Abstract: Population growth and limited livable lands lead to the contradiction between man and land. Land use planning and design can alleviate the contradiction to a great extent. This paper briefly introduced geographic information system (GIS) technology. It then analysed the local land ecological sensitivity and the spatial coincidence of land use planning and design of Anxiang County, Changde, Hunan using GIS technology, and the data collected from Land and Resources Bureau. The results showed that the local land ecological sensitivity of Anxiang County was slightly high; therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the local environmental protection when carrying out land planning. The index measurement and the distribution of spatial coincidence both demonstrated that Anxiang County protected the farmland well in the execution of land planning in 2019. Still, the excessive development of transportation and water conservancy invaded other building lands. Several improvement suggestions were put forward against the analysis results.

Keywords: geographic information system; GIS; land planning; spatial coincidence; ecological sensitivity.
