Abstract
Since the 1990s, the research of Land use - cover change (LUCC) has become an important field of global environment change. This problem becomes especially important in China because of its huge population and relatively small area. During the process of urbanization, land-use changed dramatically in suburban area of large cities in the central area of China such as Wuhan. With the classification interpretation of the TM/ETM remote sensing images of Wuhan city in 2000 and 2007, this paper comprehensively analyzes land use dynamic characteristics of Wuhan city during the 8 years by using GIS technology. This study reveals that during the 8 years, the arable land declined fast and the confliction between the human beings and land resources becomes more severely, as the continued expansion of urban construction land, part of local section is not highly developed and it also has an impact on the ecological environment.
