Abstract
With the stable development of new countryside construction, the changing of the landscape pattern in the Chinese countryside attracts more attention, especially in the ethnic townships which are hardly accessible. To explore the development of ethnic areas, it is crucial to understand the spatial and temporal variation of the landscape pattern. In this study, the landscape pattern change was analyzed at both patch type level and landscape level. The land use data (format: vector) got from Aerla Town (a typical Daur ethnic township in Inner Mongolia) for the duration from 2008 to 2013 was analyzed by ArcGIS platform and Fragstats. For the patch level, the grassland, farmland, and forestland turned into construction land gradually. Regarding the landscape level, the landscape diversity index and landscape connectivity index were relatively low, the heterogeneity index and the landscape fragmentation w ere relatively high, and the landscape fragmentation index was increasing. Then with considering the social and economic development in Aerla Town, the Pearson correlation analysis and grey correlation method are used to get the main driving force of landscape change. The results indicated that population changes and GDP growth were the main driving forces of landscape pattern change. Finally, the driving forces which resulted in the variation of landscape pattern incorporating the economic, cultural, policy, and natural effects were discussed. The research could provide basic information and a theoretical foundation for the development of minority areas in Northeast China.
