightweight soil layer 7, and the normal soil layer 8 such as upland soil are variable depending on the conditions of the installation location of the unit type biotope of the present invention. In addition, similar planting bases 6-8
It can also be installed in a container-like container for ponds. Planting
In addition to direct planting, containers such as pots and planters are arranged in a container-like container to facilitate plant replanting,
Fix it by surrounding it with soil material.

For the container-shaped container 1 for pond,
You may make it possible to make a height difference in the installation position of the container-shaped container 2 for planting, or by connecting the container-shaped containers with different depths, the height of the planting surface was made different. You may make it form a ground.

The embodiment of the present invention has been described above, but the present invention is not limited to this, and various modifications can be made. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the adjacent container-shaped containers are connected by the connecting member, but the connecting member may be omitted and the cover member alone may be used. A walkway environment can be formed, and the continuity between the planting bases in the container-like container and the grounding ground and the planting base in the container-like container is maintained, and movement between the container-like containers of organisms and the grounding ground and the container are performed. It enables to move between planting bases in a container.

[0017]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, new waterproofing work or facility work is not required, and installation, movement, and removal can be performed in a short time and at low cost.
In addition, since it is lightweight and the overall shape can be freely configured, it is possible to form a biotope that effectively uses space, regardless of the installation location, its area, or shape in a building. Further, by easily connecting the container-like containers for the pond, the biodiversity of the biotope space can be improved.
