Features: This book is the first domestic monograph on regional comparative research methods and empirical studies of land use change (LUCC). The main contents include:
- Multi-indicator quantitative analysis of the economic development stages of Fujian and Taiwan;
- Systematic comparison of the quantity, quality, spatiotemporal distribution, and processes of land use change in Fujian and Taiwan, particularly cropland and urban construction land changes, based on statistical data and remote sensing interpretation data;
- Quantitative coupling of the patterns and processes of LUCC in Fujian and Taiwan with socio-economic factors in their industrialization processes, comparing and exploring the land use change models at different stages of industrialization in Fujian and Taiwan;
- Analysis and comparison of the driving factors of land use change in Fujian and Taiwan using methods such as correlation analysis, grey relational analysis, and path analysis;
- Simulation and extrapolation of future cropland and urban construction land changes in Fujian Province using multiple regression analysis, grey prediction, and grey Markov prediction, referencing relevant parameters from Taiwan's industrialization process in terms of land use change and socio-economic development;
- Regional comparative case studies of LUCC between Fuzhou and Taipei, and Quanzhou and Kaohsiung as pairs of municipal regions;
- Proposing strategies and measures for the sustainable utilization of cropland and urban construction land in Fujian.
The regional comparative research on LUCC at provincial and municipal scales in this book enriches the methodology of land change science in China and provides guidance and reference for regional sustainable development. The book is suitable for researchers, university teachers and students, as well as technical and administrative personnel in the fields of geographical science, resource science, land science, national land planning, and related disciplines.
