Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of the employment and residential functions of Xi'an City People's Stadium and the factors influencing ambient fine particle (PM_2.5) concentrations. The spatial distribution of employment and home locations in Xi'an extends to the surrounding in the form of “employment-mixed-residential-mixed”. Based on this result, the PM_2.5 concentration data, environmental factors, traffic flow data, and the jobs-housing imbalance factor are selected to fit the PM_2.5 concentration of the City People's Stadium, with an adjusted R² of 0.97. The dissipative structure theory is used to analyze the PM_2.5 at the City People's Stadium, identifying the factors leading to a threshold exceedance for PM_2.5. This study tests a 20 % reduction in traffic flow in Xi'an to verify the model's effectiveness at detecting threshold exceedance.
