Abstract:Based on the information entropy method, the structure and scale of urban construction land in Shandong province from 2006 to 2015 have been analyzed in this paper. By using principal component analysis, driving force mechanism of urban construction land has been carried out. It is showed that the scale of urban construction land in Shandong province has increased year by year, and there are big differences in space. The expansion of the eastern coastal economic cities is more significant. The information entropy of construction land is descending and then fluctuating slightly. The equilibrium degree also fluctuates, and the urban construction land in Shandong province is still in the development state. Economic development, population change, traffic and industrial structure are main driving factors influencing the dynamic change of urban construction land.
