Abstract:In order to deeply study the law of land use/land cover change in Rizhao city, by using the model of recurrent neural network, land use/land cover from 2019 to 2023 has been classified. Based on the classification results, the relationship between various driving factors and land use/cover change have been studied and analyzed. It is showed that the cyclic neural network performs well in processing remote sensing image data. The overall accuracy of the 5 year testing has exceeded 92%, and the Kappa coefficient is over 0.84. Moreover, in terms of driving force analysis, urbanization rate, GDP and general public bud get expenditure factors have a significant impact on land use/land cover change in Rizhao city. It has changed the distribution and use of land resources. The research results not only reveal the farreaching influence of urbanization and economic growth on land use/land cover in Rizhao city, but also provide valuable references for land management and planning in the future.
