The mountainous area of Wudu-Luding line with fragile environment has become the most serious geographical unit after strong earthquake of Wenchuan and Lushan. It is intractable to reconstruct the damaged habitat after earthquake and inevitable to maintain the social stability of disaster areas. In order to evaluate residence environmental suitability, we selected topography, weather, vegetation, geological disaster, and world natural heritage of giant panda habitat as key factors in the rural residence of Baoxing River Basin. The results are as follows. (1) The distribution of rural residence suitability is characterized by altitude, slope, and aspect, and especially concentrated in the world heritage area and its periphery. This distribution characterization indicates that the terrain is the main influence factor of habitat suitability. The suitability and sub-suitability habitats mainly distribute in the sunny slope and half sunny slope positions where the altitudes are less than 2 900 m and slope gradients are less than 30°; (2) The half shady slope and shady slope places with altitude of greater than 2 900 m and slope greater than 30° are the main distribution areas of sub-unsuitability and unsuitable habitat. This distribution characterization is related to limited factors of vegetation growth, such as high altitude, steep slope and shortage of heat; (3) The suitability of rural residence reduced gradually from the southeast to the northwest. The suitable region accounts for 16.79% of the study area, and sub-suitable region, sub-unsuitable region and unsuitable region account for 26.93%, 32.47% and 23.81%, respectively. According to the above main evaluation results of residence environmental suitability, this research could provide scientific support for the selection of safe site and habitat restoration of earthquake areas.
