Dynamic changes of Linpan landscape pattern in western Sichuan and ecological planning strategy

Based on 2001, 2005, 2011, 2015 Landsat /TM images and ArcGIS spatial analysis techniques, the dynamic changes of Linpan landscape in the second ring of Chengdu city were analyzed by using transfer contribution rate. The results demonstrated that with the rapid urbanization, Linpan and farmland mainly converted to urban construction land. The ecological environment and quantity of Linpan was damaged severely. The ecological planning strategies in different level of optimizing Linpan landscape were put forward. The research provides an important basis for protection and development of rural landscape of western Sichuan plain.
