Monitoring and assessment of sea area use spatial pattern by satellite remote sensing: A case study in Huludao test region
Aimed at monitoring and assessing sea area use spatial pattern by satellite remote sensing. Huludao sea field was chosen as test area case in this paper. Firstly, a sea area use classification system of satellite remote sensing was created and monitoring processes of all sea area use types by satellite remote sensing techniques were established. Then the sea area use spatial pattern of Huludao test region was monitored by satellite remote sensing images of SPOT5, geographical information system and global position system. The result showed that satellite remote sensing associating with geographic information system and global position system was a good tool in sea area use monitoring and assessment. Manufacture and mining sea area use and fishery sea use were two main landscape types of sea area use. Most of the manufacture and mining sea use patches were big patches and clustering in north coastline, while fishery sea area use patches were small patches scattering along the southern coastline. In sea field landscape pattern, sea area use was dominated by manufacture and mining in Huludao sub-region and was dominated by manufacture and mining type and fishery type in Xingcheng city sub-region, while the sea field was dominated by fishery type in Suizhong sub-region. The sea area use spatial pattern shows obvious spatial differences.
