Abstract
Taking Zhongxiang City, Hubei Province, China as an example, evaluation index system of urban land intensive use is established from four aspects of land economic benefit, land utilization degree, investment intensity, and sustainable utilization. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used to determine the weight of evaluation index in research region. Taking the index numerical value of Hubei Province as the standard value, index value of the research region is evaluated. Combining with the index weight obtained by AHP, urban land intensive use is evaluated by the weighted average. Result shows that land intensive use level of Zhongxiang City is much lower than the average level of Hubei Province. Therefore, urban land of Zhongxiang City is of is great potential. Insufficient input is one of the major factors restricting the land use intensity, so the input in urban land of Zhongxiang City should be increased. Land use intensity of Zhongxiang City is relatively low and needs to be further improved. And land-use output of Zhongxiang City is also relatively low, especially that the land use efficiency of industry is far lower than the average level of Hubei Province. Besides, Zhongxiang City has a high sustainability of urban land use. But it still has a certain gap with the average level of Hubei Province.
