Land carrying capacity is one of the important research fields for land management and sustainable use. Urban-rural construction land is an essential component of land use type, the rationality of whose structure and layout is crucial to the sustainable use of land. Here, we executed the evaluation of the suitability of urban-rural construction land development, accounted the bearable critical threshold of urban-rural construction land, calculated the bearable abundance of urban-rural construction land, and compared with the current urban-rural construction land, analyzed the matching of the space layout, and then obtained the remaining development intensity of each county (city or district) of the Poyang Lake urban agglomeration. The results showed that the most suitable, more suitable, less suitable and unsuitable area about the evaluation results of urban-rural construction land development suitability were 3130.62, 2477.29, 867.03 and 29509.14 km土地承载力是土地管理和可持续利用的重要研究领域之一,城乡建设用地是土地利用类型的重要组成部分,其结构与布局是否合理对土地可持续利用至关重要.本研究以环鄱阳湖城市群为研究区,进行城乡建设用地开发适宜性评价,核算城乡建设用地可承载临界值,计算可承载城乡建设用地丰度,并与现状城乡建设用地进行空间格局匹配性分析,得到研究区各个县(市、区)的剩余开发强度和空间匹配度.结果表明: 研究区城乡建设用地开发适宜性评价结果等级中,最适宜区、较适宜区、较不适宜区和不适宜区面积分别为3130.62、2477.29、867.03和29509.14 km
