There exists a complex interplay between human activities and human settlement in these regions. However, current research on urban human settlement in arid areas remains insufficient in comprehensively considering both the natural and cultural environments, and integrated studies on the spatial relationship between human activity intensity (HAI) and urban human settlement quality (HSQ) are still lacking. To address this gap, this study constructs an evaluation framework for urban HSQ in arid areas from an integrated perspective that combines natural and cultural environments. The framework includes three dimensions: natural environment quality, living facilities quality, and traffic accessibility quality. Using Urumqi, a major city in northwest China, as a case study, this paper analyzes the spatial relationship between urban HSQ and HAI. Results reveal a distinct \"core-periphery\" structure in Urumqi, where deficiencies in life and public service facilities are the primary obstacles to improving HSQ. Although a significant global spatial positive correlation exists between HSQ and HAI, spatial matching is poorly aligned. The future development of urban human settlement in arid areas should not only focus on enhancing natural environment quality but also actively ensure the provision of cultural environment to meet the needs of human activities. Additionally, effective measures should be taken to reduce disparities in urban HSQ between core and peripheral areas. This study provides new insights into the development of urban human settlement in arid areas and holds significant implications for achieving harmonious coexistence between humans and nature.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48376,"journal":{"name":"Habitat International","volume":"161 ","pages":"Article 103422"},"PeriodicalIF":6.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143902174","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By employing multiple probability calculations, the Visiting Preference Index (VPI) was introduced to quantify preference for seven categories of PSFs within residents’ daily travel distance. Spatial analysis reveals three key findings: (1) Distinct age-based preferences emerge: the teenager prioritizing education, the youth and middle-aged favoring transportation, and the senior requiring healthcare. Teenager and senior share similar characteristics of VPI; (2) Significant spatial heterogeneity exists: transportation facilities exhibit a higher level VPI in periphery areas than in central areas. Conversely, the other six categories of PSFs showed an inverse pattern. Notable differences in VPI are observed among different age groups and across urban districts for each type of PSFs; (3) Within the traditional living circle, PSFs failed to meet over 95 % of demand. However, satisfaction increased to over 90 % after expanding the radius to match age-specific traveled distances: 9.39 km for senior, 12.12 km for teenager, 12.62 km for middle-aged, and 12.86 km for youth.

Although the regional and social disparity of UPF's distribution is well documented, researchers seldom consider the spatial distribution disparities between multiple types of UPF and vulnerable groups at a fine scale. This study built a comprehensive evaluation framework with a fine-grained model, which is comprised of grid-based partitioning, multi-source data crawling, cumulative opportunity model, and spatial statistical analysis, to analyze spatial equity in Guangzhou, China. The accessibility to UPF and the social vulnerability index (SVI) are measured utilizing the cumulative opportunity measure and principal component analysis (PCA). This study, therefore, analyzed the imbalance between the distribution of UPF and vulnerable groups. Moreover, the study accurately identified spatial inequity areas using the Gini coefficient and bivariate Moran's I. The results show that numerous areas within the study area have limited opportunities to access UPF. Nevertheless, the formation of multiple urban centers during urbanization has increased the diversity of accessible types of UPF within the community life unit. In addition, due to the aging population in the old city center and the complex population structure of urban villages, the areas in the old town often become high-value clusters spatially with SVI. In particular, due to planning problems caused by urban villages, these areas are often prone to become spatial inequity areas characterized by \"high SVI - low comprehensive accessibility.\" This evaluation framework is user-friendly and suitable for application in other cities, helping to identify spatial inequity areas that require planning intervention and priority.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48376,"journal":{"name":"Habitat International","volume":"161 ","pages":"Article 103423"},"PeriodicalIF":6.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143879167","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mining factors explain the decrease in ecosystem carbon storage better than urbanization factors.
