Abstract: As regional land ecological security issues being increasingly prominent, the research of land ecological security has become the forefront topic in the field of sustainable utilization of land resource. Through the index and analysis of relevant literatures, the author systematically evaluated the research progress at home and abroad on land regional ecological security in China. Overall, land ecological security evaluation had evolved from single factor, static study to integrated, dynamic research, from the mathematical evaluation model to the space evaluation model. The research fields were mainly focused on arid areas in northwest, farming-pastoral zones, urban areas, watersheds and other sensitive areas, the research methods were to adopt mathematical model, ecological model, landscape ecology model and 3S technology, insufficiently at basic theory and comparative study of typical areas. The research difficulty lay in that how to define the evaluation index system and safety threshold. On that basis, the author prospected the future research orientations to provide methodological and references for further research on land ecological security evaluation.
