Abstract: To reveal the landscape pattern development and change of land use and rationally utilize land in Huangshi City, Hubei Province, the Landsat remote sensing images of 2004, 2011 and 2016 were selected to analyze the land use change of various types of land by adopting the theory of landscape ecology and the technology of GIS. The number of patches, patch density, aggregation index, the largest patch index, landscape shape index, contagion index, Shannon diversity index, and Shannon evenness index were selected to study the landscape pattern of Huangshi City in recent 15 years. The results showed that the area of farmland and construction land increased, the area of woodland and water area basically remained unchanged, the number of bare land decreased, the landscape connectivity weakened, the fragmentation increased, the complexity of landscape pattern increased, and the landscape pattern was aggravated by human activities.
