Abstract

Landscape change is one of the main driving forces to modify the state of territorial socio-economic development, especially in the land use/landcover change in short-term. At the high and mountainous terrain, the analysis of its process is the basic step in the monitoring, managing, and planning of sustainable resource use. Based on the remote sensing technology, the information about LULC change at Van Chan district, Yen Bai province during the period of 2008-2017 is detailed in GIS environment. Additionally, the structural characteristics of seven objectives are measured through six landscape metrics show that (i) an increase in Plantation Forest area (2,664 ha) is the main reason of the decline in Natural Forest and Woodlands area (3,527.9 ha); (ii) the fastest rate of change is 392 ha/year of Natural Forest and Woodlands; and (iii) based on the quantitative results of landscape metric, the diversity trends of LULC change for each specific LULC. Moreover, the results provided an effective approach in analyzing the structural change of the landscape.
