Resumen
The urban fringe area is a discontinuous spatial phenomenon that refers to the urban-rural interlacing zone which is undergoing urbanization on the fringe of the core built-up area of a large city after the emergence of industrialization. Dynamic, ambiguous, and complex interlacing of various types of lands make urban planners and managers fuzzy about the spatial scope of the urban fringe and it is difficult to control its evolution patterns scientifically. Based on remote sensing data from 2000 to 2020, the range of Wuhan?s urban fringe was extracted from the surface impermeability ratio mutation points, landscape flocculation, and population density. On this basis, the dynamic evolution characteristics of land-use and landscape patterns in the urban fringe area of Wuhan City were analyzed by using dynamic change and landscape pattern index analysis. The results show that: Wuhan City shows a clear ?urban core area-urban fringe area-rural hinterland? circle structure, and the urban fringe area continuously extends to the rural hinterland. Moreover, most of the rural hinterland, in the process of moving to the urban core area, has gone through the process of the urban fringe. By comparison with other cities, it is found that the expansion of large cities is generally influenced by policies, topography, and traffic arteries, and gradually shifts from expansion to infill, with the urban core of Wuhan continuously extending and the urban fringe rapidly expanding from 2000 to 2010, and gradually entering a stable development state from 2010 to 2020. The future urban construction of Wuhan should pay attention to the influences of these characteristics on the implementation of urban territorial spatial planning.
