Abstract
ABSTRACT The overuse of land has resulted in a sharp decline in ecological functions, affecting the environment as it relates to the existence and sustainable development of the whole biosphere. This work aims to evaluate the ecological and economic efficiencies of the land-use structure. A simulation model, CLUE-S (Conversion of Land-Use and its Effects at Small Region Extent), and an integrated model based on the MOP (Multi-Objective Program) and CLUE-S were applied to assess the suitability of unutilized lands in [...]

As the society and economy have developed rapidly in China, different demands for land have emerged during various stages of development
When the global economy developed to the point of industrial civilization, the overuse of land resulted in a sharp decline of ecological functions, which affected the environment as far as the existence and sustainable development of the whole biosphere (Li et al, 2016; Sica et al, 2016)
Based on the mathematical statistics and GIS spatial analysis method, our research analyzed the structure of land utilization, rules of change, and transformational rules for land types in Huanghua City from 2006-2016
Summary
As the society and economy have developed rapidly in China, different demands for land have emerged during various stages of development. The simulation of land-use changes and their optimization are important aspects of land science. Such simulations scientifically guarantee the achievement of the sustainable development of land resources. Under certain constraints, this strategy is an important method for attaining the scientifically supported land use ratios and spatially optimized layout for various land resources. Some Chinese scholars have combined ecological theory, mathematical models, and GIS technology to undertake spatial configuration research on land utilization (He et al, 2015; Liu et al, 2015). In China, the application of the CLUE-S (the Conversion of Land-Use and its Effects at Small Region Extent) and cellular automaton (CA) models are popular
