description The optimization of land use structure is a key measure to promote the allocation of land resources, ensure sustainable land development, and address the human-land conflict. Since the 21st century, land use in China has exhibited spatiotemporal dynamic development characteristics in response to socio-economic growth and changes in regional geographical conditions. The academic community, both domestically and internationally, has enriched and refined the research system on China’s land use, driven by the need to optimize its land use structure. This study systematically reviews relevant land use research literature from 2000 to 2024, utilizing bibliometric analysis and visual mapping to conduct phased evaluations and an overall review. The existing LUCC research framework in China is extensive, with a strong focus on land use issues in the context of rapid development. Building on this review and incorporating practical needs, theoretical innovation, interdisciplinary integration, and expansion across multiple fields, we aim to propose a framework for future land resource research. This framework includes: (i) Establishing a Multi-functional Land Use System: This approach promotes the coordinated development of ecological and social benefits of land use. (ii) Enhancing Effective Assessment and Management of Ecological Risks: Such efforts contribute to optimizing spatial planning and ensuring land security. (iii) Addressing Low Land Use Efficiency: Focusing on this issue will enable more precise management aligned with regional characteristics. (iv) Exploring the Application of Multi-disciplinary and Cross-field Technologies in Land Use Efficiency Assessment: This integration will advance spatial planning research. (v) Expanding Research on Multi-functional Land Use and Multi-element Integration: This direction fosters coordination across various planning frameworks, promoting synergies in land use research.
