area of cultivated, economic forest and pasture lands and then constructs mecha-
nism-based models to analyze dynamic laws for the succession of land use structure at
the regional scale. The CGELUC model selects the framework of CGE to analyze the
influence of socioeconomic factors in an equilibrium economic system such as the
industrial structure, trade environment, economic policies and institutional arrange-
ments on the structure of regional land use.
