Abstract: This article analyzed the spatial and temporal trends and the distribution characteristics of the population of 15 administrative districts in Xinjiang in 2000, 2005 and 2009, and researched the driving factors of the change of population, and then made the map of Xinjiang population density by GIS software. The result shows that the population of Xinjiang continues growing, population densities are largely different, and the spatial distribution of population is imbalanced. Then the article pointed that natural environment, economic level and the development of urbanization are the important factors to influence the change of population, and economic level plays an important role.
