Spatial Distribution Characteristics and Zoning of Cultivated Land Management:A Case Study of Xiangxiang City
The survey data of cultivated land use in Xiangxiang City,2022 and the analytical hierarchy process(AHP)were employed to establish an evaluation index system of cultivated land management,which was used to systematically evaluate the cultivated land management on a village scale in this city.Furthermore,the geographic information system(GIS)and spatial autocorrelation analysis were employed to characterize the spatial pattern and determine the management zones.The results showed that the cultivated land management in Xiangxiang City was generally at the middle and upper levels,with obvious spatial agglomeration distribution.Specifically,the villages with mature cultivated land management were mainly concentrated in the north-central and south-central areas,and those with poor management were mainly concentrated in the northwestern and southwestern areas of the city.According to the results of local spatial autocorrelation analysis,the cultivated land management in this city was zoned into three categories of stable management,comprehensive management,and prioritized management.Measures should be taken according to the local characteristics and infrastructures of the villages.
