Abstract
Point of interest (POI) data can provide a clear spatial location and accurate attributes for geoscience research. The traditional assessment of Beautiful China construction (BCC) has relied on statistical materials, which have shortcomings in terms of timeliness, authenticity, efficiency, and accuracy. Referring to the theoretical framework of the Zhongke Beauty Index, we built an evaluation index system and technical process based on POI data. In terms of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (IMAR), 5.09 million POIs were collected using the web crawler technique, and the Beautiful Inner Mongolia construction evaluation and analysis were performed. The results show the following: (1) POI data can be used to establish an evaluation index system for the construction of Beautiful Inner Mongolia on the county scale; in the dimensions of industrial development, social harmony, and institutional improvement, it shows especially good application prospects. (2) The Beautiful Inner Mongolia index in 2020 was 0.22. Among the five dimensions, the industrial development index was the highest, while the cultural heritage index was the lowest. We found significant spatial differences in the dimensions of cultural heritage as well as social harmony. (3) The areas in the IMAR with a low-level construction were mostly industrial and mining areas, agricultural counties, and other economically developing areas, among which the Baiyunebo mining area and Xianghuangqi and Shiguai areas had the lowest comprehensive beauty index values. (4) We also found large numerical disparities in the level of Beautiful Inner Mongolia construction between municipal districts and banners/counties, and the ranking of each region was affected by the population and coverage areas of administrative units. After verification, we found an overall good consistency between the evaluation indexes proposed in this paper and a previous study. Therefore, this paper provides a new perspective and an effective method for the application of Internet big data in economic and social evaluation work.
Highlights
In 2012, the report of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) introduced the concept of “Beautiful China” and emphasized the important role of the construction of the ecological civilization, forming a theoretical prototype of “Beautiful China construction” (BCC) [1,2]
We evaluated Beautiful Inner Mongolia Construction based on Point of interest (POI) data and built an index system that can be compared with the previous methods, which helps to understand the construction shortcomings of various banners in Inner Mongolia and to explore the factors influencing the evaluation of Beautiful Inner Mongolia construction
We aimed to establish an index system and technical route for the evaluation of BCC using internet big data technology and geographic information technology, starting from the theoretical system of Beautiful China Construction and based on the latest POI data provided by Amap
Summary
In 2012, the report of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) introduced the concept of “Beautiful China” and emphasized the important role of the construction of the ecological civilization, forming a theoretical prototype of “Beautiful China construction” (BCC) [1,2]. In 2017, the 19th CPC National Congress again included Beautiful China in the report, further clarifying the concept of green development, requiring the promotion of ecological civilization construction and speeding up the reform of the ecological civilization system [4]. In February 2020, the National Development and Reform Commission issued the evaluation index system and implementation plan for Beautiful China construction. It introduced an evaluation scheme including five dimensions and 22 specific indicators, involving fresh air, clean water, soil safety, good ecology, and clean human settlements [5]. In June 2020, Ge et al conducted an in-depth analysis of the relationship between Beautiful China construction and the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) issued by the United Nations and found that Beautiful China construction is an effective method of achieving the 2030 Agenda SDGs [6]
