Abstract:In this study, the patch density, contagion degree and subjective weight of land use type were combined to construct an ecological risk index of land use for the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei vegion based on the land use data from 1984, 1990, 2000, 2005, 2010, and 2015. The results revealed the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei spatial distribution characteristics of land use ecological risks for six nodes of urban agglomeration. Land use ecological risks were divided into five levels: low risk area, low medium risk area, medium risk area, medium high risk area, and high risk area. The medium high and high risk areas were defined as the comprehensive high risk areas, and then their centers of gravity were calculated. Transfer trajectories were used to explore the dynamic changes in spatial transfer dynamics for high risk land use. The following results were found for the study period. (1) Based on the overall distribution pattern of ecological risks of land use in the study area, the ecological risks from land use around the urban center area have gradually intensified, non-urban areas are lower than the urban areas, and high risk and medium high risk areas are increasing in size. (2) The comprehensive high risk areas in the cities of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei vegion are subject to various changes, with Beijing, Tianjin, Tangshan, and Langfang showing an increasing trend, Chengde, Zhangjiakou, Baoding, Shijiazhuang, Qinhuangdao, Handan, and Xingtai showing a decreasing trend, and Cangzhou and Hengshui remaining almost unchanged. (3)The shifting focus of comprehensive high risk areas can be generally divided into three categories: the direction of capital, direction of the eastern sea and its development direction, and shifting direction of the center of gravity closely related to the planning, governance, and development direction of the city.
