Abstract:The coastal zone is a key area for implementing the strategy of land-sea integration and land space planning. This study utilizes the technical approach of combining remote sensing image processing and GIS, based on the landscape sub-dimension factor in the theory of ecology, and takes Quanzhou Bay as a typical empirical study to statistically compare the data of land use status of multi-temporal remote sensing images, and utilizes the MSS/TM/ETM remote sensing data of seven temporal phases since 1973 to monitor and investigate the landscape changes after the reclamation of Quanzhou Bay. Using the MSS/TM/ETM remote sensing data of seven-time phases since 1973, the study monitors and investigates the landscape changes after the reclamation of Quanzhou Bay estuary, introduces landscape sub-dimension indicators, quantitatively evaluates the landscape spatial and temporal change characteristics of the estuary after reclamation for 50 years, explore the main reasons affecting the changes of the coastline, and provide decisionmaking support for the understanding of the potential problems of the coastal zone, as well as summarize the quantitative evaluation methods and paths, and put forward a reference method of monitoring and quantitative evaluation of the natural resources of the national land space.
