Functional Evolution and Influencing Factors of Urban Rail Transit Stations in Xi'an City
The function of urban rail transit stations reflects of the status of urban land use and spatial vitality.The coordinated development of rail transit stations and urban land use plays a positive role in alleviating traffic con-gestion pressure and improving land use efficiency.This study investigated the evolution of station functions and in-fluencing factors in the central area of Xi'an from 2011 to 2020,using information entropy,dominance,equilibri-um,and multiple regression model.The results indicated that the station functions during this period were charac-terized by a wave-like rise,intermediate stability with peripheral changes,and mixed-initiative.Commercial func-tions and the distance to the city center were the main factors driving the evolution of station functions.Among these factors,commercial functions had a positive impact on the mixing degree of station functions,while the distance to the city center had the opposite effect.Meanwhile,during the planning phase,the urban spatial pattern had a sig-nificant impact on station functions.During the construction phase,the regional economic level gained prominence as a determining factor.Subsequently,during the operational phase,the commercial service industry emerged as the primary force driving the evolution of station functions.Based on the investigation of the spatial and temporal variation of urban rail transit station function evolution and the influencing factors,it is helpful to optimize the land use of the area around the stations and enhance the vitality of urban rail transit stations.
