Abstract

Based on the research from the time scale from 1997 to 2008, we aim to study the coastal wetlands’ dynamic changes in Zhuhai City. Taking the 1997, 2000, 2004, and 2008 images as the information sources, in combination with other survey data and the support of the geographic information system, a landscape classification system for Zhuhai City was set up and related landscape information was extracted. On that basis, we select some socio-economic indicator of Zhuhai City. With the help of statistic software of SPSS and using canonical correlation analysis, we proclaim the correlation correlativity between the area change of each kind of coastal wetland and the elements of economic and society, and carry on research on the driving force that causes the coastal wetlands’ changes.
