The results indicated that the neighborhood relationships between different land use types increased with increasing neighborhood distance, while those among the same land use types manifested congregation, which decreased with increasing neighborhood distance. From 1987 to 2003, the neighborhood relationships between construction land and orchard land, and between woodland and orchard land presented decreasing trend, while those of construction land with woodland and grassland were in adverse.
