Abstract: Taking Yubei District of Chongqing as an example, this paper uses the remote sensing data of Landsat TM and DEM data with the help of geographic information system and remote sensing methods, and uses the methods of landscape index analysis, terrain niche index and distribution index to analyze the characteristics of the changes of land use landscape pattern from 2010 to 2015. At the same time, it focuses on the changes of landscape types and the relationship between them under different terrain and gradient, so as to provide some reference for the selection of the best land use pattern in cities under similar conditions. The results show that:（1) The land resources of Yubei District are mainly made up of middle and high-level topography, and the land resources below 200 m above sea level and below 6° slope are scarce.（2).The main types of landscape in Yubei District are cultivated land and forest land, but the general trend of cultivated land landscape is decreasing, while the forest land is increasing and the land of construction is growing faster. Generally speaking, landscape fragmentation is increasing and landscape diversity is on the rise.（3) It is found that a large number of arable land is converted into construction land in the middle and low terrain location area during the research period, and the distribution trend of forest land and grassland landscape area expands with the increase of terrain location index, and its dominant terrain position mainly concentrates in the high terrain location area.
