Abstract

It is important to discuss the mechanism between the household land use behavior and the agriculture landscape pattern. This research is helpful to understand the transition of the household behavior, and comprehend the evolution process and characteristics of the landscape pattern. Making use of the cadastral data and parcel area of 2007 and 2008 of the Mengcha village, this paper uses the household land use decision-making mode and the weight-influence mode to research the relationship between the dominant land use decision-making and the dominant landscape pattern. From our study and analysis, a number of observations and conclusions can be drawn on the implementation: 1) the dominant land use decision-making must not produce the dominant landscape pattern by this land use decision type; and 2) The whole household dominant land use decision-making in this year must not produce the dominant landscape pattern by this land use decision type in the next year. Our future research work will focus on the following aspects: 1) in order to improve the individual land use decision-making mode, the mode should involve the risk adverse factor, the crop rotation factor and the special land use type transition rule factor; and 2) it is necessary to research the integrated method which consider the land use parcel area and the individual land use decision-making comprehensively.
