The process of rapid urbanization results in the flow and agglomeration of regional production factors, which leads to the transformation of the urban-rural territorial system and changes the spatial patterns of urban and rural areas. On the basis of the dynamic changes about urban and rural construction land, this research focuses on the processes, influencing factors, and driving mechanisms motivating the urban-rural transformation in the Pearl River Delta Region. Vector data of urban construction land use in 1990, 2000, 2005, and 2017, natural elements, socioeconomic data, geostatistical analysis method, and logistic regression model were all utilized to identify the characteristics of the processes and influencing factors. The driving mechanisms of spatial evolution in urban-rural transformation from regional growth, market development, and government controls were also explained according to analytics. The results reveal the following: (1) The spatial agglomeration of urban-rural transformation was highlighted, and a stable “A” regional spatial structure was formed around Guangzhou, Foshan, Zhuhai, Shenzhen, and Dongguan. (2) The urban-rural transformation changed from a high-intensity expansion mode in the core region to a low-intensity expansion mode in the core periphery region. (3) The urban-rural transformation in the east coast of the Pearl River Delta was better than that in the west coast, and the transformation pace of the Pearl River estuary was faster than that of the periphery region. (4) The urban-rural transformation was affected by natural conditions and socioeconomic development, of which traffic location was the most significant factor. (5) The urban-rural spatial variation originated from the combined effects of regional growth forces, market driving forces, and government control forces.

快速的城市化进程导致区域生产要素的流动和集聚，从而导致城乡领土系统的变化并改变了城乡空间格局。在城乡建设用地动态变化的基础上，本研究着力于推动珠三角地区城乡转型的过程，影响因素和驱动机制。分别利用1990年，2000年，2005年和2017年的城市建设用地矢量数据，自然要素，社会经济数据，地统计分析方法和Logistic回归模型来确定过程的特征和影响因素。从区域增长，市场发展，根据分析还解释了政府的控制措施。结果表明：（1）突出城乡转型的空间集聚，在广州，佛山，珠海，深圳和东莞周围形成了稳定的“ A”型区域结构。（2）城乡转型由核心地区的高强度扩张模式转变为核心周边地区的低强度扩张模式。（3）珠江三角洲东海岸的城乡转换要好于西海岸，而珠江口的转换速度要快于周边地区。（4）城乡转型受自然条件和社会经济发展的影响，其中交通位置是最重要的因素。
