[Objective] On the basis of the survey on ecological land use status in Savan water economic zone of Laos, the characteristics of ecological land in this research area is explored through the landscape index analysis and ecological sensitivity evaluation to provide the basis for land use planning, to ensure the rational land use and guarantee the healthy development of the ecological environment. [Methods] Appropriate indicators were selected in terms of landscape pattern and ecological sensitivity. Variation coefficient method was used to determine weights of evaluation indices, so as to analyze comprehensively the sensitivity and spatial distribution of ecological land in Savan water economic zone. [Results] The extremely sensitive area, highly sensitive area, medium sensitive area, low sensitive area and not sensitive area accounted for 1.42%, 19.36%, 32.85%, 46.01% and 32.85% respectively. Forest landscape fragmentation was the lowest, with minimal disturbance by human activities. Water and farmland landscape fragmentation were highest and have complex shapes. In addition, the two landscape types were significantly affected by human activities. Construction land area was small and its landscape fragmentation was in medium level due to the restriction of its development condition in the study area. [Conclusion] According to this research, the study area is divided into priority construction zones, secondary construction zones, transition zones, and conservation zones.
