Title
Spatial-Temporal Monitoring of Urban Growth: A Case in Kunming, Southwest China.
Abstract
With the rapid growth of urban population and economic development, the urban growth has also accelerated dramatically. The paper monitored the urban growth of Kunming by detecting the land use change after supervised classification and analyzing urban expansion rate and intensity index in 1974-2013. The result shows the urban has experienced rapid expansion. Moreover, since 1992 the spatial extension has speed up. The main source of land expansion were farmland, woodland and grassland. And the urban expansion is expanding rapidly to the southeast, northwest and northeast with the old city as the core in Kunming. The urban growth is mainly affected by the natural terrain, economy, population and administrative factors. The study summarized the regularity of expansion and the driving force factors of the city growth, and provide a basis theory for future urban healthy development and provide experience for relevant government and scholars.
