A Study on Spatial Accessibility and Distribution Suitability of Mutual Property Right Housing in Shanghai

Abstract

This study utilizes ArcGIS to investigate the spatial distribution of mutual property right housing and the spatial accessibility of supporting public service facilities in Shanghai. Through kernel density analysis and standard deviation ellipses, the study examines the spatial characteristics of mutual property right housing from 2017 to 2022. It further elucidates the spatial distribution differences between affordable housing and public service facilities, revealing an overall outer-ring, multi-centered, and ring-shaped distribution pattern. The areas with higher suitability for spatial layout are Qingpu District, Minhang District, Baoshan District, and Pudong New Area. Suggestions for optimizing spatial layout are proposed to provide reasonable site planning recommendations for mutual property right housing in Shanghai and other cities, promoting the healthy and sustainable development of affordable housing construction in China.
