Dynamic analysis of urban spatial expansion and its determinants in Xiamen Island

Abstract: Most of the world's cities are concentrated in coastal areas. As a special geographical component of the coastal system, island urban spatial expansion is the outcome of interactions between city development and the physical environment. This paper takes Xiamen Island, located in Southeastern China, as an example to analyze island urban spatial expansion and its determinants by combining an analysis of the literature on urban development policies, urban overall plans, population growth and industrial developme… Show more

“…This is different from the environments of ocean reef and sandy islands in the studies mentioned above. Being close to the mainland, the majority of inhabited islands are seriously impacted by increasing coastal activities [19]. Island coastline resources are exploited to accommodate the increasing need for living space and other development, e.g., reclamation for ports, harbors, and industrial areas.…”
