- Abstract:
-
In order to provide reference for the development of rational farmland protection system and policies, we took Xi’an City as an example, used the principal component analysis, arable land from 2000 to 2012 data and related socio-economic data based on 14 factors selected from the demographic, economic, industrial structure, living standards and the level of urbanization five areas altogether, to reveal the mechanism of the change of cultivated land area in Xi’an City in the nearly 13 years. The results showed that: (1) the overall arable land of Xi’an City decreased gradually, the annual average decreasing rate was 1.38%; (2) the main driving forces on the change of cultivated land area in Xi’an City was the economic development, urbanization level, agricultural factors, which constituted the main driving forces to cultivated land change in Xi’an City; (3) meanwhile, the trend of sharp decline of arable land in Xi’an City can be curbed through these 3 aspects: reduction of occupation from the construction land, promotion of economic development mode transformation and strengthening the guidance of adjustment of agricultural structure.
