Abstract:In the rapid urbanization processes, urban agglomerations as a senior spatial organization of urban development at a mature stage. Urban agglomerations promote regional societies and economic integration, but can result in conflicts between the natural environment and human activities, particularly because of landscape development intensity. In order to quantify the collisions and reveal the pressure response mechanisms between the natural environment and human resource utilization, this study first opted the Fujian delta urban agglomeration night light data (DMSP/OLS) from 2000, 2005, and 2013 as the fundamental data for an analysis of the realm of human economic activities. And emergy analysis theory was used to account for renewable emergy (solar, wind, geothermal, rainfall chemical emergy, etc.), and non-renewable emergy which were based on statistics in the same year. Integrate renewable and non-renewable emergy to further describe the human landscape development intensity (LDI) at spatio-temporal scales. Accordance with the otherness of human activities intensity with the natural ecological system, the LDI values were divided into 5 levels. The results showed:(1) Over the time scale, the mean values for renewable emergy density in 2000, 2005, and 2013 were 9.42×1016 sej/hm2, 7.25×1016 sej/hm2 and 7.88×1016 sej/hm2, respectively, represented a decreasing trend before increasing again. On the spatial scale, renewable resources demonstrated a increase from the gulf zone to the inland area of annularity in the Fujian delta urban agglomeration, which was particularly evident in 2000; (2) As for the use of non-renewable resources, the investments of local non-renewable emergy value were 4.64×1024 sej, 4.63×1024 sej, and 4.66×1024 sej, respectively in 2000, 2005, and 2013 which was change lightly,while the inflows from the outside emergy were 1.41×1024 sej, 3.18×1024 sej and 5.71×1024 sej in 2000, 2005 and 2013, showing a growing tendency, among which the demand for raw coal was the highest, accounting for 90%; (3) In the spatial distribution of LDI, from the inland area to the ring bay area, LDI levels increased, and disturbances with severe interference were mainly observed in Xiamen, Longhai, Jinjiang, and Shishi. In terms of the temporal distribution, the scope of strength intensity and severe interference gradually increased. This research findings of different disturbance levels will help the government provide of a decision-making foundation for urban construction and planning. Meanwhile, provide a datum reference for the sustainable development of urban agglomerations.
