    Urban land use sprawl,as a form of urbanization,can reflect the development of a city to a certain degree. By interpreting remote sensing images of 1976,1989,1995,1998,1999,2000 and 2004,this paper analyses the spatial and temporal characteristics of the area changes of the major built-up area in Nanchang. In addition,the driving forces for its urban land use sprawl are discussed. It is found,temporally,the course of the urban land use sprawl can be divided into three stages of steady increase (1976~1995),slow growth(1995~1998) and speedy development(1998~2004). Spatially,the sprawl in the main built-up area of Nanchang was inducted by transport condition and was restricted by the Ganjiang River. The farming area was influenced mostly by the urban land sprawl. Besides,as there are Ganjiang River beside of the Nangchang city and many lakes inside and outside of it,the phenomenon that the waters area was taken up was also distinct. Population,industrial development,use of foreign investment and policy constitute the soft-environmental factors impacting the urban land sprawl. According to the research on industrial development in central part of China,Nangchang is in its industrialization intermediate stage. Hence,the urban land use sprawl of it would last a long time. Besides,the orientation of the sprawl was affected by where the city is locatesd according to the transport and the natural conditions to varying degrees.

    Soil organic carbon (SOC) storage is an important parameter of soil environmental quality, and agriculture soil is easy to be interfered by human activities and also could be adjusted in a short time scales. The ongoing land-use changes in developed area in China have important influence on SOC (soil organic carbon) sequestration. In this research we take Wujiang County as a case, evaluated the influence of land-use changes on the soil carbon sequestration ability in the paddy fields. The land use classification in Wujiang County from 2000 to 2005 were conducted by a new methodology that integrates 8-day composite images (500-m and 250-m spatial resolution) from the moderate resolution imaging spectro-radiometer (MODIS) sensor with Landsat data. The maximum likelihood classification (MLC) method was used to conduct TM/ETM images classification. The vegetation index (NDVI, EVI) and land surface water index (LSWI) mask method was used to conduct MODIS images classification. The land use class map and the density of soil organic carbon (SOC) data from the 2nd State Soil Survey and the nationwide arable soil monitoring system (NASMC) along with county-level soil reconnaissance data were further used to calculate the soil carbon sequestration ability. The result showed that irrigation-based rice cultivation in the study area has induced significant enrichment of SOC storage in paddy soils. But carbon sequestration ability tended to decline over the most recent six years due to decreasing in paddy area and shifting to other land uses. The paddy soils have switched from carbon sink to carbon source since 2001. The total SOC sequestration in 0-15cm soils in 1984, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005 were 107×103t,9.2×103t,-8.0×103t, -21.2×103t,-49.2×103t,-41.6×103t and -49.4×103t respectively. The results of this study suggested that land use changes have a great influence on topsoil carbon (C) sequestration, particularly on C stocks and C sequestration potential in paddy fields in developed areas of China.

    The coastal zone is the belt influenced from land and ocean interactions,as well as human factors.So its evolution depends not only on natural factors but also on human socio-economic activities.It has very good instructive meaning to provide timely accurate coastal zone changes information for exploiting and protecting the coast and studying its ecological footprint.Using 12 periods remote sensing images covering 20 years from 1984 to 2004 of Longkou city,this paper extracted the coastline,the high tidal line and the low tidal line from different years utilizing different methods and techniques of data image processing and visual interpretation based on the characteristic of each RS image and checked up the extracted tide information with the tide data from two tide monitoring stations.On the basis of contrasting with the base line,the paper analyzed the law of the costal zone changes in both spatial and temporal aspects,and then discussed the major influential factor to the changes by analyzing natural and artificial factors.The results indicated that in addition to the artificial seashore,the general trend of the coastal zone evolution in the 20 years was moving to sea during the former 10 years and moving to land during the latter 10 years,and the changing extent was on the increase year after year.The protection against the tide came down by reason of the bank turning narrow and low,the tideland turning broad,and the gradient turning gentle.It was clear that human activity had great impacts directly and indirectly on the costal zone evolution.The most fundamental activities included infrastructure construction in the nearshore zone,the adjustment of the agricultural structure,and the unordered development of the sand dredging industry.The natural factors had been also found affecting the evolution of the zone,such as shore cutting and deposition,sea-water intrusion,etc.

    Recent works on spectral band selection include two separate tasks: feature band selection and redundancy reduction. But due to the characteristic of hyperspectral data,it is not sufficient for joint entropy algorithm to select feature bands which aim at dimensionality reduction,for the band combination results it selected are in a series of space. To solve this problem,a new approach based on auto-subspace partition (ASP) was proposed. In this approach the subspace of all bands was dependent on correlation coefficient matrix among all bands,and from that we can get the relations among different bands about its spectral characteristic. In ASP,firstly,all bands were divided into different subspaces according to correlation coefficient matrix,then the optimal bands combination was selected using joint entropy algorithm respectively in different subspaces. The band combination results which were derived from our proposed approach were compared with those from joint entropy algorithm in the experiments. It has shown that the approach we proposed works better than the conventional joint entropy algorithms on hyperspectral data.

    A new biorthogonal wavelet fusion algorithm was developed based on the absolute values of the difference of local area of the images. The algorithm was applied to the images of TM and JERS-1 SAR. The algorithm has stronger ability to describe the digital images' details and to compound the images' information than traditional wavelet fusion algorithms,and it needs less computation than those based on variance. It is a better way to preserve the spectral feature and detailed information than those algorithms of the PCA fusion,multiplicative fusion and Brovey fusion. The results of experiment show that the algorithm is highly flexible and practical.

    Spatial autocorrelation is a very general statistical property of spatial variables, it indicates correlation of a variable with itself through space. Spatial association rule mining, discovery of interesting, meaningful rules in spatial databases, ignores autocorrelation of spatial data, or just generalizes the spatial data into attribute data currently. In most of the ways on spatial association rules mining, they transferred the spatial relations into non-spatial relations by virtue of spatial analysis. This means the separation of spatial autocorrelation from spatial association rule mining. In order to study the relations between spatial autocorrelation and spatial association rule mining, in this paper, the spatial association rules were mined by developed Apriori algorithm. Then, spatial autocorrelation analysis was implemented in the same spatial data set. A basic assumption of many spatial association rules mining is lacking for a priori information about spatial attributes. The two dimensional spatial autocorrelation results were used as priori knowledge in spatial association rules mining in this paper. The experimental data is about the amount of the hay fever (disease caused by pollen allergic rhinitis) patients and its factors, including temperature, precipitation and vegetation types of each county in the United Kingdom in 2000. The obtained frequent itemsets and the spatial association rules prove that factors have stronger correlation with hay fever (correlation coefficient is lager) appear with hay fever simultaneously more frequently in the spatial database, which confirms the existence of the effects that spatial autocorrelation has on spatial association rule mining. The analysis results not only point out the relation between spatial autocorrelation and spatial association rule mining, but also provide priori knowledge in the process of spatial association rule mining, making the mining process more targeted. Besides, without calculating the Cartesian in developed Apriori algorithm, spatial autocorrelation analysis can get the correlation coefficients efficiently, making the mining process more effectively. Further work would focus on how to evaluate the effects of the spatial autocorrelation on spatial association rules mining, how to find out the candidate frequent spatial itemsets from the results of spatial autocorrelation analysis in practical application.

    River network is a kind of natural fractal. It has become more and more popular in deriving basin characteristics from DEM. The Jinjiang River basin is selected as a study area. The river networks are extracted from DEM at a scale of 1∶100 000 with ten different minimum river lengths varying from 30m to 1 500m. The extraction is based on the function of the ArcGIS8.3 and ArcVIEW3.2 which can get much more information of the dimensions of the river networks. The fractal dimensions of the river networks is investigated by the box counting method firstly,and then the relationships between different minimum river lengths and fractal dimensions based on DEM are discussed. It depicts that there is a critical minimum river length for the determination of the fractal dimension of a river network. The value of the Jinjiang River basin is 150m. The results also show that methods of both box counting method and the Horton's Law are feasible to study the fractal dimensions and it is revealed that the evolution of physiognomy in the Jinjiang River basin is in its initial stage.

    At present,the air quality simulation has become a main concern in environmental research.The article mainly presents method to the structure simulation system for urban air quality based on spatial analysis model of GIS,especially discussing the integration and application of air quality model in detail by taking Fuzhou City as an example. Air quality simulation integration system comprises three sub-systems of air-pollution spatial data base,air-quality model system,and analysis and mapping system,primarily simulating mean concentration distribution of air pollutants on urban local scale.Of the three sub-systems,air quality model system is the core of the whole simulation system integrating emission,dispersion and photochemical transformation models of three kinds of air pollution sources of point,line and area.Area-source model and photochemical transformation model of air pollutants are two important breakthroughs.Area-source model which is built based on spatially finite difference method can efficiently simulate emission and dispersion from various agricultural land uses including grassland and woodland besides urban low-point sources and resident lives.Photochemical transformation model structured on the basis of O3-NOX system is integrated into dispersion model of point source,line source and area source,which significantly improve the simulation precision of NO2 and indirectly solve concentration field simulation of a second pollutant of O3. Because dispersion process of pollution sources is simulated on the basis of Quasi-stability Gauss Pattern,the application of urban air-quality modeling system must meet three premises: 1) air sources emit continuously;2) pollution dispersion is independent of circumfluence from street canyon;and 3) only three time series of two traffic summits and one non-summit are simulated within a single day.

    The impacts of cloud, fog, and rain greatly increase the complexity of data acquisition for earth observation, which has resulted in the lack of remote sensing data in multi-sphere monitoring, in particular the continuity, currency, accuracy, and usability of those data. In the history of the Earth observation system, the cloudy and rainy environment has been the bottle-neck for monitoring the land and ocean surface. Only after implementing the all-weather and continual observation on the cloudy and rainy areas, our country can form a real comprehensive system of remote sensing applications. In this paper we propose the concept of cloud-prone and rainy areas remote sensing (CARRS) and introduce the progress in related studies in this field in order to encourage inter-disciplinary research to tackle the "bottle-neck" problem and to advance new theories and methods on the Earth observation system for cloudy and rainy areas.

    Metropolitan region, which symbolizes the human civilization, is gradually formed by the long-term interactions of both natural and social factors. Especially in China, development of metropolitan regions has become one of the most significant strategies for its future regional planning. Moreover, it is believed that the latest trend for regional development should be spatial structure adjustment in order to increase the economic benefits, as global economy competition becomes even more striking than ever before. Currently, lots of metropolitan regions on our backland successively form and grow; the number of which almost comes to 30, including the three well-known entities, i.e., the Yangtze River Delta metropolitan region, the Pearl River Delta metropolitan region and the Beijing -Tianjin -Hebei metropolitan region. However, those experiences from worldwide metropolitan regional development show that it will be a natural principle that large amount of people and investment pour into super port-cities and bring through non-equilibrium of regional economic growth and dependence on the coastal areas. Therefore the planning and development of metropolitan regions should observe such a principle of social and economic development. The formation of metropolitan regions goes through long time history accumulation. When it was in agricultural times, these regions were inner ports containing large population and dense river networks. When it was in industrial times, they were outer ports connecting the world. When in current information times, they are developing towards modern airports and information ports. Only all sorts of ports integrated can they possess the whole functions of world-class free ports. It is the ultimate goal of regional economic development. From the view of the geo-economy, the metropolitan regions generally have obvious regional economic superiority and leading effect of the financial center, ahd occupy absolute proportion of GDP. Along with the unceasing expansion of commuter circles and capturing of the continental heartland, the metropolitan regions have broken the spatial -temporal distribution pattern of the administrative divisions, impelled the regional economic reorganization and promoted it to develop towards the transnational economy. The development of metropolitan regions is of extreme imbalance and each has its own characteristics, but generally exhibits similar development phases and regularities in regional heterogeneous pattern. Of the three big metropolitan regions, analyzed from the geographical location, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei metropolitan region has the humanities superiority; the Pearl River Delta region which adjoins the international metropolis Hong Kong, has the location superiority in Asia; and the Yangtze River Delta region has the potential of "butterfly effect", which unfolds the global charm to attract the whole world. Interior cities within the metropolitan regions also compete for key city intensely with each other. Since the differences in economic development level, development opportunity, location superiority and human factor exist, in order to enhance the metropolitan regional cohesive force and competitive power, overall planning should be made and different measures should be identified under the guidance of scientific development concept of mutual supplement of each city and surmounting their respective obstacles in the process of development. Dynamic monitoring with high-resolution satellite remotely sensed images reveals that these metropolitan regions have some common fault such as heat island effect, inversion layer air pollution, groundwater funnel, land subsidence, sea water invasion and green space insufficiency. In addition, researches indicated that these regions are extremely weak on emergency reaction. Considering the strong mutual dependence of industrial structure and the production process inside the metropolitan regions, in the planning and developing process of metropolitan regions, it should be kept in mind that early warning mechanism and emergency solutions should be established aiming at the serious environmental situation, and guaranteeing the sustainable development of metropolitan regions.

    Aiming at the urban management cases of Beijing Dongcheng District, this paper pointed out that lagged information transmission, inactive governmental response, ambiguous allocation of responsibilities among specialized government departments, inaccurate application of management approaches, absence of effective supervision and evaluation mechanism are the main problems in the former urban management practice. Based on 100×100 m2 management grids, with an integrated application of computer technology, network technology, GIS and mobile communication technology etc., we created a brand new urban management model, namely 100×100 m2 grid management model, which solved all the problems at one stroke and realized accurate, efficient, full-time and full-space urban management.
