Climate change poses a significant threat to global food security and contributes to land degradation and desertification. Consequently, land system issues emerge as one of the drivers of climate change. This study aims to investigate strategies for optimizing the allocation of land resources in the context of climate change, utilizing climate change scenario data from SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5, coupled with the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) and Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) released by the IPCC in 2020. We developed and validated the SD-PLUS coupled model. This model integrates socio-economic and climate change factors, and simulates land use change scenarios in Hangzhou for 2030, utilizing historical data from 2000 to 2020. The results demonstrate that the SD model prediction error was within 5%, the Kappa and FoM values were 0.84 and overall accuracy was 0.93, indicating that the SD-PLUS model accurately predicted land use change. Land use changes under the three scenarios exhibited distinct characteristics. Ecological land decreased under SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5 scenarios, with forest and grassland transforming to construction land, particularly in Lin’an District, Fuyang District, and areas bordering the central urban area. The most significant change was observed in the SSP5-8.5 scenario, marked by a substantial expansion of construction land by 608.94 km². Only the SSP1-2.6 scenario demonstrated a systematic expansion of construction land into city centers, with a moderate decrease in ecological land. In the SSP1-2.6 scenario, the protection of ecological land effectively mitigated the uncontrolled expansion of construction land, enhanced land use efficiency, and fostered balanced ecological and economic development. In conclusion, the SD-PLUS coupled model skillfully simulated the spatial pattern of land use change in Hangzhou under different climate scenarios. The study findings offer valuable scientific insights to support the harmonization of future economic development and ecological preservation in Hangzhou.
