Abstract:
The evaluation and construction of urban landscape is a core issue in urban design. Under the concept of the 'urban organism', this thesis takes Hami City, Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region as a case study to explore a hierarchical method for evaluating urban landscape based on quantitative analysis, aiming to provide support for urban design. This paper firstly employs the hierarchical approach to select style characteristic factors for evaluation and constructs a style evaluation system. Secondly, by comparing multiple similar cities in the same region, it obtains weight values for each appearance feature through principal component analysis (PCA) calculations to determine the advantageous landscape resources of the sample city. Finally, the geographic information system (GIS) is utilized to spatially weight and overlay the characteristic factors, resulting in an evaluation map of the urban appearance characteristics' status. The systematic quantitative analysis of urban landscape provides auxiliary analysis for subsequent comprehensive urban design, leading to an urban design plan that integrates ecology, history, and urban construction. It also sets a precedent for the urban design of other small and medium-sized cities.
