- Abstract:
-
Shunde district is located in the core area of Pearl River Delta, which is experiencing the process of rapid urbanization, and the contradiction between diminishing land resources and rapid economic growth has become increasingly serious. Taking the TM remote sensing images of Shunde district in 1990, 2000 and 2009 as the main data sources, and using the remote sensing and GIS as technology methods, this paper investigated the LUCC with the dynamic degree model quantitatively and characterized the land cover of these three periods with landscape index, which aimed to provide the basis for the better land planning of Shunde district and realize the sustainable utilization of regional land resources effectively. The results showed that the land use of study area changed significantly with the main characteristics on area of dike-pond land decreasing and construction land increasing from 1990 to 2009. There had been a process that the natural and semi-natural landscape were replaced by artificial one. The analysis of landscape index presented evidence of fragmentation development in Shunde district, while forest land, cultivated land and dike-pond land were characterized by fragmentation. From 2000 to 2009, there was a slow change of land cover landscape pattern and the civilization of Shunde district entered a rational stage.
