Comparative Study on Intensive Land Use Evaluation of Cities and Development Zones in China

Due to the different evaluation objects, there are differences in the expression of the concepts between the intensive land use evaluation of cities and that of development zones. But in China they share a common evaluation purpose, that is, to change the original extensive utilization to promote the tapping of existing potentials, prevent unreasonable expansion and to achieve the optimal allocation of land resource. In the evaluation indicator system, the intensive land use evaluation of cities focuses on the combination of social, economic and ecological benefits; however, the corresponding evaluation of development zones lays emphasis on economic benefits and the management performance of the development zone. As to the evaluation methods, Multi-objective Comprehensive Analysis Method is used most commonly, but there is a certain defect in determining ideal scores and weights. In addition, no matter how to express the evaluation results, it is difficult to achieve the regional comparison and time series analysis. Evaluation methods need to be further improved and innovated.
