| Abstract: |
| A pattern of static games of complete information was set up to analyze land use change of Mengcha Village in Mizhi County of Shaanxi Province based on farm household questionnaires from geography and economics perspectives.Through ways of GIS and GPS, land use spatial information was connected with farm households' social and economical behaviors characteristics.With maximizing benefits as the goal, new land use and household business patterns formed in the village, in which the minority of the households contracted rain-fed land for orchard, some contracted irrigable land, some gave up land completely and went out for hired working, while the majority worked for farming in busy seasons and went out for hired working in slack seasons.The new land use patterns achieved double-win effects both economically and ecologically. |
