The Land Use Change Based on the Technology of Remote Sensing with the Urbanization in Pukou District,Nanjing City

Abstract

Reviewing the patterns of the landuse in the suburb area is greatly important to efficient and reasonable urban planning.Based on remote sensing images of 1988,2000 and 2006,through classifying and analyzing,we achieve the process of land use change from 1988 to 2006 in Pukou area in Nanjing,then overlay and analyze the images of 2000 and 2006.Using data obtained from interpretation of remote sensing images and other statistical sources,land use changing patterns and their driving forces including economy,population and policies were analyzed.Finally,the trend of the land use change in this area is forecasted.
