Because of its aridity, the identification of critical areas for ecological protection and the optimization of ecological space structure in Xinjiang are of great significance for promoting the harmonious development of the oasis economy, enhancing the ecological environment, and improving human well-being. This study applied an ecological security evaluation from the three dimensions of habitat quality, ecosystem service value, and soil-water conservation to identify the basic situation of the ecological security pattern. The core \u201csource\u201d area of ecological protection was extracted using the morphological spatial pattern analysis (MSPA) method, while the ecological corridor and important ecological nodes were identified using the minimum cumulative resistance model (MCR). The \u201cpoint-line-plane\u201d three-dimensional ecological network structure was then constructed, providing a case for the development of the ecological security and construction in the oasis. The results showed that in the arid regions of Xinjiang, the ecological land is extremely fragmented and is mainly distributed in the mountains and waters distant from human activities. Overall, there is a substantial geographical disparity with a low level of ecological security, particularly in the ecological marginal areas. The ecological network framework of Xinjiang is characterized by an uneven distribution of \u201csources\u201d, broken corridor structure, and a low degree of networking. Therefore, this study proposed an ecological space layout system consisting of \u201c7 ecological subsystems, 51 source areas, 87 ecological corridors, and 33 ecological nodes\u201d by combining the regional physical and geographical characteristics with the overall development plan.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15112836","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,31]],"date-time":"2023-05-31T02:27:30Z","timestamp":1685500050000},"page":"2836","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":42,"title":["Methodology for Mapping the Ecological Security Pattern and Ecological Network in the Arid Region of Xinjiang, China"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Yishan","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Office of the Principal, Shihezi University, Shihezi 832003, China"},{"name":"College of Geography and Remote Sensing Sciences, Xinjiang University, Urumqi 830017, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1194-8513","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fei","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geography and Environmental Sciences, Zhejiang Normal University, Jinhua 321004, China"}]},{"given":"Xingyou","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geography and Remote Sensing Sciences, Xinjiang University, Urumqi 830017, China"}]},{"given":"Verner Carl","family":"Johnson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical and Environmental Sciences, Colorado Mesa University, Grand Junction, CO 81501, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3939-0336","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mou Leong","family":"Tan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GeoInformatic Unit, School of Humanities, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Gelugor 11800, Penang, Malaysia"},{"name":"School of Geography, Nanjing Normal University, Nanjing 210023, China"}]},{"given":"Hsiang-Te","family":"Kung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Earth Sciences, University of Memphis, Memphis, TN 38152, USA"}]},{"given":"Jingchao","family":"Shi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Earth Sciences, University of Memphis, Memphis, TN 38152, USA"}]},{"given":"Jupar","family":"Bahtebay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geography and Remote Sensing Sciences, Xinjiang University, Urumqi 830017, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3817-3217","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xin","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geography and Remote Sensing Sciences, Xinjiang University, Urumqi 830017, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"12889","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph121012889","article-title":"Planning of Green Space Ecological Network in Urban Areas: An Example of Nanchang, China","volume":"12","author":"Li","year":"2015","journal-title":"Int.
