Abstract

Abstract: A deep analysis of the transformation trajectory and structural changes of land use in the Yellow River Basin is a key factor to enhance the sustainable utilization efficiency of land resources in the area. Using remote sensing （RS） and geographic information systems （GIS） technology， this study selected six periods of RS imagery from 1990 to 2018 as data sources. It combines geoscience information mapping and statistical methods to analyze the spatial patterns and structural characteristics of land use changes in the Yellow River Basin. The study found that：（1） Between 1990 and 2018， changes in cultivated land and construction land were the most dramatic， with a net decrease of 8663 km² in cultivated land and a significant increase of 13 109 km² in construction land； unused land decreased by 8131 km²， while forested and grassland areas experienced slight growth；（2） There were frequent conversions among different land types， particularly notable transformations among grassland， forestland， and cultivated land， as well as the conversion of cultivated land to construction land；（3） Although there were significant replacements in land use types over the 28 years， the overall land use pattern in the basin remained basically stable， with relatively smooth structural evolution， showing zonal differentiation characteristics from upstream to downstream. This study systematically revealed the temporal and spatial evolution patterns and structural transformation characteristics of land use in the Yellow River Basin， providing strong data support and decision-making references for spatial planning， ecological restoration， and land policy formulation in this region.

摘要： 深入解析黄河流域土地利用的转型轨迹与结构变迁，是提升流域土地资源可持续利用效率的关键一环。借助遥感（Remote sensing，RS）与地理信息系统（Geographic information system，GIS）技术，选取1990—2018年间六期遥感影像为数据源，结合地学信息图谱与数理统计方法，对黄河流域土地利用变化的空间图式及结构特点展开分析。研究发现：（1）1990—2018年间，耕地与建设用地变化最为剧烈，耕地面积净减少8663 km²，而建设用地显著增加13 109 km²；未利用地减少8131 km²，林地和草地则实现小幅增长；（2）各地类之间转换频繁，尤以草地、林地与耕地之间的相互转化，以及耕地向建设用地的转化最为突出；（3）尽管28年间土地利用类型发生显著更替，但流域整体土地利用组合格局仍保持基本稳定，结构演变相对平缓，并呈现出从上游至下游的地带性分异特征。本研究系统揭示了黄河流域土地利用的时空演变规律与结构转型特征，为该区域国土空间规划、生态修复与土地政策制定提供了有力的数据支撑与决策参考。
