The Research Of Development And Change Of Land Use In Changchun Urban Fringe

How cities form and develop has been a reflection of human civilization. The process of urbanization has started when the first city appeared. The inexorable law of urban development goes from medieval-small-city civilization to industrial-big-city civilization, and finally to small-town civilization, which is the advanced stage of human civilization development. In the20th century, however, urban development patterns showed a worrying acceleration of growth in geographical expansion, which indicated an accelerating development of urbanization. This happens a lot especially in developing countries. In order to ensure rapid economic development, government needs to introduce investment by expanding the size of city, and this leads to the sprawl of urban construction. Currently speaking, there remains stable border for most urban central zone. For urban fringe zone, on the other hand, there are still many kinds of economic and social contradictions concentrated. This not only comes from its crossover among different districts or the unique population, economic and social structure in urban fringe, but also because of the inappropriate land use in this particular zone. As one of the mega-cities in China, Changchun has a fast speed of urban expansion. Research on land use of urban fringe in Changchun City could provide reference for other Chinese big cities.
