The land system is a complex natural economic system consisting of the terrestrial part of the Earth’s surface, all the environmental factors within an upper and lower range of the land, and some of the results of human production and living activities over the space (Lambin et al., 2003; Krausmann et al., 2003; Lin and Ho, 2003). The land system is the essential foundation of human survival and development (GLP, 2005). Land system change relates to the changes caused by humans on the land output by altering land use types. This is a complex process reproducing nature and the economy through the intervention of human activities, and inter-conversions between cultivated land, forestry area, grassland, water area, built-up and unused land are one of the important external manifestations of land system change (Nagendra et al., 2004; Nagendra, 2008; Verburg and Overmars, 2009).
