Urban Livability Analysis Based on Multi-Source Remote Sensing Data

Le résumé fourni par la source

Abstract. Under the background of city physical examination and assessment in territorial spatial planning, urban livability has become a focus of interest. Urban livability reflects residents' overall satisfaction with their living environment. Previous studies have been constrained by issues such as low data precision, coarse spatial scales, and limited practical applicability. To address these limitations, this study developed a refined livability evaluation framework by multi-source remote sensing data, with a primary emphasis on high-resolution domestic satellite imagery, including Gaofen (GF-1) and Ziyuan (ZY-3). Integrated with Suomi NPP night-time light data and socio-economic datasets, the research assessed four key dimensions, which were safety and resilience, residential comfort, recreation convenience, and quality and vitality in the city of Wuhan and Yibin at a detailed kilometer-grid scale. Results revealed distinct spatial patterns of urban livability of the two cities: Wuhan's central urban areas exhibited higher, more clustered livability, driven largely by quality and vitality, whereas Yibin showed a more fragmented pattern with strengths in recreation convenience but relative weaknesses in residential comfort and urban vitality. This study underscores the significant value of high-resolution, multi-source remote sensing data in enabling precise, spatially explicit livability analysis, thereby providing a scientific basis for targeted spatial planning and urban quality enhancement.
