Abstract Miyun County of Beijing not only provides water resource for Beijing but also possesses a great priority
in supporting Beijing's outward expansion. However, as Miyun County is developing along with Beijing's rapid high
-tech and economic development, its eco-environment is confronted with strong pressure caused by the increase of
population as well as the social and economic activities. Using Landsat and Beijing-1 satellite images, the
authors obtained several eco-environment factors with the help of RS and GIS technologies. This paper has dealt
with the land use maps of three terms and, on the basis of land use, analyzed vegetation coverage and landscape
indexes to disclose the variation. In addition, land surface temperature was calculated from the ETM+ image of
1999. The above factors detected in 1999 and their relationships are also discussed for different ecological
regions.
