The researchers used remote sensing and GIS technology to study changes in land use in Pinggu district, Beijing, China from 2000 to 2007. They found that cropland decreased while construction land, orchards, and forests increased during this period. To ensure sustainable land use, policies and measures should be implemented to increase cultivated land in the future.
