Abstract: Sustainability often represents a primary goal for land use planning. Comprehensive sustainability in land use planning can be defined as a long-term balance between economic development, environmental protection, efficient resource use, and social equity. To pursue this balance spatially and intelligently, a series of loose coupling models and technologies from the perspectives of spatial optimization and GIS have been developed and employed to create the optimal/near-optimal land use planning scenarios to support the sustainable land use planning.
