Dynamic Monitoring of Land Use/Cover in the Qufu City Based on TM Images
Qufu city is the hometown of Confucius. It is located in the southwest of Shandong Province. And its area is 895.93 square kilometers. The annual equal temperature is 13.3 degree and annual amount of precipitation is 666.3 mm. In this paper, the land use/cover change (LUCC) in the Qufu City is researched using two sets of Landsat images acquired in 1987 and 2005. The land use information in the study area is derived with the supervised classification, and the causes resulting in LUCC are analyzed. The research shows that the areas of urban and rural building land expand by reducing the area of farmland and the areas of the woodland and water are sharply increased. The economy development and the city development are the macroscopically driving forces of the land use/cover change. The sharp population growth and rapid development of primary industry are the direct reasons that reduce the area of farmland. While the increasing water area is greatly related to the building of Ni Mountain Reservoir.
