In this study, the remote sensing image data of Nanchang city in the recent 10 years was analyzed by GIS, ENVI and Fragstats, the dynamic characteristics and time node of landscape pattern change were studied, and the driving factors of social economy and policy were discussed. The results showed that during the year between 2008 and 2016, the patch area of bare land and farmland experienced a decrease of 6.34% and 11.29% respectively, whereas the patch area of green land, construction land and water body had an increase of 7.38%, 4.58% and 5.67% respectively. The landscape fragmentation degree raised, the patch dominance of construction land was decreased. The fixed investments (excluding farmers), the urban population, construction industry and transportation, storage, post and telecommunications in the third industry were socioeconomic influential factors in the landscape pattern change. With the further impellent of the “Old City Rejuvenation” planning, the patch area of greenbelt and water restored and enlarged. The outward dispersed expansion of grey patch area was effectively controlled. |
