中文摘要：

进入21世纪以来，土地利用研究在与土地管理实践的密切结合中扩展了学术影响，提高了学科地位。在土地利用的调查与监测、综合属性评价、规划与设计、变化与机制、工程与技术等方面取得长足的进展。基于发展态势的分析，本文提出应加强土地利用的基础理论研究、重视土地利用的方法体系研究、拓展土地利用的研究视角和深化研究内涵、强化土地利用的数据积累和整合能力等；根据国家在参与经济宏观调控、建设“两型社会”、保障食物安全等三方面对土地利用研究提出需求的基础上，阐述了土地利用研究的4个重点领域。

英文摘要：

Land use research has enhanced the academic status and the academic impact with the close combination of land management practices since the beginning of the 21st century. It has made great progress in the investigation and monitoring, comprehensive proper- ty evaluation, planning and design, change and mechanisms, engineering and technology of land use. In the analysis of development trend, the paper proposes some suggestions, namely, strengthening the basic theory, paying attention to the methods system, widening perspectives and deepening the connotation, and strengthening aggregation and integration capabilities in land use research. In accordance with national demands for land use of par- ticipation in the economic macro-control, construction of resource-saving and environmentfriendly society, as well as guarantee of food safety, the paper describes four priority areas on land use study. The study of land use change and mechanisms should focus on natural, economic and social factors on the coupling, as well as economic, social, technological development on the transformation of land use. The analysis of environmental impact and effects on land use should put emphasis on the interaction between economic and social development im- pact and the effects from land-use quantity, quality and ecological factors. The investiga- tion and monitoring of land use should be aided with digital survey and monitoring technology and methodology. The development and decision-making of land use information should be combined with the macro-economic decision model.
