A PRELIMINARY STUDY OF THE STRUCTURE OF LAND USE IN JINCHUAN COUNTY,SICHUAN PROVINCE
四川省金川县土地利用结构的初步研究

Jinchuan County is situated in the transitional rigion between the Qinghai-Xizang plateau and the deep gorges area of the Hengduan Mountains. Here the structure of land utilization is evidently of three dimensions. Destruction of forests and reclamation of waste land have constantly been changing the status of land use. How to use the lands rationally becomes an outstanding problem at the present time. Based on the present land use map on the scale 1:200,000 and the related data before 1984, a preliminary study of the land use structure in the typical region was made. This thesis emphatically analysed the structure of land use and the adjustment of the structure of land use.
