Rapid urbanization will cause various land use changes and the vast occupation of green spaces, a critical factor in the deterioration of biodiversity in urbanized areas. Some species of wildlife are endangered due to habitat shrunk and fragmentation. However, Malaysia's current biodiversity protection range is still limited. The Ecological Network (EN) refers to a framework of ecological components, which can be obtained by geographical and technical approaches to support more ecological diversity ranges. Furthermore, little research has been found on EN in Malaysia and the impact of land use change on EN. Therefore, the Selangor region is selected as the study area. This paper quantifies land use change and measures the extent of land use change to obtain the EN's change. The result has shown that forestland has decreased, explored by people for housing and agriculture from 2000 to 2020. The EN has a trend of fragmentation. Overall, this study's results imply that the land use change led to EN's worsened performance from 2000 to 2020 in the study area. This paper hopes that this research could help supply information on conserving biodiversity in future development and urban sustainable planning in Malaysia.
快速的城市化进程将导致各种土地利用变化和对绿地的大量侵占，这是城市化地区生物多样性恶化的关键因素。由于栖息地缩小和破碎化，一些野生动物物种濒临灭绝。然而，马来西亚目前的生物多样性保护范围仍然有限。生态网络（EN）是指生态组成部分的框架，可以通过地理和技术方法获得，以支持更多的生态多样性范围。此外，在马来西亚，关于 EN 的研究和土地利用变化对 EN 的影响很少。因此，选择雪兰莪州作为研究区域。本文量化了土地利用变化，并测量了土地利用变化的程度，以获得 EN 的变化。结果表明，从 2000 年到 2020 年，林地减少了，人们为了住房和农业而开发了林地。EN 呈现出碎片化的趋势。总的来说，本研究结果表明，在研究区域，2000 年至 2020 年期间，土地利用变化导致了 EN 性能的恶化。本文希望这项研究能够为未来的发展和马来西亚的城市可持续规划提供有关保护生物多样性的信息。
