Abstract: With the support of RS and GIS, and based on the remote sensing images in 1993 and 2005, this paper analyzed the landscape pattern change of Meizhou Island, a typical representative of tourism-type islands in Fujian Province. In 1993-2005, the total number of landscape patches on the Island increased obviously, the landscape diversity index had a slight decrease but was overall high, and the landscape fragmentation index showed an obvious increasing trend. Among the landscape types, three of them closely related with tourism, i.e., construction land, woodland, and beach and bare rock increased in their size and fragmentation degree, suggesting that the intensity of human intervention increased. At the same time, the size and fragmentation degree of cropland, grassland, pond water, and beach decreased, suggesting the decreasing intensity of human intervention on these landscape types.
