Multi-scenario Prediction Simulation Analysis of Land Use in Weinan City based on the PLUS Model

Based on the Patch-generating Land use Simulation Model (PLUS), this paper comprehensively considers natural factors and socio-economic factors and selects seven driving factors. The spatio-temporal variation pattern and driving forces of land use in Weinan City from 2000 to 2020 were analyzed. Four scenarios, namely natural evolution, ecological protection, economic development and cultivated land protection, were set up to conduct a simulation analysis of land use in Weinan City in 2040.
