Abstract

This paper aims to detemine the change of land use and assess the relationship between these land use change with natural component of Thai Thuy district, Thai Binh province. Indipendent varians as land scape, soil, distance to coastline and coastline change are used to assess the relation to land use change in the study area. Land use change inperiod of 1965-2013 is extracted from satellite images combined with geographic maps.The characteristic of correlation of each natural component with land use change is defined by application of logistic regression method. The resultshows that the replacement between rice field and annual agricultural or mangrove and aquaculture are the main trend of change. The correlation intensity of each land use change class with each natural component is also presented in this paper.
