土地利用/ 土地覆被变化(LUCC)是全球环境变化的重要原因，土地利用变化驱动力研究被认为是LUCC研究的焦点，区域土地利用变化驱动力研究旨在从典型区域角度揭示土地利用变化背后的真正动因及其作用机理。目前, 对于土地利用变化中的民族文化因素研究较少。本项目拟以宁夏同心县和盐池县为研究区，采用3S技术、社会文化学、社会经济统计学及相关分析等方法，以遥感影像和调查数据为数据源，分析自然因素、人为因素和民族文化对土地利用变化的贡献程度，深入研究回、汉民族文化对土地利用变化的影响，探讨在不同时期回汉民族文化对土地利用变化影响的深度和广度，揭示回、汉民族文化对土地利用变化影响的机制，以期为土地利用变化动因研究提供新的途径；同时，研究成果将为干旱区土地利用和生态环境保护与修复提供指导与借鉴，具有较强的科学意义和现实意义。

Land use and land cover change (LUCC) is a major part and also a main cause of global environmental changes,and the driving force was considered the core issue research of LUCC change. The main objective of studying regional land use change drivers is to reveal the real motivation behind the land use change and its interacting mechanism in the aspect of the typical region. Though human factors as attitude and value are important driving forces of land use changes, their role played in land use changes has not yet beenfurther study. Especially, there is hardly academic research on how the national culture impact on land use change. In respects to its unique geographical and cultural landscapes, the Tongxing country where main living Hui national people and Yanchi country where main living Han national people in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region are the representative region for the study. Therefore, this study takes Tongxing country and Yanchi country as study area, the main concern of the study is devoted to the effects of Hui and Han national cultural to land use change by using data derived from 1978 to 2012 images and survey data. Based on the "3S" technology ，sociology culture，socioeconomic statistics ，and survey analysis method, we not only attempt to analyze the dynamic change form the structure of quantity and spatial change of land use in study region, but also explain the interrelation between this change of Land Use and social economic and nature factors. Furthermore, according to the viewpoint of Humanism, we main try to explore the depth and breadth of the Hui and Han national cultural impacts at different times back to the land use change. At the same time, the contribution of land use will be analyzed by natural factors, human factors, and national cultural. In this study, the results expected to provide a new way to land use change research on the driving forces. Also, the results will provide a great scientific and practical significance on eco-environmental conservation of arid areas landuse.
