• Establishing a theoretical framework for Spatial Conflicts of Land Use (SCLU). • Delving into SCLU dynamics in arid regions from the ecological environment. • Investigating the spatio-temporal characteristics of SCLU at varied spatial scales and landforms. • Unveiling spatio-temporal effects among driving factors influencing SCLU in Xinjiang. The study of spatial conflicts of land use (SCLU) is an important breakthrough to reveal the evolution mechanism of regional human-land relationship. Accurate identification of SCLU and scientific exploration of its spatio-temporal characteristics of their driving factors are pivotal for regional sustainable development. However, the basic theoretical system of SCLU still needs to be improved, and the spatio-temporal characteristics of SCLU at different spatial scales and landforms as well as the spatio-temporal correlation effects of its driving factors need to be further studied. This study utilizes theoretical models for the identification of SCLU. Employing a comprehensive index approach involving ArcGIS, FRAGSTATS landscape pattern analysis, and the multi-scale geographically weighted regression model, the spatio-temporal characteristics of SCLU are analyzed across different administrative scales and Macro-landforms. The investigation unveils the intrinsic mechanisms of spatio-temporal differentiation driven by various factors from 2000 to 2020 in the arid and semiarid region of Xinjiang, China. Results indicated that: (1) SCLU is...
