Abstract: The study analyzed the change of land use structure in Shandong Province in order to provide a scientific basis for ecological environment protection, land management decision-making and social economic development. Variations in land use of different periods and different land types, including cultivated land, garden land, grassland, water area, urban and rural residential and industrial and mining land, traffic land and unutilized land, were analyzed based on the data from 1997 to 2008 with the help of mathematical models. The results indicated that the changing rate of unutilized land and cultivated land decreased significantly from 1997 to 2008. However, the most significant increasing land type was water area. The dynamic degree of land use change was 0.96% . Water area, traffic land and unutilized land changed more significantly, and their dynamic degree were 25.85% , 2.26% and - 2.14% , respectively. Moreover, the relative change rate of cultivated land, garden land, grassland and unutilized land of every city in Shandong Province was different. The results indicated that the regional difference of land use change in Shandong Province was obvious. The research revealed the special- temporal characteristics of land use change in Shandong Province and had a great significance on sustainable utilization of land and coordinated development of human and land.
