Abstract
Land is an essential part of the resources that can be used by humans, and all global issues of population, resources and environment are closely related to the scarcity of land resources. As the population grows, human activities impose ever greater impact on the use of land, and the issue of “population, resources and environment” grows more and more striking. Therefore, the sustainable use of land is the physical foundation for sustainable economic development in the future and a necessary requisite to the sustainable development of mankind. However, it is difficult to pick a suitable indicator for land use.
