Mismatch Between Urban Spatial Perception and Place Attributes:A Case Study of the Central Urban Area of Xiamen
The rapid urban expansion in China has led to a series of urban and environmental challenges,particularly in the uneven development between the built environment and socio-economic activities.However,micro-level studies addressing this issue re-main scarce,and existing research often lacks a systematic exploration of the relationship between subjective urban spatial percep-tions and objective multidimensional place characteristics.Therefore,taking the central urban area of Xiamen as a case,this study constructed a multidimensional indicator system to assess urban spatial perception and place attributes.Based on this,spatial local autocorrelation and coupling coordination degree were utilized to analyze the matching relationship between urban spatial percep-tion and place attributes in Xiamen's central urban area.The results indicate a significant spatial autocorrelation between spatial perception and place attributes within the study area,as well as,mismatches in specific local regions.Older districts and areas with more dated built environments are more prone to low spatial perception-high place attribute mismatches,while newly developed ar-eas and urban fringe green spaces tend to exhibit high spatial perception-low place attribute mismatches.This study introducd indi-vidual visual and emotional perceptions to investigate urban spatial quality and established a novel urban diagnostic model that pro-vides decision-making support for urban renewal and management.
