[Objective] We take counties(city

area) of the western economic uprising belt in Shandong Province as evaluation units to study the intensity of cultivated land use and to analyze its spatial distribution in order to provide support for the cultivated land resources planning and the improvement of the intensity of cultivated land use to increase the output and the overall planning of regional agriculture development.[Methods] The intensity of cultivated land use and the spatial distribution of the western economic uprising belt in Shandong Province was analyzed with the entropy weight TOPSIS method and GIS spatial analysis.[Results] Taking Dongping County as a boundary

the intensity of cultivated land use is low in the south

and high in the north. With the north area

the intensity of cultivated land use is higher in northeast part

and lower in the southwest part. The middle area is in the average situation. There is a pattern of "club convergence" in the intensity of cultivated land use in counties(city

area)

that is to say that cultivated land with the same land use intensity are usually distributed together. The number of counties(city

area) with different intensities of cultivated land use showed a "Pyramid" trend

namely

fewer counties are with highest intensity and the more counties with lower intensity; In the index layer

the primary indicators of the intensity of cultivated land use are fertilizer input

mechanical input

multiple cropping index

the rate of mechanization

food security

index of cultivated land security

grain yield per unit area and per capita grain production.[Conclusion] The intensity of cultivated land use of the western economic uprising belt in Shandong Province showed an obvious spatial differentiation trend.
