Land use change and its driving factors in the southwestern mountainous region of Guizhou Ceheng in 2010-2022
In order to study the characteristics of the urbanization process and land use changes,and to further reveal the spatial and temporal change characteristics of land use in Ceheng County of Guizhou Province,this paper is based on the data of population urbanization and land use changes in Ceheng County in four time periods,namely,2010-2013,2013-2016,2016-2019,and 2019-2022,and utilizes ArcGIS 10.2 to perform analyses and calculations,to summarize,analyze,and ex-plore in the study period the urbanization process and the changes of each land use type,as well as their mutual transformation and the driving factors of changes.The results show that the urbanized population in Ceheng County increased significantly during the period of 2010-2022,the area of ar-able land,grassland and other land use decreased,and the area of construction land,garden land and forest land increased.The urbanization process,policy factors,and population changes are the main driving factors affecting the changes in land use.Therefore,the study and analysis of the characteristics of various land use changes under the drive of urbanization in Ceheng County can provide technical and theoretical guidance for further rational planning,development and utilization of various types of land in Ceheng County.
