Abstract

The plain area of the Du Jiang Yan city was the key area of the reconstruction area after the 2008’s earthquake, so the land use in this area had experienced a large-scale and fast change from 2009 to 2012. Two temporal remote sensing images, taken by the HJ satellite in the April of 2009 and 2012, are used to extract the land use information and to detect changes, some landscape metrics, produced by the FRAGSTATS, are employed to estimate the affections brought by the changes. The results show that about 2983 ha farm lands have been transferred to the built-up lands during the research time and the landscape of the farm lands have become more complex. It is a serious problem that should be faced by the local government, because the significant loss of the farm land is acted counter to strict protection policy of the farm land.
