Abstract

Land is not only a major space for human production and living, but also one of the most precious resources to humans. As a space carrier of urban construction, urban land resources constitute the part with the highest asset benefit among land resources, offering an essential space for economic reproduction, population reproduction and environment reproduction in urban areas. To sum up, urban land resources are the material basis, guaranteeing sustainability of urban development.In this paper, changes of sustainability of land use in Zhengzhou City, Henan Province from 2011 to 2015 were analyzed so as to evaluate sustainability level of land use in Zhengzhou. Based on correlation analysis, resource, environment, economy and society were selected as four evaluation indexes, and their weights were determined. Then, the method of maximum was used to realize data normalization, and the comprehensive index value was computed. Finally, sustainability of Zhengzhou’s land use was comprehensively evaluated. Taken as a whole, sustainability of Zhengzhou’s land use was improving from 2011 to 2015, but the comprehensive sustainability level was still low, calling for further strengthening. From 2014 to 2015, the sustainability level of land use was still on the downward.
