Yuan Lu, Liu Zhuo-ying

Abstract

Principles and indices for land eco-economic regionalization in Hengxian,a hilly county in southeast Guangxi are discussed.The spatial database of a land eco-economic system that includes information of natural ecology,land resources and socio-economic conditions is established by using Geographic Information System (GIS). With the support of SPSS software, forty factors derived from the spatial database are selected for cluster analysis for twenty-one villages or towns in the studied region. The region is divided into four types and eight subtypes of land eco-economic zones. The characteristics of every land eco-economic zone are analyzed thoroughly,hence some suggestions about sustainable utilization of land resources and the targets of ecological construction are brought forward.
