Abstract:
Based on the landscape distribution map in 2012 and 2019 in the early stage of urban construction of Chengdu Tianfu New District, the landscape pattern change was studied by using the Geographic Information System (GIS) and Spatial Pattern Analysis Program for Categorical Maps (Fragstats) softwares, so as to characterize the landscape pattern changes of the focus area. The results showed that: (1) At present, the landscape composition of Tianfu New District was mainly farm land, and the forest, grassland and urban land were closely related to farm land, which was an important functional patch in the landscape. Forest, grassland and wetland patches had low proximity, poor connectivity and high fragmentation. (2) From 2012 to 2019, the area of the urban land, traffic land, forests, grasslands and wetland increased, and only the area of the farm land decreased. The functional connection of the urban and traffic land was enhanced and the aggregation degree of the traffic land increased obviously, while the proximity of the farm land decreased and the degree of the separation and fragmentation increased. (3) During the past 7 years, the characteristics of the landscape patterns of the focus area were including increases of separation, mixedness, fragmentation, diversity and evenness in landscape level. Based on the above results, some protection measures were put forward, such as constructing two parallel vegetation landscape belts, strengthening wetland network, balancing the area of the urban and farm land, and improving ecological function of the traffic land.
