Land use conflicts represent an increasing challenge to sustainable development, particularly in regions undergoing rapid urbanization. This study investigated the spatiotemporal dynamics of land and their ecological implications Tianshui City from 1980 2020. The main objectives were identify patterns spatial heterogeneity, explore driving factors behind these conflicts, analyze relationship with risks. results indicate following findings. In terms early changes primarily driven by structural factors, such as topography climate, a Nugget/Still ratio <0.30 observed 2000. After 2000, however, stochastic including average annual urbanization rate increase 5.2% GDP growth 9.1%, emerged dominant drivers, reflected > 0.36. Regarding conflict intensity, high-conflict areas expanded approximately 1110 square kilometers between 2020, predominantly concentrated fertile agricultural Weihe River Basin urban core areas. Conversely, non-conflict zones decreased 38.7%. risk correlation, bivariate LISA cluster analysis revealed significant autocorrelation severe risks (Moran’s I = 0.62, p < 0.01). High-risk clusters transitioning arable built-up increased 23% after Predictions based on future land-use simulation (FLUS) model suggest that 2030, high-intensity will expand additional 16%, leading intensified competition for resources. Therefore, incorporating safety thresholds into planning policies is essential reconciling development conservation, thereby promoting transitions.
