By considering the regulation requirements of previous general landuse planning and revealing the dynamic change of landuse in Tongzhou from 1997 to 2005,the study evaluates the implementation effects of general landuse planning based on the analysis of the driving factors of landuse changes. The evaluatio n ind-icates that the total characteristic of the landuse shift is that far mlands (especially arable land) decrease and construction land increases abruptly,while no n-use land has a little change.The difference of landuse shift is obvious.It can be divided into two phases by taking year of 2001 as a cutting point: in the former phase, the landuse system is ordered and fairly steady and in the latter phase, how ever, there is an intense fluctuation and the landuse space structure becomes complicated. There is a vast difference betw een landuse shift and the deviation degree of the control target of all kinds of landuses. The general landuse planning in Tongzhou is not implemented very well.
