The changes in urban green spaces are highly related to urban land-use changes (e.g., from residential land to commercial land). However, the investigation of urban green space patterns in response to urban land-use changes has been ignored. This research takes Hangzhou city, a typical example in terms of urbanization, population growth, economic development, and land-use changes, as the study site, aiming to explore the landscape patterns of urban green space changes with different urban land-use changes. The results showed that urban green spaces increased from 2017 to 2021, and the growth was mainly concentrated in the urban core area, indicating that the city has made remarkable achievements in the planning of green spaces. Specifically, the increase in urban green spaces in the first ring belt was mainly related to the old town transformation program in the residential land. The change from the residence parcels to the business parcels determined the increase in green spaces in the second and third ring belts, probably because of the attractiveness of customers. In addition, a large number of open-space parcels have changed to business parcels around the urban periphery, which might be due to the transformation from farmland to impervious surfaces. Combined with the urban land-use and green-space policies, the findings highlighted that a reasonable urban land-use layout can promote the optimization and layout of urban green spaces. The private sector (e.g., shopping malls) can also contribute to the increase in green spaces. The understanding of urban green landscapes with different urban land-use changes can provide references for analyzing and optimizing green space in other cities experiencing rapid urban land-use changes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14215410","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,30]],"date-time":"2022-10-30T09:01:42Z","timestamp":1667120502000},"page":"5410","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["Investigating the Changes in Urban Green-Space Patterns with Urban Land-Use Changes: A Case Study in Hangzhou, China"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Jiadi","family":"Yin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geographical Sciences and Geospatial Research Group, Faculty of Science and Engineering, University of Nottingham Ningbo China, Ningbo 315100, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Land Surface Pattern and Simulation, Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China"}]},{"given":"Ping","family":"Fu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geographical Sciences and Geospatial Research Group, Faculty of Science and Engineering, University of Nottingham Ningbo China, Ningbo 315100, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2657-4865","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ali","family":"Cheshmehzangi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Architecture and Built Environment, University of Nottingham Ningbo China, Ningbo 315100, China"}]},{"given":"Zhichao","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Land Surface Pattern and Simulation, Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5687-803X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jinwei","family":"Dong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Land Surface Pattern and Simulation, Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"28","DOI":"10.1140\/epjds\/s13688-021-00278-7","article-title":"Urban green space and happiness in developed countries","volume":"10","author":"Kwon","year":"2021","journal-title":"EPJ Data Sci."},{"key":"ref_2","first-page":"42","article-title":"Urban growth and environmental impacts in Jing-Jin-Ji, the Yangtze, River Delta and the Pearl River Delta","volume":"30","author":"Haas","year":"2014","journal-title":"Int.
