Abstract:This paper took Landsat TM/ETM images and SPOT-5 images of Zhengzhou City in 1988, 1997, 2000 and 2002 as the data sources of land use structure, established the annual mean transition probability matrixes of land use structure in different periods, then predicated and decided the future land use structures and the amounts of cultivated land reserved by using Markov Model and multi-project method. The results showed that: with the development of urbanization, the area of urban constructive land would increased while the area of cultivated land would decrease continuously. In 2015 the amount of cultivated land reserved was 43 957.84 hm2 under the cultivated land preservation model, but 38 703.89 hm2, 30 491.87 hm2 under the normal development model, and 22 455.74 hm2 under the rapid urbanization model, respectively.
