The expanding characteristics study of built-up land use along the urbanization gradient in quickly urbanized area:a case study of Nanchang area
快速城市化地区建设用地沿城市化梯度的扩张特征——以南昌地区为例

Urbanization is mostly represented by the increasing of built-up area. In a region where rapid urbanization is dominated by major cities, the expansion of built-up area is a complex process including patch expanding and amalgamating, and continuos new patch emerging. The process is constrained from the development needs of a city as well as the carrying capacity of disposable land resources. It is predicted that built-up patches have significant difference in expanding among the regions with different urban...
