[Objective]The aims of this study are to scientifically evaluate and clarify the regional types and spatial patterns of human settlement environment suitability, and to provide a basis for rationally guiding the distribution of settlements and populations. [Methods]With the help of geospatial data and GIS technology, based on the grid scale from the natural, ecological, production, living, social environment aspects, 30 indicators were selected to carry out the suitability evaluation of human settlements environment in Xilingol pastoral area and to analyze the correlation between settlement and population distribution. [Results](1)The suitability of human settlement environment in Xilingol pastoral area decreased gradually from east to west, and with the general suitable area was the largest, the overall livable level was not high. The living environment and ecological conditions had a strong restrictive effect on the human settlement environment. The level of social public services needs to be improved.(2)From the point of view of banner/city, livable degree of the human settlement environment was higher in the southeast such as Xilinhot City, Xiwuzhumuqin Banner, Dongwuzhumuqin Banner and Zhenglan Banner, while it was relatively lower in the northwest such as Sunitezuo Banner, Suniteyou Banner, Erlianhot City and Abaga Banner. From the point of view of Sumu/town, the first and second class Sumu/town of higher livability accounted for 56.94%, the fourth and fifth class Sumu/town of lower livability accounted for 20.83%.(3)The number of settlements in the generally suitable areas for human settlement environment and above accounted for 91.34%, the proportion of the population accounted for 91.28%. The settlements and population distribution had suitable regional directional characteristics. [Conclusion]The suitability degree of human settlement environment fundamentally determines the spatial distribution of settlement and population in pastoral areas. In the future, it is necessary to promote differentially the settlement reconstruction and ecological immigration, and to improve the human settlement environment in pastoral areas.
