Abstract: The Indian IRS-P6 satellite image of December 2007 which covers Guangzhou city was used as the information source and GIS as a platform. Based on the GPS investigation data and the analysis on a set of landscape pattern indices, the distribution of Guangzhou's landscape pattern in 2007 was obtained. The analytic results show that the distribution of various types of landscape is distributed unevenly in Guangzhou. Urban forest landscape type is relatively concentrative. The boundaries of waters and roads are complicated and fractal dimensions are relatively big. The human interferences of urban landscape were big. Guangzhou city is rich in landscape types but high in fragmentation. This paper provides reference information for ecological planning of urban landscape and urban ecological construction.

Key words: urban landscape, landscape pattern, landscape evaluation, Guangzhou
