In this paper, we employ nighttime light (NTL) information as a proxy indicator of gross domestic product(GDP), and a future land use simulation model (FLUS) to simulate the land use patterns in Guangzhou from 2015 to 2018 and 2018 to 2035 by incorporating planning policies. The results show that: (1) the accuracy of simulation result from 2015 to 2018 based on National Polar-orbiting Partnership, Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (NPP\/VIIRS) is higher than that based on GDP; (2) by incorporating planning policies into the model can better identify the potential spatial distribution of urban land and make the simulated results more consistent with the actual urban land development trajectory. This study demonstrates that NTL is a suitable and feasible proxy indicator of GDP for the land use simulations, providing a scientific basis for the development of urban planning and construction policy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs12101675","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,25]],"date-time":"2020-05-25T11:42:02Z","timestamp":1590406922000},"page":"1675","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Land Use Simulation of Guangzhou Based on Nighttime Light Data and Planning Policies"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Jieying","family":"Lao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Tourism and Geographic Sciences, Yunnan Normal University, Kunming 650500, China"}]},{"given":"Cheng","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Tourism and Geographic Sciences, Yunnan Normal University, Kunming 650500, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Digital Earth Science, Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100094, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7202-646X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jinliang","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Tourism and Geographic Sciences, Yunnan Normal University, Kunming 650500, China"}]},{"given":"Feifei","family":"Pan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geography and the Environment, University of North Texas, Denton, TX 76203, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6979-170X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiaohuan","family":"Xi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Digital Earth Science, Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100094, China"}]},{"given":"Lei","family":"Liang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Digital Earth Science, Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100094, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"418","DOI":"10.1038\/nature20584","article-title":"High-resolution mapping of global surface water and its long-term changes","volume":"540","author":"Pekel","year":"2016","journal-title":"Nature"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"769","DOI":"10.1126\/science.1151419","article-title":"The size, scale, and shape of cities","volume":"319","author":"Batty","year":"2008","journal-title":"Science"},{"key":"ref_3","unstructured":"(2019, November 20).
