'ABSTRACT
Using Landsat TM data of 1988, 1998 and 2001, the dynamic process of the spatial-temporal characteristics of land use changes during 13 years from 1988 to 2001 in the special economic zone of Xiamen, China was analyzed to improve understanding and to find the driving forces of land use change so that sustainable land utilization could be practiced. During the 13 years cropland decreased remarkably by nearly 11 ha. The areas of rural-urban construction and water body increased by ha and ha, respectively. From 1988 to 2001, % of the lost cropland was converted into rural-urban industrial land. Rapid urbanization contributed to a great change in the rate of cropland land use during these years. Land-reclamation also contributed to a decrease in water body area as well as marine ecological and environmental destruction. In the study area 1) urbanization and industrialization, 2) infrastructure and agricultural intensification, 3) increased affluence of the munity, and 4) policy factors have driven the land use changes. Possible sustainable land use measures included construction of a land management system, land planning, development of potential land resources, new technology applications, and marine ecological and environmental protection.
Key Words: driving force, GIs, land use change, remote sensing, Xiamen
INTRODUCTION
Land use and land cover are prominent ecological symbols within the surface system of the earth.
Land use refers to human manipulation of the land to fulfill a need or want. Meanwhile, land use change may involve either a shift to a different use, such as from rice paddy to aquaculture, or an expansion and intensification of an existing form, such as from subsistence mercial farming (Matson et al., 1997).
