Abstract:
      Based on the late 1980s land use database and images in 2000~2005 of Xinjiang, the paper used mod-els and Markov Process to analyze the LUCC of Xinjiang in the past 15 years. The results are as follows: The area of farnland was increasing, and the increased scale was the biggest of all the land use types . Grassland was downward. Waters area was increasing, and the increased rate was going up. The forecast results of Markov Process show that since 2000, grassland and forest was increasing every year, but the farmland was decreasing. The dynamic changes of land use of Xinjiang were mainly caused by the policy change, economic development , population growth, advancement in agricul-tural technology and so on.
