Studies on the Evolution of Use Patten of Lakeshores in Wuhan

Abstract

There are more than 100 lakes in the central districts of Wuhan, which can be listed as the top one in China. Although Wuhan is gifted with such natural resources, it is still ruined by some personal factors such as soil and water losses and urban expansion in lakeshore areas. In recent years, lake areas decreases, wild species are driven away because of the damage and solidification of lands, and lakes in Wuhan are facing unexpected great challenges. The thesis will employ ecological grid analysis and mathematics statistics analysis to make a research on the pattern of lakeshore land use in different years, and summarize principles for its evolution.
