The Driving Forces of Landscape Pattern in Coastal Urban Belt in Liaoning

Abstract:

Based on field investigation and social-economical data, in combination with the 1992 and 2007 Landsat TM remote sensing images of Coastal Urban Belt in Liaoning, this paper analyzed the driving forces of landscape pattern in the study area. From 1992 to 2007, the landscape pattern in the study area experienced a significant change. The rapid population growth, economic development and infrastructure construction had exerted strong influences on these changes of landscape pattern, and thus leading to a deeper level of landscape fragmentation
