The relationships between social-economic, demographic and political factors and time-series LULC data were examined for the periods between 1978 and 2010. The results showed the effectiveness of using the object-oriented decision tree classification method for LULC classification with time series of Landsat images. Combined with anthropogenic driving forces, our research can effectively explain the detailed LULC change trajectories corresponding to different stages and give new insights for Beijing LULC change patterns. The results show a significant increase in forest and built-up areas, but a decrease in arable lands, due to urbanization and reforestation. Large ecological projects result in an increase of forest areas and population, and economic conditions result in urban expansion. The anthropogenic driving forces analysis results further prove that both population increase and economic development played important roles in the expansion of built-up areas. Both the qualitative and quantitative anthropogenic driving forces analysis methods were helpful for better understanding the mechanisms of LULC change.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs61110593","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,11,3]],"date-time":"2014-11-03T08:52:52Z","timestamp":1415004772000},"page":"10593-10611","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":60,"title":["Examining Land Use and Land Cover Spatiotemporal Change and Driving Forces in Beijing from 1978 to 2010"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Yichen","family":"Tian","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Remote Sensing and Digital Earth, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China"}]},{"given":"Kai","family":"Yin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Remote Sensing and Digital Earth, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China"},{"name":"Center for Global Change and Earth Observations, Michigan State University,  East Lansing, MI 48823, USA"}]},{"given":"Dengsheng","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Global Change and Earth Observations, Michigan State University,  East Lansing, MI 48823, USA"},{"name":"Zhejiang Provincial Key Laboratory of Carbon Cycling in Forest Ecosystems and Carbon Sequestration, School of Environmental and Resource Sciences, Zhejiang A&F University,  Linan, Zhejiang 311300, China"}]},{"given":"Lizhong","family":"Hua","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of computer and Information Engineering, Xiamen University of Technology,  Xiamen 361024, China"}]},{"given":"Qianjun","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Remote Sensing and Digital Earth, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China"}]},{"given":"Meiping","family":"Wen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Remote Sensing and Digital Earth, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,11,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"15","article-title":"Why forest monitoring matters for people and the planet","volume":"15","author":"DeFries","year":"2012","journal-title":"Glob.
