ABSTRACT
Land use conflicts (LUCs) are the spatial manifestation of contradictions in human-land relations.
The scientific identification of LUCs and the revelation of their spatial and temporal evolution
mechanisms are of great significance for effectively alleviating human-land conflicts, strengthening
the control of territorial spatial planning, and promoting coordinated regional development. This study
took place in Shenyang, the only megacity in Northeast China, which faces multiple pressures, such
as agricultural production, urban construction, and ecological protection. The study adopted the LUCs
intensity model and the GTWR model to identify the LUCs, clarify the evolution pattern, and reveal
the spatial and temporal heterogeneity of driving factors. The study results showed that (1) from 1986
to 2020, the intensity of LUCs in Shenyang decreased and then increased. The conflict intensity in the
core urban area was lower, whereas the conflict intensity in other areas was higher. (2) The influence
of different driving factors on LUC intensity in Shenyang showed apparent spatial differentiation.
Socio-economic factors significantly impacted the core urban area and suburban areas, whereas natural
environmental factors significantly impacted the exurban areas. (3) Population density was central to
triggering LUCs in Shenyang from 1986 to 1997. Urbanization levels were central in triggering LUCs
in Shenyang from 1997 to 2020. In the future, Shenyang should give full play to the comparative
advantages of different functional zones, strengthen land use control, optimize land resource allocation,
alleviate LUCs, and improve the stability of the spatial pattern of national territory. The indicators
and models used in this study can effectively reflect the LUC situation and provide scientific references
for the planning and regional layout of Shenyang City.
