The purpose of study is to calculate the allocation efficiency of rural-urban land conversion in Wuhan metropolitan area in the dimensions of time, space, and allocation patterns and to provide a theoretical basis and decision reference for improving the efficiency of land resource allocation. Based on the comprehensive analysis and comparison of inefficiency in the dimensions of time, space, and allocation patterns, this paper employed panel data which ranged from 2000 to 2008 of the cities in Wuhan metropolitan area to calculate the allocation efficiency of rural-urban land conversion with the Cobb-Douglas production function model. The results indicated that rural-urban land conversion played a significant role in economic growth because the contribution rate of urban land to economic growth reached to 27.49%; in dimensions of time, misallocation and efficiency loss existed, and there was excessive rural-urban land conversion in some years; in dimension of space, the two cities (Xiantao and Xianning ocated in the southwest of Wuhan metropolitan area) showed the highest contribution rate of urban land to economic growth, the other 7 cities showed a spatial distribution regularity that from west to east and south to north the contribution rate increased gradually; in the dimension of allocation patterns, the degree of market allocation of rural-urban land conversion in Wuhan metropolitan area had been strengthened year by year, and the efficiency of allocation patterns was higher in Huangshi and Xiaogan while it was lower in Xiantao, Qianjiang and Tianmen. It is concluded that, in order to improve the allocation efficiency of rural-urban land conversion and promote the coordinative and sustainable development of regional economy, government can do as follows : in temporal dimension, to control over the amount of land conversed from rural to urban strictly, to use the increased construction land intensively, and to vitalize the stock construction land; in spatial dimension, to adjust rural-urban land conversion indicators between different areas and to establish appropriate financial transfer subsidy policy; in dimension of allocation patterns, to strengthen the construction of land market, to enhance macro-control and ensure the effective working of market mechanism.
