This article analyzes the changes of Xuchang land use in 1985, 1995, 2000. It shows the phenomenon of Xuchang´s land use that dry land areas sharply decrease, construction areas sharply increase and grassland and woodland changes in volatility. Finally, the city of Xuchang should strengthen land-use planning and land management, optimize the structure of the land, strengthen education for sustainable development and the dynamical monitoring measures to make Xuchang´s land use move toward the sustainable development path.
