Abstract: | ![]() Based on the statistic data of land utilization changes in Su Xi Chang Region from 1996 to 2007, this paper analyses the dynamic change of land use structure and its spatial differentiation by indices of quantitative analysis such as changing range, dynamic degree, changing intension, relative changing rate and other indices in landscape ecology, etc. The results show that: Along with the rapid development of social economy and urbanization, the construction land demand is increasing greatly, and correspondently the amount of cultivated land has decreased the most. The amount of residential area and industry and mining land and transportation land is increasing every year, and the changing range and dynamic degree of transportation land is the most. The changing intension of all land utilization types is fluctuant, and the sum of transportation land's changing intension is the most except grass land. The land use structure trends to be averaged and stable. The changing range and relative changing rate of cultivated land, residential area and industry and mining land and other agricultural land in Suzhou, Wuxi and Changzhou is almost same, while that of garden plot, forest land, grass land, transportation land, irrigation land and virgin land is differential, and that the changing direction of garden plot, grass land and virgin land in these three cities is not uniform. |
