We then conducted research on land use change of Jiangyin andShunde in different periods through a pixel-to-pixel overlay of landuse maps. This paper focuses on the change of non-agriculturalland in the peri-urban area. By applying indices of landscapeecology, including percentage of landscape, number of patches,mean patch size, landscape shape index, landscape fragmentationdegree, we further analyzed the characteristics of non-agriculturalland use change in the peri-urban areas of Jiangyin andShunde.
