50 Regional Difference of Land Use in Coastal Zone of the Bohai Sea

In this paper, CBERS CCD remote sensing images obtained in 2007 were employed to survey land use in 5km coastal zone of 13 regions around the Bohai Sea. Some assessment indicators, such as main type index, main level index and land use intensity index were established to assess the land use characteristics in these regions. The result shows there exist great regional differences in land use structure in 13 coastal regions around Bohai Sea. Some regions such as Huludao coastal zone and Yantai coastal zone are typical agricultural landscapes. Cangzhou coastal zone is typical fish pool landscape , while Weifang coastal zone and Binzhou coastal zone, together with their transition zones, are typical salt lake landscape.
