Abstract
This paper presents an index system and a method for calculating the comprehensive index of land-use degree. The latest data from two projects titled “Remote Sensing Macro Investigation and Dynamic Study of National Resources and Environment” and “Resources and Environment Database of China” have been fully applied. In addition, this paper analyzes the regularity of the regional differentiation of land-use degree in China and the socio-economic and physical factors which affect the change of land-use degree in China. The “polar” model and the “longitude-distance” model of land-use degree of China are also developed.
