Abstract:Through study on yearbook from 2009 to 2012 of 9 cities and 3 counties in Linyi city, and 11 indexes related to statistical data in change survey, with the help of MATLAB7.0 software, using BP artificial neural network algorithm, land use intensive degree of all cities and counties from 2009 to 2012 have been calculated. By using prediction function of BP artificial neural network, annual land use intensity values in 2013 and in 2014 have been forecasted. It is showed that the average level of land use intensive degree in Linyi city is gradually developing from extensive utilization to moderate intensive utilization. Land use in Lanshan district has been highly intensived, and intensive degree is the first in Linyi city; while land use in Luozhuang district is moderate intensive, but is developing stablely. It is expected that the land use in Linyi city will be moderate intensive utilization even intensive utilization but Feixian county and Mengyin county by the end of 2014.
