RS-based land use change and driving forces in a mining city

摘要

In the research of Land Use/Cover Change (LUCC),one of the main focuses is to study LUCC and driving forces for mining cities.This article uses Wu'an as an example by applying remote sensing technology to perform dynamic monitoring on the land use from 2001 to 2010.Quantitative analysis is also applied to find out the dynamic impact on land use.The result shows a continuous decrease of cropland and water body,while continuous increase happens for built-up land,industrial and mining land and woodland.This article chooses 14 motivate indicators,which are related to LUCC of mining city,to set up a model which reveals the impact of population and economy,industrial structure and transportation.The target for this research is to provide useful information for those related departments,improve monitoring effect for mining cities,and to be used as a reference for proper land use planning.
