  We present a numerical study on the light transport properties and statistics
of transmission channels in random media with inhomogeneous disorder. For the
case of longitudinal inhomogeneity of disorder we find that the statistics of
the transmission channels is independent of the inhomogeneity and the system
can be equivalent to a counterpart with homogeneous disorder strength, both of
which have the same statistical distribution of the transmission channels.
However, for the case of transverse inhomogeneity of disorder, such equivalence
does not exist, moreover, the transmission eigenvalues are pushed to the two
ends of the distribution and the distribution of the total transmission is
broadened since the spatial structure gives rise to larger and smaller
transmitted incident channels.
