It is an effective way to reveal global and regional land use change process by researching on the regional land use change process, pattern, and driving force. This paper analyzes the general characteristics and driving forces of land use change, transformation direction of land use status by ways of land use conversion matrix model and principal component analysis, based on Ezhou land use spatial data and social economy data in 1991, 2004 and 2009. The result shows that land use change is obvious over the past 18 years, especially for the cultivated land, which is decreased to 28.39%. The reduced cultivated lands were transferred to construction land, aquaculture land and forestland. So the growth rate of aquaculture land and construction land were 200.62% and 84.83%, which originated from farmland and water area. The main social economy driving force is economy growth, the improvement of people's living standards, and population growth, policy of government and urban planning are also the important driving forces.
