By taking Yangxian, Hanzho ng City, Shaanxi Province as an example, GIS technology was used to analyze the type,size,and spatial distribution of land resources in the region. Results are as follows: (1)The landuse structure was not appropriate and too much land was not used.(2) The analysis of land used,inview of slope and elevation, indicated that the cultivated land,gardens,and construction sites were concentrated in the areas with slope less than 8 and elevation less than 800m above sea level.As slope and elevation increased, woo dlands and pastures became the predominant landuse types.
