博士 === 國立臺北大學 === 都市計劃研究所 === 103 === Land-use/land-cover change is of priority concern in the field of global change research. The land-use/land-cover project (LUCC) is the most comprehensive in analyzing land-use/land-cover change, as it identifies the determinants, driving forces and interaction relation of land-use/land-cover change. Traditional research of land cover/land use change sets has focused on the spatial units of parcels or grids for analysis and simulation. Since the change of individual land use is affected by surrounding land uses, there is another possibility for exploring land use change in terms of spatial patterns. The research assumes that three tiers of spatial scales as system, pattern and parcel existed in the nature environment, and it will be used to explore variety sets of land use/cover by scales. This study applies indicators of landscape metrics to analyze pattern characteristics of urban structure, and cluster analysis and discriminant analysis to identify the type of spatial pattern. This study also attempts to analyze land use patterns and their changes by metric analysis with patch-corridor-matrix structure. The process includes three phases. The first phase is to explore categories of land use patterns and attributes by cluster analysis. The second phase is to analyze pattern changes with different periods and to identify properties of pattern changes in the whole system. The final phase is to classify the pattern changes and to look for the relation between different patterns. Through analysis of pattern changes, it would be helpful to understand urban development in relation to landscape metrics and to offer new thinking that differs from traditional views of urban development.
