Abstract: With the distance from the research site to the center of a village as index for grading human disturbance intensity,the village could be divided into three zones,center,transition and base,different in human disturbance intensity,severe,moderate and light,respectively.Analysis was conducted of the relationship between human disturbance intensity and village level landscape characteristics.Results showed that they were closely related.With rise in intensity,the diversity index,relative abundance index and evenness index increased correspondingly,but stayed at peak and dominance index,however,fell to the bottom when the human disturbance was moderate in intensity.With increasing disturbance,the fractal value of landscapes in close relation to human life was getting less,but the similarity of landscape patches enhanced.

Key words: disturbance intensity, fractal analysis, landscape, patch, village level
