Based on field investigation and social-economical data, in combination with the 1992 and 2007 Landsat TM remote sensing images of Coastal Urban Belt in Liaoning, this paper analyzed the driving forces of landscape pattern in the study area. From 1992 to 2007, the landscape pattern in the study area experienced a significant change. The rapid population growth, economic development and infrastructure construction had exerted strong influences on these changes of landscape pattern, and thus leading to a deeper level of landscape fragmentation

Based on field investigation and social-economical data, in combination with the 1992 and 2007 Landsat TM remote sensing images of Coastal Urban Belt in Liaoning, this paper analyzed the dynamic changes of landscape pattern at both class and landscape levels and their driving forces in the study area. From 1992 to 2007, the landscape pattern in the study area experienced a significant change. At class level, the area of farmland, forestland, wetland, grassland, and abandoned land decreased, while the area of residential area, salt pan, and water area increased. At landscape level, both total number of patches and patch density increased significantly, while the largest patch index decreased, and the complication of landscape shape intensified.

A large number of old coal mine, such as Xinglongzhuang coal mine, made a great contribution to local economic development and national construction. But, serious mining collapsing was caused also, and local people's livelihood has been affected seriously. The mining collapsing could be identified on remote sensing images by some characteristics. There were 4 period remote sensing data, which was acquired respectively in June 2009, April 2010, June 2011 and July 2012, and field investigation were applied in this articles to study these mining collapsing. The research suggests that the mining collapsing could be divided into the aged type, the middle aged type and the young type. There is a suggestion that, the monitoring and prevention works should be strengthened.

With the support of RS, GIS and FRAGSTATS techniques, the landscape pattern has been analyzed quantitatively in Dianchi basin by 16 commonly used landscape metrics, based on remote sensing images of 1988, 1990, 1994, 1999, 2002 and 2008. After performance of principal component analysis (PCA) on the 16 landscape metrics, three principal components (PCs) were generalized: spatial aggregation of landscape patches, landscape fragmentation and landscape diversity. Then, the characteristics and evolution of landscape pattern in Dianchi basin have been explored at the landscape level. The results showed, that, from 1988 to 1994, the landscape fragmentation was serious and the level of diversity was fluctuant. And for some kinds of landscape patches, the integrity was much undermined, the spatial distribution was scattered and the degree of aggregation was fallen. From 1994 to 2008, the degree of aggregation between patches increased gradually. The situation of landscape fragmentation was under control. And, the land use types had a tendency towards diversification and homogenization.

Simon Kuznets

Some economists argue that high population density and rapid population growth are not in themselves impediments to economic development. On the basis of a quantitative analysis of historical data, Simon Kuznets, for instance, concludes that, historically, rates of economic development have not significantly correlated, either positively or negatively, with rates of population growth. Similarly, E. E. Hagen observes that “nowhere in the world has population growth induced by rising income been sufficient to halt the rise in income. … The historical record indicates that rise in income in these societies has failed to occur not because something thwarted it, but because no force has been present to cause income to rise.

Venezuela has experienced significant economic development during recent decades, although rapid population growth has partially offset economic gains. During the five-year period 1969-1973, the gross national product increased at an annual rate of 5.0 percent, which, coupled with population growth, yielded real per capita increases of 2.6 percent annually. Relatively smooth transition in the nationalization of the Venezuelan oil industry in 1976 presents a favorable assessment for the economy during the next decade. Yet while there has been notable progress in conventional economic indicators, there have been less rapid improvements in education, nutrition, and health. This paper examines past trends in Venezuelan population growth within the context of general social and economic development. Because of the importance of fertility in affecting population growth, particular attention is paid to fertility trends.

Based on the TM remote sensing images in autumn 1992, 2001 and 2009, the land use change of Binhai New Area is analyzed through the ENVI software. During remote sensing images processed, Binhai New Area is collected according to the administrative zoning maps. The results of land use change are vegetation cover and water changing little, which show the ecological environment remained stable in overall Binhai New Area. At that time, the area of unused land and salt works area is reduced, and the area of land reclamation and construction sites is increased, which indicates the rapid economic development of Binhai new area in past 20 years.

Grassland Biodiversity

In this study, we sought to analyze the pressures of the grassland ecosystem in China and explore practical countermeasures to protect grassland biodiversity. The prominent ecological problems in grassland biodiversity conservation included rapid population growth, economic development, resource exploitation and global climate change, among which human interferences strongly influenced the grassland ecosystem. Rapid population growth and economic development still severely restricted biodiversity conservation, but coal resource exploitation gradually developed a new serious pressure for grassland biodiversity. In addition, climate change further aggravated biodiversity loss. According to these pressures, we proposed several practical countermeasures such as readjusting the industrial structure, and relieving the pressures of grassland, and conducting near-natural restoration as well as carrying out ecological compensation. This study will provide the scientific reference for manager and policy-makers of grassland biodiversity conservation.
