Abstract

Build an evaluation index system of ecological livable city, investigate the ecological livable level of Zhuzhou City from the perspective of residents’ satisfaction, study the influencing factors of residents’ satisfaction by using exploratory factor analysis, analysis of variance and correlation analysis, and calculate the ecological livable level of Zhuzhou City and its four main urban areas. The research results show that: (1) The satisfaction evaluation of ecological livability in Zhuzhou City is mainly composed of four-dimensional factors: urban participation, human settlements, urban security and human settlements economy, and the impact effect shows a decreasing trend. (2) There are significant differences in the satisfaction evaluation of various factors in terms of residents’ age, educational background and length of residence, and there is a significant negative correlation between residents’ sense of belonging and satisfaction. (3) The overall satisfaction level of ecological livability in Zhuzhou is general. Among the four main urban areas, lushong district has the highest satisfaction score and Hetang district has the lowest score. On this basis, put forward targeted policy suggestions to improve the ecological livability of Zhuzhou City.
