Land use change on ecosystem service value(ESV) and its interaction is significant in the rapid urbanization. The GIS(Geographic Information System) incorporating with ESV equivalent factor is used to quantitatively study the change of land use change and its impact on the ecosystem service value in Hengyang central district. Further more, the Markov model is used to predict the change of land use and ESV in 2030 under the scenario of historical trend development. The results can serve as a useful tool that assists urban planners in their evaluation of ecosystem service value under the impact of land use change. 1 INTRODUCTION use is often used to predict the quantitative change of land use[9]. It is defined as follows: Ecosystem service is the natural environmental condition of human existence and development formed by S(n) = S(n − 1)P (1) ecosystem in the ecological process[1], Whose’s value can provide scientific basis for human beings to improve Where, S(n) and S(n − 1) is the state of the system at the quality of life and production[2]. Land use the time n and n-1 respectively; is the transition cover/change (LUCC) is the main cause of global probability matrix, which defined as follows: environmental change[3], which plays a decisive role in A A … A the change of ecosystem service.
