Abstract:Taking Xi’ an City as an example and using statistical data from 1996 to 2005 , the landuse change of Xi’ an City during its accelerated urbanization is studied.Firstly , the landuse change of the city is analyzed from different stand-points.The area of cultivated land during the 10 years , as well as that of pasture and idle land , is found to decrease.Moreover , the areas of garden , forest land , population centre , industrial and mining field , traffic field , and water body increase.Therefore , the landuse of the city is in the duration of development and adjustment.After that , by bringing in an index and setting up a regression equation , the correlation between landuse change and urbanization of the city is studied on the ground of analyzing the urbanization.The analysis indicates an increased index , which elucidates that the expansion of population centre , industrial and mining field , and traffic field is quicker than the urbanization.As a result , the lack of land resources has severely retarded the urbanization and will impede it in the future.At last , some suggestions are proposed.
