Abstract
Rapid urban development and dramatic change of landscape have been recently witnessed in the developing city Haikou in China as a result of rapid economic development. In this paper, Dinamica which was a spatially explicit simulation model of landscape dynamics were used to simulate the evolution of Haikou during the period of 1989 to 2012.They are expanding from exist city cell, around the city center, along the transportation line, and rural resident spot. According to the spatial occupation reality of Haikouin 1996 and 2008, the simulation accuracy is greater than 82% . Dinamica model is considere d a useful tool for urbanization research. And we found that residential land development tools such as the Public Residential City Development (PRCD) and the Housing Construction Facilitating Support (HCFS) in Haikou are working to prevent sprawl or facilitate it.
