This paper analyzes the level grade of provincial urbanization development and land intensive use change, synchronization state and coordination relations from 2005 to 2015 based on attribute connection and spatial analysis functions of GIS. The research shows as follows. First, the provincial comprehensive urbanization level is rising steadily and its dynamic changes are in convergence in 2005—2015. Meanwhile，the whole level of land intensive utilization is declined, there are big differences between provinces in 2005—2015. Second, in general, the provincial urbanization degree are in advance of land intensive use level in 2005—2015，the spatial distribution of synchronous state between urbanization and land intensive use is not balanced，and synchronous characters are remained unchanged in most provinces in 2005—2015. Third, the coupling relationship between urbanization development and land intensive use change is shown as positive coordination，which also has a certain spatial clustering and regionaltimeliness difference in 2005—2015. Fourth, the degradation of land use in eastern provinces is worthy of attention and vigilance. But the process of urbanization in some western provinces still needs to be moderately accelerated, while to strengthen the substitute and complementary effects of capital and technology.
