A Study on the Structural Change of Land Use for Energy Saving in Xinchang County with Application of Ecological Materials Based on Lorenz Curve and Gini Coefficient

Abstract:

This study conducted the quantitative analysis on the structure change of land use in Xinchang County using Lorenz curve and Gini coefficient. The results revealed the characteristics and evolution of the county's land use structure change and suggested that the county increase the distribution rate of woodland and other ecological applications for a carbon source reduced, energy saving and ecology-conducive environment.
