Taking Xinjin as an example, this paper, on the basis of remote sensing and GIS software, probes into the spatial pattern of land use/cover change from 2004 to 2009 through quantitative and qualitative analysis. The results indicate that area of arable land and other land decreases, while that of woodland,residential land and rivers increases; there lies mutual transformation among various land use types; the immerse spatial changes have taken place in land use and cover, and the structure of land uses has stepped into the rapid adjustment period. Policies, urbanization as well as economic development are the major driving force for the change of land use types.Read More
