Assessment on Industrial Land-Use Fitness in a Resource Based Town

Abstract:

Suitability of industrial land use in Nanfen District of Benxi City, a famous industrial-mining town in China, was evaluated in terms of niche fitness model. Results indicated the most suitable, sub suitable, barely suitable and unsuitable area for industrial land use in Nanfen was 91.23 km², 182.72 km², 182.08 km² and 162.97 km², respectively. Spatially, the most suitable and sub suitable areas were mainly distributed in urban area, and barely suitable areas were chiefly located in Xiamatang town, however, unsuitable areas were mostly scattered in Sishanling town. Industrial activity should be arranged in the most suitable area, so as to match actual resource niche and minimize environmental pollution and ecological damage.
