[Objective] The coordination relationship between intensive land utilization and land use structure was explored in order to provide theoretical basis for the optimization of land use structure and sustainable development of social economy in Qingyang City

Gansu Province.[Methods] Taking Qingyang City as an example

the comprehensive index of intensive land utilization and land use structure from 2007 to 2016 was calculated by multi-factor comprehensive evaluation method. The coupling coordination model was used to analyze the change characteristics and coupling coordination relationship between land intensive utilization and land use structure.[Results] ① The comprehensive index of land intensive utilization showed an increase trend

and reached a high level of intensive utilization in Qingyang City. ② The information entropy of land use structure showed a downward trend

the equilibrium was gradually decreasing

and the advantage was gradually increasing in Qingyang City. ③ The coupling degree of land intensive utilization and land use structure increased initially and then decreased

and the coupling coordination showed an increasing trend. The coupling between the two was becoming stronger and stronger

and showed a coordinated and stable trend.[Conclusion] By studying the relationship between land intensive utilization and land use structure

it is found that the unit input to promote the level of land intensive use in Qingyang City is no longer applicable

and the land use structure need to be changed in order to further improve the efficiency of land use and promote the level of land intensive use.
