Abstract:Using SPOT images as a primary source of information, this paper analyzed the rural land use pattern and its consolidation direction of Daxing district in Beijing by the methods of landscape pattern and spatial analysis. Results showed that: 1) the reserve of cultivated land resource was scarce, and land use type distributed highly scattered with low aggregation; 2) the rural residential land distributed evenly with large total area, high patch number and extremely high per capita land, thus had great consolidation potential and difficulty; 3) nearly half of agricultural lands were relatively intensive used, such as greenhouse land, orchard land and aquaculture land, but the operation scales were low very much; 4) scattered aquaculture lands were very close to residential lands and roads, and short of the agricultural land to consume animal wastes, which leads to high risk on disease spreading and non-point pollution. The above problems showed it urgent to conduct integrated land consolidation, optimize land use structure and spatial layout in the area.
