County-level land resources inventory has been regarded as one of the nation's priorities. According to our practices of more than ten years

remotely sensed data can provide abundant information for this work

and we consider that Landsat image and airphoto interpretation in cooperation with the traditional method is an effective and economic way

and would be the main approach for land resources inventory in the near future. Our main procedures are

(i) Landsat image interpretation and working out the highlevel land classes;(ii) Using airphoto and field check in the sampling areas to complete the land classification system，and establishing the interpretation criteria as well; (iii)Airphoto interpretation and transfering of land type and land current use;(iv)Land capability evaluation on the basis of land type;and (v) Measuring of area and compiling of reports involved. The final results include 3 maps(Land Type，Land Current Use and Land Capability)，land resources inventories and reports.During the last several years the results mentioned above have effectively and. successfully been used by the local authorities.
