Abstract: In order to provide scientific guidance for the construction of eco-regions, and promote the healthy and sustainable development of social economy, based on the 1995, 2005 and 2013 three period survey of land use data of Suzhou industrial park, the author utilized ArcGIS and FRAGSTATS software, the methods of landscape pattern indices and land use transfer matrix, to make quantitative analysis of landscape pattern characteristics of patch class level and landscape pattern level, and study the dynamic change and characteristic of land use type conversion. The results of calculation showed as following: (1) from 1995 to 2013, landscape pattern index changed greatly, dominant landscapes were cultivated land in 1995, while dominant landscapes became urban construction land in 2013. (2) The cultivated land and urban construction land had the largest change in 18 years. The reduction of cultivated land was 83.47%. The growth of urban construction land was 192.52%. (3) As to land use transfer, cultivated land decreased apparently while urban construction land increased sharply. Reduced cultivated land was mainly converted into construction land and orchard land while increased urban construction land mainly came from cultivated land and unused land. (4) The present characteristics on the overall level of landscape were increased fragmentation, reduced concentration of the landscape, increased splitting index and enhanced landscape diversity. Research indicates that combining landscape indices with land use transfer matrix model can effectively analyze the pattern and process of the land use, and guide the construction of eco-regions scientifically.
