Abstract:

This paper studied the urban planning in Shenyang-Fushun metropolitan area under 3 scenarios using SLEUTH model. The results showed that the low ecological protection scenario resulted in rapid urban sprawl and area decrease of farmland, forest, and other landscape types. The stringent ecological protection scenario well kept compact urban growth pattern and led to low occupation on other landscape types, but urban growth rate was limited in conflict with the regional economic development. The moderate ecological protection scenario is recommended for future development of this area if the diffused urban growth pattern is further controlled.

Key words: urban spatial pattern, spatial dynamic model, SLEUTH, regional landscape change, scenario planning
