城市轨道交通系统能推动城市的物理转型，导致土地利用、土地覆被的变化，改变人们的行为活动模式和为周边带来巨大的经济利益。基于"web of science" 数据库的455篇、中国知网的321篇期刊文章，采用文献统计分析方法和文献可视化工具，通过软件CiteSpace 中的热点词聚类和Google Earth进行文献的地理可视化，探讨国内外城市轨道交通对土地利用影响的研究状况。对当前该领域研究的热点主题进行系统的分类、归纳、整理并予以评述，旨在为今后的相关研究提供参考。通过研究得到4个方面的结论：①国内外所涉及的热门研究主题基本相同，但相较而言，国内外研究侧重点和尺度有所不同。②城市轨道交通普遍会给周围的住宅和商业造成溢价，对人口密度而言，郊区的影响比市中心大，并且都需要一定的时间才能显现出来。③在“大数据”时代利用“3S”工具来研究城市轨道交通对土地利用的影响有很大的应用前景。并提出了4点看法：①未来该领域的研究更趋向综合性与人文性。②国外的开发模式在国内应用会存在不适，应根据自身的情况不断发展完善。③理论上共享单车能拓展轨道交通站点的辐射范围。④科学合理地划分轨道交通沿线的缓冲区有助于精细统计土地利用变化面积。

 The public rail transport system in cities can promote physical urban transition, resulting in land use and land cover change, changing the public daily behaviors and consequently bringing huge economic benefits to its imminent areas. Based on statistical analysis and visualization tools, this study, used Citespace and Google Earth, explored approximately 455 papers from Web of Science and 321 papers from CNKI, to obtain current research trends in assessments of the impacts of public rail transport on land use change. The literature classification, organization and comments on such current studies and hot research topics are valuable for future research. Three conclusions were then drawn: First of all, similar topics have been done by both domestic and oversea scholars, but from slightly different perspective and at different scales. Secondly, public rail transport often caused increasing in housing price for both residential and commercial blocks; the influence on population density is more significant in the outskirts than the counterparts of downtown areas, but the influence often emerged with a with a unfixed time lag. Thirdly, RS,GIS and GPS(3S) techniques are a promising tools for the research of the impacts of public rail transport on land use change in the era of "big data". Based on the conclusions, four suggestions are proposed: Firstly, future research in this field will be more comprehensive and humanistic studies. Secondly, oversea development models could not be fully applied in China, and thus corresponding improvements with China’s situation are required. Thirdly, theoretically speaking, bicycle sharing can expand the service range of public rail transport. Fourthly, reasonable buffers are important to obtain fine statistical area of land change affected by public rail transport.
