Abstract
This study used SPOT image to analyze land cover change on Kinmen Island during 1995, 2000, and 2001. The research method was based on landscape ecology. Kinmen Island is a small island located in the Shamen Bay, southeast costal of Mainland China. This island has provided a long term development experience due to its location and unique historical situation. Some scholars announced that the tourism industries would conduct the transformation of landscape and lead to impact on both social structure and natural environment on Kinmen Island since it ceased from military management in 1992, but there was no concrete data to assess this phenomenon. The result of this investigation can be used as a reference material of land use management.
