Abstract
An index system is established for evaluating the level of sustainable development of resources-based cities, and each index is calculated based on the unascertained measure model for 11 resources-based cities in Shanxi Province in 2013 from three aspects; namely, economic, social, and resources and environment. The result shows that Taiyuan City enjoys a high level of sustainable development and integrated development of economy, society, and resources and environment. Shuozhou, Changzhi, and Jincheng have basically realized sustainable development. However, Yangquan, Linfen, Lvliang, Datong, Jinzhong, Xinzhou and Yuncheng have a low level of sustainable development and urgently require a transition. Finally, for different cities, we propose different countermeasures to improve the level of sustainable development.
Highlights
In 1987, the World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED) proposed the concept of “sustainable development”
Evaluating sustainable development is the basis of urban sustainable development research, and precise evaluation is key in guiding the formulation and implementation the sustainable development strategy
The promotion of sustainable development in resource-based cities, that is a city that is heavily dependent on its natural resources, is one of the major strategic issues in the current Chinese urbanization process
Summary
In 1987, the World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED) proposed the concept of “sustainable development”. Through analyzing objective reality, according to the relative importance of each level, it quantifies using mathematical methods to determine the relative importance order weights of all the elements of each level To this end, the author optimizes the combination of the unascertained measure theory and the analytic hierarchy process, building a comprehensive evaluation model of sustainable development of resources-based cities. The author optimizes the combination of the unascertained measure theory and the analytic hierarchy process, building a comprehensive evaluation model of sustainable development of resources-based cities This evaluation model was used for 11 cities in Shanxi Province, with a focus on research comparing the level of sustainable development of resource-based cities. According to the different circumstances of each city, suggestions are made for sustainable development of resources-based cities
