Abstract
The model of Dynamics of Land System (DLS) is a collection of programs that simulates pattern changes in land uses by conducting scenario analysis of the area of land use change. Results reveal the driving mechanisms of land use change and simulate the balance between supply and demand of land at the pixel level (Deng et al., 2008). The model analyzes causes of the dynamics of land use patterns, simulates the process of land use changes, and assists land use planning and land management decisions (Deng et al., 2010a). The DLS model can export a macroscopic pattern changes map of land uses at high spatial and temporal resolution by estimating the effects of driving factors of spatial pattern changes, formulating land use conversion rules and scenarios of land use change and simulating dynamic spatiotemporal processes of land use changes. Driving factors include natural environmental conditions, socioeconomic factors and land use management policies, all of which are closely linked to pattern changes in land uses (Lambin et al., 2001; Lambin et al., 2003; Haberl et al., 2004; Burgi et al., 2004; Aguiar et al., 2007; Turner II et al., 2007; Veldkamp and Verburg, 2004; Verburg, 2006).
