Abstract: The landscape surounding Qira osais at the southern fringe of the Taklamakan Desert in China was analyzed by using the SPOT 4 multispectrum remote sensing data and GPS (global positioning system) data.The SPOT 4 scene was projected into an UTM grid,and a supervised classification by ERDAS IMAGINEsoftware was applied. In total,13 landscape units could be distingushed,and a "frame of reference" was set up for establishing monitoring system of landscape patterns dynmics. Limitations,possible improvements and further applications of the approach were discussed.
