Area Of Science
- Urban studies
- Environmental science
- Spatial analysis
Background
- Urban vitality is crucial for social and economic development, influencing urban quality and resident well-being.
- Existing research often neglects big data integration and spatial heterogeneity in urban environments.
- Understanding these factors is vital for sustainable urban planning and development.
Purpose Of The Study
- To measure urban vitality using multi-source big data in Yinchuan.
- To analyze the influence of 2D/3D built environment variables on urban vitality.
- To investigate the spatially heterogeneous relationships between the built environment and urban vitality using Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR).
Main Methods
- Utilized multi-source big data for urban vitality measurement.
- Incorporated 2D/3D variables to characterize the built environment.
- Applied a Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) model to explore spatial heterogeneity.
Main Results
- Built environment factors significantly impact urban vitality, especially in central districts.
- Positive spatial autocorrelation and clustering patterns were observed in the influence of built environment on vitality.
- Significant spatial heterogeneity was found across different regions of Yinchuan.
Conclusions
- The built environment is a key determinant of urban vitality, with spatially varying effects.
- Targeted, multidimensional strategies are proposed for enhancing urban vitality.
- Findings offer theoretical support and practical guidance for Yinchuan and other cities facing similar urban challenges.

As the construction industry moves towards more eco-friendly practices, concrete's adaptability and its ability to incorporate sustainable features make it a key material in the drive towards greener building solutions.
There are multiple approaches to achieve sustainability in a commercial concrete building. For instance, construct a concrete parking area under the building, utilizing pervious concrete paver blocks in open areas to facilitate rainwater collection through an underground...
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) operate across three levels of application, each representing an increasing degree of complexity: data management, analysis, and prediction. These levels reflect the expanding functionality and versatility of GIS technology in handling spatial data for diverse purposes.Data ManagementAt its foundational level, GIS serves as a tool for data management, enabling the input, storage, retrieval, and organization of spatial data. This level is often employed in...
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) rely on two core types of data: spatial data and attribute data.Spatial DataSpatial data defines the physical location of features within a coordinate system, typically expressed in terms of latitude and longitude. It provides precise positioning for elements like roads, rivers, or buildings.Attribute DataAttribute data complements spatial data by adding descriptive information about these features. For example, a road's spatial data includes its start and...
Flood risk assessment involves careful planning and analysis to ensure the safety of communities near water retention structures. Capacity contours are a vital tool in this process, as they illustrate the potential spread of water at specific levels in a given area. In the context of building a bund across a small valley, these contours play a critical role in evaluating the safety of nearby residential areas.In this example, the bund is intended to store stormwater in the valley. The engineers...
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are tools for storing, analyzing, and displaying spatial data alongside related attributes. Unlike traditional information systems that address general queries, GIS incorporates spatial components, enabling users to answer "where" and "how far." For example, GIS can process housing data linked to geographic locations like zip codes, allowing insights into population density or housing distribution through thematic maps.GIS integrates technologies such as...
