- Abstract:
-
Supported by geographical information system(GIS) technology, statistical method, and landscape ecological methods, this paper analyzed the temporal and spatial change of land use during 1985—2000 in the northern poverty belt of Hebei Province around Beijing and Tianjin in order to provide scientific basis for sustainable development of this study area. The results show that forestland and urban-rural construction land significantly increased, while arable land, grassland, water body, and unused land decreased during 1985—2000. The increased forestland mainly originated from grassland and arable land, newly increased urban-rural construction mainly derived from arable land, unused land was mainly transferred into grassland and arable land. The diversity and fragmentation index of land use in the study area reduced, while aggregation index of land use increased. The fragmentation index of arable land increased, but its form tended to be regular. All other land use types tended to be more regular and contiguous.
