基于GIS的广佛地区聚落变化分析的中期报告 Introduction GIS-based analysis of settlement trends is an essential tool for urban planners and policymakers. Such analyses provide critical insights into the evolution of settled areas, their physical, social, and economic dynamics, and patterns of urbanization. This mid-term report outlines an ongoing GIS-based analysis of settlement trends in the Guangzhou-Foshan region of China. The report examines data on population distribution, land-use patterns, transportation infrastructure, and economic activity in the region. It also evaluates the influence of the regions policies on settlement growth and trends. Methodology The analysis involves the collection, integration, and processing of spatial and non-spatial data from several sources. The study employs both primary and secondary data sources, including recent census data, remote sensing-derived data, and field surveys. The collected data is processed using GIS tools, including data conversion, integration, and analysis. The study employs several analytical techniques, including trend analysis, spatial autocorrelation analysis, and hotspot analysis. Results Preliminary results show several key trends in settlement growth in the region. The population of the region has been steadily increasing over the past decade, with rapid growth in urban areas. The analysis also shows that there has been significant growth in the services sector, driven primarily by the regions robust transportation infrastructure. The study reveals that the regions land-use patterns have been changing, with a significant increase in the proportion of developed land, especially in urban areas. However, the regions hinterlands remain largely undeveloped, with significant opportunities for future growth. Additionally, the study reveals several policy-driven factors influencing settlement growth. One key policy driver is the regions efforts to promote economic development by attracting foreign investment. This policy has re
