Based on remotely sensed data of land use change with a spatial resolution of 1 km × 1 km on national scale among every 5 years, this paper designed a new dynamic regionalization according to the comprehensive characteristics of land use change including regional differentiation, physical, economic, and macro-policy factors as well. Spatial pattern of land use change and its driving forces were investigated in China in the early 21 st century. To sum up, land use change pattern of this period was characterized by rapid changes in the whole country. Over the agricultural zones, e.g., Huang-Huai-Hai Plain, the southeast coastal areas and Sichuan Basin, a great proportion of fine arable land were engrossed owing to considerable expansion of the built-up and residential areas, resulting in decrease of paddy land area in southern China. The development of oasis agriculture in Northwest China and the reclamation in Northeast China led to a slight increase in arable land area in northern China. Due to the ＂Grain for Green＂ policy, forest area was significantly increased in the middle and western developing regions, where the vegetation coverage was substantially enlarged, likewise. This paper argued the main driving forces as the implementation of the strategy on land use and regional development, such as policies of ＂Western Development＂, ＂Revitalization of Northeast＂, coupled with rapidly economic development during this period.展开更多

The education must have a certain lead. Here are the opinions about textile high education of 21st century. 1 The specifies of textile industry today and the requirements of textile high education (1) Textile industry is still a pillar industry of China and its export earnings occupy about 30％ in total of China every year, being the firs! one in all of the industries, the profits tax offizringto state rinancc is about 10% in the country. Howevcr, thedcvelopmentoftextile in dustry will bc changed greatly in the future, especially the configuration of the export products will be lcd in the direction of end-products, and thc proportion of direct export also will be increased in foreign trade. In next century, China will become one of the textile and apparel centers in the world. So, the textile education must foster and train various talcntcd persons for the textile industry to meet the requirement of future.展开更多
