    Applying long-term statistic al data of cropland area,land use survey and relative so-cio-economic statistics of the Yangtze River Delta,this paper focuses on the tendency of crop-land area change and the probability of maintaining dynamic balance of its amount in the Yangtze River Delta from the point of view of the phases of cropland area change and their rela-tionships with the level of regional economic development.The analysis reveals that there are re-markable exponential correlations between the decrease in cropland area and increase in per capita gross domestic product(GDP)in the Yangtze River Delta.While per capita GDP is below12000RMB yuan,the economic growth has a great pressure on cropland area;while per capita GDP exceeds30000RMB yuan,the pressure of economic growth on cropland will gradually mitigated.At present,the Yangtze River Delta is experiencing the period of the rapid decrease in cropland area caused by the economic development,although the decrease rate is obviously be-low that of before1995.It is estimated that the pressure of economic development on cropland area will gradually mitigate after the year2004.From1998to2010,the cropland area will re-duce by5.5×10 4 ha according to the current investment intensity of land exploitation,it is possi-ble to maintain dynamic balance of cropland area in the Yangtze River Delta if the investment intensity of land exploitation cccould be doubled compared to the current investment level.

    Through subdividing the spatial changes of each land use type into three categories of components,i.e.,the unchanged part,the converted part and the newly-increased part,this paper finds out that the two existing models for measuring the rate of land use changes have serious limitations.The traditional quantity analysis model only considers the quantitative change of land use but completely neglects the spatial changes of land use.The GIS-based dynamic degree model would seriously underestimate the change rate of those land use with rapid growth,in par-ticular urban land use because it only takes the conversion process into account but neglects the spatial expansion process of land use change.Therefore,a new spatial analysis model is then pro-posed to modify those limitations and to improve the measuring precision.Secondly,the proposed spatial analysis model is applied in a detailed case study on land use change in urban fringe of Beijing and the measuring results from the3models are compared which substantially demon-strate that the proposed spatial analysis model can more precisely measure the dynamic change rate of land use.

    Due to the changing regime of the main stream runoff of the Yellow River and the in creasingly deteriorated ecological environment,the contradictions among water resources,eco-logical environment and economic development get quite acute in the areas along the Yellow River in Inner Mongolia,which are the main irrigated areas along the upstream s of the Yellow River and the greatest water consumed areas besides the others.This paper emphatically discuss-es the main causes that result in the problems of water utilization in the areas.The conclusions are that the main natural cause of the problems is the great reduction of the passing water of the Yellow River,and the anthropogenic factors are summed up into the following aspects:the irra-tional water use,se rious pollution of water environment,low efficiency of local economy,and single urban function.The authors propose two groups of countermeasures to alleviate the con-tradictions among water resources,ecological environment and economic development.One be-longs to short-term measures,such as the change of irrigative model,adjustment of water price,and the treatment of water environment al pollution.The other is the long-term strategies,includ-ing the constitutional innovation,the key technological breakthrough,the effect of urban driving,and the environmen tal construction.
