城市的扩张与道路交通的发展是相辅相成的。道路建设造成了城市景观的破碎化,使城市景观呈现不同的空间格局和空间异质性特征,并且这种空间异质性随着时间的变化而发生改变。在RS和GIS技术的支持下,利用1989、1999和2008年的Landsat TM/ETM+数据,以南京市为例对道路交通网络与城市土地利用之间关系进行了不同层次和尺度的空间分析。结果表明:1989~2008年近20a来,南京市城市空间形态扩展迅速,建设用地面积从1989年的100.3km2增加到2008年的684.7km2;在不同时期,南京市城市化过程表现出不同的道路交通网络结构和城市空间扩展模式;由道路交通建设造成的局部区域的景观破碎度在一定程度上能够反映周边区域的土地利用强度;土地利用强度和由道路交通建设造成的景观破碎度均表现出显著的空间自相关性,随时间推移,这种特征愈加明显,并且二者在表征城市空间拓展方面具有较高的耦合度;受其他辐射中心的作用,交通干线周边地区土地利用强度并未表现出距离指数衰减效应。
China has been undergoing rapid urbanization in the past two decades. As the same time, drastic changes that highway length and density increased by several times has taken place in the road traffic. The development of road traffic plays a facilitative role in urbanization while urbanization will promote transportation construction in turn. However, road development also brings a series of problems such as landscape fragmentation. Landscape fragmentation caused by road construction is a phenomenon that roads divide the lands into isolated parcels. Generally, landscape fragmentation caused by road building will be aggravated with urban expansion. Therefore, it is important to understand the relationship between road traffic and urbanization. Based on RS and GIS technology, Landsat TM/ETM+ data were used to carry out multi--level spatial statistical analysis from 1989 to 2008 in Nanjing. The results showed that, the structures and spatial forms of traffic network and urban areas varied in different periods. From 1989 to 1999, a disordered construction took place as a result of rapid urban development. The boundaries of urban space became complex while fractal dimension of traffic network declined. On the other hand, from 1999 to 2008, subject to the increasingly stringent city planning, boundaries of urban space tended to be compact and regular, as. well as structures of traffic network grew mature and stable. To some extent, fragmentation due to the road construction can reflect the intensity of urbanization. Degree of fragmentation and urbanization intensity showed significant spatial dependence, and this phenomenon appeared to be more obvious with time. Besides, as they both represented spatial expansion of the city, they showed a strong resemblance. In the area with a high degree of urbanization, the influences of artery traffic on the urban land use did not show the trend that power of influence diminishes with distance decreasing. Conversely, the urban land use intensity did not appear to be different with
