Evaluation of the suitability of human settlements in Qingpu district, Shanghai

Abstract

In recent decades, people's attention to human settlements has been increasing. However, the research on the evaluation method of the suitability of human settlements is still in the exploratory stage, and there is no universally accepted evaluation method worldwide. Considering the uncertainty in the evaluation index system, this paper combines the set pair analysis (SPA) theory and the Logistic model to construct a new evaluation model of the suitability of human settlements and applies the model to the dynamic evaluation of the suitability of human settlements in Qingpu district from 2007 to 2016. The evaluation results show that the overall suitability of human settlements in Qingpu district is on the rise. Based on the analysis of the evaluation results, this paper puts forward some opinions on the development plan of Qingpu District and verifies the validity of the constructed model.

Comprehensive Evaluation and Analysis of Human Settlements’ Suitability in the Yangtze River Delta Based on Multi-Source Data

“…Since the scientific establishment of human settlements, studies related to human settlements have gradually become a hot topic. Extensive research has been carried out on the suitability of human settlements [12][13][14][15], taking mountainous cities [16], watershed cities [17], coastal cities [18] and other areas as research objects, and starting from the perspectives of nature and society [18][19][20]. With the help of an econometric model and geographic information system, a visual analysis was carried out on the suitability of human settlements [21,22] to explore temporal and spatial distribution characteristics [23,24] and predict future development trends [25].…”
