Abstract: The orderly use of land is the basis for sustainable urban development. The rational use of land resources is related to the development of social economy and natural environment. Taking Hubei province as an example, 17 indicators were selected from five dimensionseconomic development level, regional development advantage, natural basement, ecological service and special habitat to construct a comprehensive land use evaluation system. The entropy weight method was used to determine the weight, and ArcGIS was used as the technical support platform to analyze the land use level of each city in Hubei province from 2011 to 2016. The results show that the comprehensive level of land use in space has increased significantly in the west and south, and Huanggang city in the eastern part has a downward trend, while there is no obvious change in the central region; the comprehensive level of land use is slowly increasing, and the level of land socio-economic utilization is developing rapidly. The land use level has not changed significantly; from 2011 to 2016, land use in Hubei province is generally at a low level, and the socio-economic and natural development of land use is not coordinated. In addition, in order to promote the rational use of land resources and the sustainable development of cities in Hubei Province, corresponding policy recommendations are proposed based on the research results.
