- Abstract:
-
Cultivated land is the basic condition for human survival. With the development of urbanization level, contradiction has become increasingly prominent between cultivated land and construction land. How to coordinate contradiction between urban development and cultivated land reduction is the emergent problem. Taking Urumqi as a study case, the appraising index system to estimate urbanization level was set up, the correlation between urbanization level and cultivated land change was analyzed by adopting correlation analysis and regression analysis. The results showed that weak correlation is existed between the two variables from 1996 to 2006, the correlation coefficient is 0.229; there was a notable negative correlation between the two variables from 1996 to 2004, the correlation coefficient is -0.952.
