Evidence on the influence of urbanisation on land-use structure in China can provide a scientific basis for sustainable land-use and ecological protection. However, previous studies have not completely explained the mechanisms of land-use structure change during rapid urbanisation. To address this gap, in the present study, the land-use intensity and information entropy of land-use structure from 1980 to 2020 were measured to represent urbanisation level and land-use structure for the corresponding period using land-use/cover datasets in China. The impact of urbanisation on the information entropy of land-use structure was analysed from multiple perspectives based on a set of panel regression models. The results showed that the land-use intensity in China presented a continuously increasing trend, whereas information entropy of land-use structure exhibited an increasing and then decreasing tendency …
