We then follow the trend of farmland pattern evolution and take 2001 as the baseline year to forecast the farmland pattern in 2002 through 2010 using linear extrapolation. The result shows that the clustered rather than scattered farmhouse development type would create more integrated farmland pattern through patch integration and form more regular patch shapes that in turn have better effects on farmland utilization.
