Abstract :
Modeling of population density based on GIS and RS has a promising prospect in China. In this article, an improved model of population density based on geographical information system (GIS) and remote sensing (RS) technology was used to simulate the population density distribution of four counties of Shandong Province, China. Results showed that: population density of the study area is in the range of 0 - 19214.76 persons/km2. As a whole, population density in urban area is higher than that in rural area.
