ABSTRACT: This study takes Kunming City, Yunnan Province,
China as the research area, to provide reference basis for revealing the change
law of land use structure and energy consumption and carbon emissions in
Kunming, optimizing land use structure and realizing the development of
low-carbon city. Based on the data of land use structure and energy consumption
in Kunming from 1997 to 2017, based on the estimation of total energy
consumption carbon emissions, carbon intensity and per capita carbon emissions,
the correlation between land use structure and energy consumption carbon
emissions in Kunming has been calculated and analyzed in the past 20 years. Results:
1) The total amount of carbon emissions in Kunming has increased significantly
in the past 20 years. It increased from 34.46 × 105 t to 95.09 × 105 t, an increase of about 2.8 times. 2) The types of land use with the highest
correlation between land use structure and total carbon emissions of energy
consumption, carbon emission intensity and per capita carbon emissions are
urban and village and industrial and mining land (0.8258), cultivated land
(0.8733) and garden land (0.7971) respectively. 3) The correlation between
construction land and total carbon emissions is greater than that of
agricultural land. Conclusion: There is a close correlation between land use
structure and carbon emissions from energy consumption in Kunming.
