1998年夏季,长江发生了1954年以来的又一次全流域大洪水,造成大量农田被淹,作物减产、房屋倒塌,经济损失严重.引起这次洪涝灾害的原因除气候异常、雨水过大外,人类忽视林地保护,围垦、填占湖泊,改变湖泊用途也起了不能忽视的作用.从土地利用角度对此作了详细分析并对未来的土地利用方略作了探讨.

In the summer of 1998, a rarely severe flooding disaster occurred in the Yangtze River basin, which made a great number of farmland submerged, crops damaged and houses collapsed. The main reason of the disaster is the unusual climate and the excessive rainfall. However, people’s behavior, such as cutting down trees, reclaiming and occupying lakes and changing functions of lakes, also aggravated the disaster.This paper analysed the unreasonable land utilization in detail and explored the strategy of land utilization aiming at the sustainable development of the region.
