- Abstract:
-
By taking the 35 municipalities in Northeast China as studied cases, an principles-oriented index system was firstly proposed which contained 12 indicators categorized as 3 subsystems named as economic-, social- and ecological-subsystem, and then the developmental indices were calculated by employing the modified sustainability assessment model and analytic hierarchy process method, followed by index’ visual and exploring analysis, finally the spatial relationship and basic phenomenon into municipal scale sustainability measurement were concluded. The results showed that the successful transited industrial and new-emerging cities such as Shenyang and Dalian had higher sustainability, while lower sustainability was found in the outland and transiting cities, the effectiveness of the central city was significance which meant they had obvious influences on its satellite and surrounding cities, coupling and dual-shifting relationship existed among economic-, social- and ecological-subsystem. It is suggested that policies towards for sustainable development must closely combine with the local conditions and made appropriate methods in respect of macro level such as urban clusters and economic zone.
