Abstract: There was a close relationship between the land use type changes and urbanization level. Relevant data of the land use type changes and urbanization level in Nanjing city from 2005 to 2015 were selected, and correlation analysis and regression analysis were used to discuss the relationship between the land use type changes and urbanization level. The results showed that,as the level of urbanization increases, the types of land use also changes. Among them, the area of agricultural land and unused land continues to decrease as the level of urbanization increases, while the area of construction land continues to increase as the level of urbanization increases. The level of urbanization affects the land use type changes. In the process of steady and rapid urbanization, it is necessary to rationally develop and use land, and maintain correct land use planning, in order to provide a theoretical basis for urban rational development and land use.

Key words: land use type changes, urbanization level, land planning
