Meanwhile the analysis of urban development can also provide scientifically and effective information for decision-making. With the long-term Defense Meteorological Satellite Program’s Operational Linescan System(DMSP/OLS) nighttime light images, a pixel level assessment of urbanization of China from 1992 to 2013 was conducted in this study, and the spatio-temporal dynamics and future trends of urban development were fully detected. The results showed that the urbanization and urban dynamics of China experienced drastic fluctuations from 1992 to 2013, especially for those in the coastal and metropolitan areas. From a regional perspective, it was found that the urban dynamics and increasing trends in North Coast China, East Coast China and South Coast China were much more stable and significant than that in other regions. Moreover, with the sustainability estimating of nighttime light dynamics, the regional agglomeration trends of urban regions were also detected. The light intensity in nearly 50% of lighted pixels may continuously decrease in the future, indicating a severe situation of urbanization within these regions. In this study, The results revealed in this study can provided a new insight in long time urbanization detecting and is thus beneficial to the better understanding of trends and dynamics of urban development.展开更多
城市群时空演变过程研究对优化城市群空间结构及促进城市间协调发展均具有重要意义。以1992—2013年DMSP/OLS夜间灯光数据为数据源,综合利用地理信息系统(geographic information system,GIS)空间分析技术、城市位序-规模法则、城市空...城市群时空演变过程研究对优化城市群空间结构及促进城市间协调发展均具有重要意义。以1992—2013年DMSP/OLS夜间灯光数据为数据源,综合利用地理信息系统(geographic information system,GIS)空间分析技术、城市位序-规模法则、城市空间扩展速率指数及标准差椭圆等方法对环渤海城市群时空演变过程进行研究,结果表明:①1992—2013年间,该城市群各城市夜间灯光总量均呈显著增长,整体增长率为135.89%;②随时间推移,该城市群中心城市对周边地区的辐射带动作用逐步增强,城市规模分布由不均衡状态向均衡状态转变;③该城市群空间扩展呈中心城市圈层化特征,演变格局表现为由西向东,由北向南的趋势,重心向西南方向偏移,空间范围呈扩张态势。研究可为环渤海及我国其他城市群时空演变研究提供方法借鉴与数据支持。展开更多
