A comparative analysis of urban and rural construction land use change and driving forces: Implications for urban–rural coordination development in Wuhan, Central China

This paper analyzes the urban-rural land-use change of Chongqing and its policy dimensional driving forces from 1995 to 2006, using high-resolution Landsat TM (Thematic Mapper) data of 1995, 2000 and 2006, and socio-economic data from both research institutes and government departments. The outcomes indicated that urban-rural land-use change in Chongqing can be characterized by two major trends: First, the non-agricultural land increased substantially from 1995 to 2006, thus causing agricultural land especially farmland to decrease continuously. Second, the aggregation index of urban settlements and rural settlements shows that local urban-rural development experienced a process of changing from aggregation (1995-2000) to decentralization (2000-2006). Chongqing is a special area getting immersed in many important policies, which include the establishment of the municipality directly under the Central Government, the building of Three Gorges Dam Project, the Western China Development Program and the Grain-for-Green Programme, and bring about tremendous influences on its land-use change. By analyzing Chongqing's land-use change and its policy driving forces, some implications for its new policy of ‘Urban-rural Integrated Reform’ are obtained. That is more attentions need to be paid to curbing excessive and idle rural housing and consolidating rural construction land, and to laying out a scientific land-use plan for its rural areas taking such rural land-use issues as farmland occupation and rural housing land management into accounts, so as to coordinate and balance the urban-rural development.

This study attempts to evaluate the spatial variability characteristic of soil heavy metals in different industrial types. Therefore, concentrations of heavy metals in soils with different distances from solid, liquid and gas point source and nonpoint source were measured in Yixing, an area with intensive industrialization in Yangtze River Delta of China. The results show that 1) the enrichment of heavy metals in soils around point source is strong and concentrations of heavy metals in soils around solid point source are the highest, followed by liquid, and gas is relatively low. The types of enrichment element depend on the types of point source. Concentrations of heavy metals in soils with distance are significantly decreased. And affected by the prevailing wind, the area influenced by gas point source is the largest, followed by solid, and liquid is relatively small; 2) compared with point source, the enrichment of heavy metals in soils around nonpoint source is relatively weak, but its element types are complex. There are no significant changes of concentrations of heavy metals in soils with distance, but the influenced area is larger; and 3) affected not only by the prevailing wind direction, but also by industry layout, concentrations of soil heavy metals around nonpoint source are of difference in different directions. Due to the complexity of the enrichment element’s types of soil heavy metals and their combined effect in nonpoint source, the spatial variability is more complex. It means that taking effective measures to control nonpoint source is especially difficult.

Spatial Variability Characteristic of Soil Heavy Metals Due to Industry Development of Typical Regions in Yangtze River Delta of China

In the Present work, an integrated 
analysis of natural and socio-economic conditions in the hilly redsoil region of southeastern 
China is made by nieans of a Geographic Information System. Particular em-phasis lies on soil 
degradation and other adverse ecological and environmental effects of the prevalent 
andirrational land-use systems of mono-and valley-agriculture in the region. Moreover, taking 
into account thesimultaneous existence of enormous potentials and serious constraints and 
the high diversity and complexityof the biophysical and socio-economic environments, a set of 
strategies and counterineasures are also prc-posed for appropriate management of 
environmental resources, in terms of maintaining harmony betweenutilization and conservation 
of the natural environment, including 1) adjustment of the agricultural structureand optimization 
of ecological patterns of stereo-agriculture; 2) improvement and integrated exploitation ofthe 
low-yield lands and wastelands; 3) rehabilitation and conservation of soil and water resources; 
and 4)establishment of production bases of tropical and subtropical cash crops and fruits.
