Abstract:

To make clear what the impact of correlation between clustering factors to land use zoning is, taking Linxiang prefecture as the object of investigation, this study firstly establish a land use zoning index system, and then get two zoning results with hierarchical cluster analysis. One is achieved with correlation reserved; the other is approached with the correlation eliminated by principal component analysis. Analyze the two clustering results comparatively associated with the objective reality of land use, and we conclude that the correlation between indices has a positive effect on the zoning result and should be reserved.
