Spatial Pattern Analysis of Land Use and Land Cover Change Based on MODIS

Abstract:

Understanding the process and pattern of regional land use and land cover change was essential for intensive and highly efficient, scientific and rational utilization of land resources. Technologies of remote sensing (RS) and geographical information system (GIS) were applied to simulate and analyze the land use changes from 2000 to 2007 in Pinggu district in Beijing, China. The area of cropland decreased by 62.42 km², while the area of construction land, orchards and forests increased 17.65 km², 25.88 km² and 17.86 km², respectively. We should develop appropriate policies and measures to increase the area of cultivated land in the future. The research results provided the necessary reference for the related researches of land use and land cover change.
