Livability Evaluation of Land Ecological Space in Beijing, China Based on Geographical Conditions Census

The general survey of geographical conditions based on remote sensing technology has been the main land space monitoring activity in China in recent years.To make census results better serve society, in this paper, we evaluate the livability of Beijing's land space.Based on socioeconomic data and the data from the census of national geographical conditions, an analytic hierarchy process was used to quantitively calculate the livability scores.Six subsystems were included in our calculations: social development, economic development, ecological environment, resource carrying capacity, infrastructure, and public safety, and finally, a comprehensive score is calculated.The Xicheng, Chaoyang, and Haidian Districts of Beijing are ranked highest for livability, and Yanqing, Daxing, and Fangshan Districts are ranked lowest.We find that social development, economic development, infrastructure, and the ecological environment contribute the most to livability scores, while public safety and resource carrying capacity contribute the least.To improve comprehensive regional livability, it is necessary to pay attention to the balanced development of public security and resource carrying capacity.
