Abstract

Urban morphology research is an important element of urban geography. This paper chooses a railway hub-Huaihua city to carry out the research and analyzes its characteristics with the help of urban land use planning map, 1∶10000 topographic maps, remote sensing images, socio-economic statistical data and other relevant information, using ArcGIS 9.2 and statistical analysis software (SPSS11.5) and some other research methods such as statistical analysis, spatial patterns analysis, fans analysis and fractal theory. The study shows that Huaihua is expanding mainly to the east and the south, representing stage characteristics. In the external city morphology, it presents low compact and fractal dimension but high shape index. In the internal city morphology, residential land and public facilities land are distributed in circle layers, while industrial land is mainly concentrated in a few specific areas. On this basis, to explore the dynamic mechanism of urban morphology evolution, we found that the evolution of urban patterns is the result of economic development, transport infrastructure construction, and natural and geographical conditions.
