Study On Urban Land Use And Spatial Morphological Evolution In Wuhu City

This paper discusses urban land use and spatial morphological evolution in Wuhu City. The time period of the study of urban land use is 1990s. On the analysis of the scale expansion feature and the feature in evolution of land use structure, the paper points out the rationality and existing problem in the evolution of urban land use. The paper may provide reference value for sustainable use of urban land and city development in the future. The second section analyses the changes of town site, historical processes of spatial morphological evolution and dynamic mechanisms. Wuhu City has a long history of 2500 years; it is born of the bank of Shui_yang River. It has an old name of Jiuzi. In the era of the Three kingdoms, it moved to the region of Jijmao Mountain. In Ming dynasty, Wuhu was still a small scale city in a point form. Then it developed towards the west along the Qing_yi River and formed a development axis. From the colonial period, Wuhu City began to develop along the Yangtze River. After liberation, it developed towards to the north and the east. In the late 1970s, the convenient communications between the north and the south of Qing_yi River precipitated the development of the southern bank. Now it mainly develops towards the southand the north. The spatial evolution of Wuhu City has a evident law--from thesmall inland river to the big inland river, then to the Yangtze River. From the four points of natural factor, communication, economic development and macro-control of government, this paper attempts to make a concise analysis of spatial evolution and give a forecast of the trend of spatial evolution in the future. In view of the current development situation of Wuhu city, this paper advises to apply new information technology to urban plan administration and urban land use plan.
