Analysis of the vitality measurement and correlation factors of urban waterfront space

Abstract

The long-term development of the city benefits from the creation of space vitality, and the vitality of waterfront space is an important factor that constitutes the city’s characteristic landscape. This paper uses mobile phone signaling data to measure the development trend of waterfront space from the perspective of crowd vitality through nuclear density analysis, paired sample test, and OD matrix analysis. In addition, the influencing factors of waterfront space development differences are measured by Geographic Weighted Analysis (GWR), so as to provide scientific theoretical basis for the layout of waterfront space construction in new cities. The study found that the construction of the waterfront space of the Qijiang River shows the trend of waterback development. The vitality of the waterfront space at different moments shows that the waterback trend of the waterfront space is more obvious during the day. And the main influence mechanism of the vitality of the waterfront space shows that the vitality of the waterfront space has a great correlation with the public service and commercial land, green space, residential land, the diversity of public facilities, the number of residents and the density of the road. Therefore, it is necessary to put forward the development strategy of waterfront space to optimize the regional development.
