中文摘要：

明清时期是四川地区发展史上最为重要的时期，这一时期诸多城池的修建掀起了一个城池建设的高潮。利用ArcGIS9．X平台，建立四川地区明清城池时空关联数据模型，并借助VBA二次开发功能动态可视地分析明清城池修建的时空序列特征。分析得出：在自然地理条件、政治与军事以及社会经济发展等因素的共同作用下，城池的修建主要集中于明朝的成化、天顺、正德和洪武年间，在空间上则集中分布于有较好用地条件且水陆交通便利的四川中部和南部地区。

英文摘要：

The Ming and Qing Dynasties are most important period of the development history in the Sichuan region, and many cities＇ construction had raised a climax too. Based on ArcGIS9. x, city＇s spatio-temporal data modal of the Ming and Qing dynasties has been built, and the features of spatio-temporal sequence of city＇s construction have been analyzed employing VBA. Under the action of geography, politics, socio-economy and other factors, the new cities were mainly constructed during the Ming Chenghua, Tianshun, Zhengde and Hongwu reigns, while these new cities were located at central and southern areas of Siehuan where there are better land conditions and better transportation.
