Abstract: RS(Remote Sensing) and GIS were applied to interpret the remote sensing image of Wanzhou district in 2000 and 2007. Quantitative statistic data and phasor-diagram were worked out. The dynamic characteristics of LUCC (Land Use/Cover Change) were analyzed through a model which includes four exponents, namely single dynamic index, exploitation degree, consumption degree, and comprehensive dynamic index. It was found that garden plot accounted for the largest proportion of the whole land cover, up to 39.52%. In general, land cover didn’t change much, while each single dynamic index was different, with construction land grew remarkably and forest land and farmland decreased. It’s suggested that measures must be taken to protect forest land and farmland,  and the management of urban construction land must be strengthened. This research provides basis for the decision making for reasonable land use.
