As one of the most important growth poles in West China, Xi’an realized urban average annual growth rate of population of 1.85％ and annual growth rate of GDP of 13.5% from 2000 to 2007. Between 2003 and 2007, the annual growth rate for total number of registered vehicles was 12.2%. An urban road network as the foundation of a city’s development is a powerful guarantee for the normal operation of various basic functions of a city and the development of social economy. In recent years, the construction level, service level and operation efficiency of urban traffic infrastructure in Xi’an have been improved greatly, but there are still some problems. For example, the road network is incomplete, the links among different roads are limited, and some roads have too much traffic; urban entrance and exit have traffic jams, and it is difficult to connect with the suburban expressways; east-west and south-north arterial roads in old urban area are faced with big pressures; there are less pedestrian crossing facilities, and pedestrians, vehicles and non-motor vehicles intermingle in a manner that impacts all three adversely; the lack of parking facilities forces vehicles to park on the roadside, exacerbating traffic congestion. To build an efficient, convenient, and environmentally advantageous modern traffic system, perfect urban infrastructure system, and comprehensively improve urban service functions, Xi’an plans to make use of an ADB loan for the improvement of Xi’an Urban Road Network, and attempts to promote the construction and systematic management of urban integrated transportation system by an all-round and overall scheme, thus facilitating the sustainable development of urban economy. The project will build connecting lines for urban road, interchanges, develop bus priority, construct non-motor vehicles roads, improve pedestrian safety, construct comprehensive 1 transportation hub, enhance traffic management, and control traffic emission. In January 2012, Xi’an and ADB signed an agreement on loan of US$ 150 million. In order to better solve the urban traffic

  • Quantifying Urban Vegetation Coverage Change with a Linear Spectral Mixing Model: a Case Study in Xi’An, China
    DOI: 10.2478/eces-2021-0008 ECOL CHEM ENG S. 2021;28(1):87-100 Xuan ZHAO 1 and Jianjun LIU 1* QUANTIFYING URBAN VEGETATION COVERAGE CHANGE WITH A LINEAR SPECTRAL MIXING MODEL: A CASE STUDY IN XI’AN, CHINA Abstract: With the rapid development of urban area of Xi’an in recent years, the contradiction between ecological environmental protection and urban development has become prominent. The traditional remote sensing classification method has been unable to meet the accuracy requirements of urban vegetation monitoring. Therefore, how to quickly and accurately conduct dynamic monitoring of urban vegetation based on the spectral component characteristics of vegetation is urgent. This study used the data of Landsat 5 TM and Landsat 8 OLI in 2011, 2014 and 2017 as main information source and LSMM, region of variation grid analysis and other methods to analyse the law of spatial-temporal change of vegetation components in Xi’an urban area and its influencing factors. The result shows that: (1) The average vegetation coverage of the study area from 2011 to 2017 reached more than 50 %, meeting the standard of National Garden City (great than 40 %). The overall vegetation coverage grade was high, but it had a decreasing trend during this period. (2) The vegetation in urban area of Xi’an experienced a significant change. From 2011 to 2017, only 30 % of the low-covered vegetation, 24.39 % of the medium-covered vegetation and 20.15 % of the high-covered vegetation remained unchanged, while the vegetation in the northwest, northeast, southwest and southeast of the edge of the city’s third ring changed significantly.

Accurately identifying this boundary in a given area is an important prerequisite for studies of these areas, but previous research has used fairly simplistic factors to distinguish the two areas (such as population density). In this study, we built a model combining multi-layer conditions and cumulative percentage methods based on five indicators linking spatial, economic, and demographic factors to produce a more comprehensive and quantitative method for identifying rural and urban areas. Using Xi’an, China as a case study, our methods produced a more accurate determination of the rural-urban divide when compared to data from the National Bureau of Statistics of the People’s Republic of China. Specifically, the urbanization level was 3.24% lower in the new model, with a total urban area that was 621.87 km2 lower. These results were checked by field survey and satellite imagery for accuracy.

  • Evaluation of the Equity and Regional Management of Some Urban Green Space Ecosystem Services: a Case Study of Main Urban Area of Xi’An City
    Article Evaluation of the Equity and Regional Management of Some Urban Green Space Ecosystem Services: A Case Study of Main Urban Area of Xi’an City Hui Dang 1, Jing Li 1,*, Yumeng Zhang 1 and Zixiang Zhou 2 1 School of Geography and Tourism, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi’an 710119, China; [email protected] (H.D.); [email protected] (Y.Z.) 2 College of Geomatics, Xi’an University of Science and Technology, Xi’an 710054, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-137-2061-8191 Abstract: Urban green spaces can provide many types of ecosystem services for residents. An imbalance in the pattern of green spaces leads to an inequality of the benefits of such spaces. Given the current situation of environmental problems and the basic geographical conditions of Xi’an City, this study evaluated and mapped four kinds of ecosystem services from the perspective of equity: biodiversity, carbon sequestration, air purification, and climate regulation. Regionalization with dynamically constrained agglomerative clustering and partitioning (REDCAP) was used to obtain the partition groups of ecosystem services. The results indicate that first, the complexity of the urban green space community is low, and the level of biodiversity needs to be improved. The dry deposition flux of particulate matter (PM2.5) decreases from north to south, and green spaces enhance the adsorption of PM2.5. Carbon sequestration in the south and east is higher than that in the north and west, respectively. The average surface temperature in green spaces is lower than that in other urban areas.

  • Study on Temporal and Spatial Variation Characteristics and Influencing Factors of Land Use Efficiency in Xi’An, China
    sustainability Article Study on Temporal and Spatial Variation Characteristics and Influencing Factors of Land Use Efficiency in Xi’an, China Jing Huang and Dongqian Xue * School of Geographical Science and Tourism, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi’an 710062, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 17 October 2019; Accepted: 22 November 2019; Published: 25 November 2019 Abstract: China’s urban land use has shifted from incremental expansion to inventory eradication. The traditional extensive management mode is difficult to maintain, and the fundamental solution is to improve land use efficiency. Xi’an, the largest central city in Western China, was selected as the research area. The super-efficiency data envelopment analysis (DEA) model and Malmquist index method were used to measure the land use efficiency of each district and county in the city from the micro perspective, and the spatial-temporal change characteristics and main influencing factors of land use efficiency were analyzed, which not only made up for the research content of urban land use efficiency in China’s underdeveloped areas, but also pointed out the emphasis and direction for the improvement of urban land use efficiency. The results showed that: (1) The land use efficiency of Xi’an reflected the land use intensive level of the underdeveloped areas in Western China, that is, the overall intensive level was not high, the gap between the urban internal land use efficiency was large, the land use efficiency of the old urban area and the mature built-up area was relatively high, and the land use efficiency of the emerging expansion area and the edge area was relatively low.

  • Quantifying the Spatial Heterogeneity and Driving Factors of Aboveground Forest Biomass in the Urban Area of Xi’An, China
    International Journal of Geo-Information Article Quantifying the Spatial Heterogeneity and Driving Factors of Aboveground Forest Biomass in the Urban Area of Xi’an, China Xuan Zhao 1, Jianjun Liu 1,*, Hongke Hao 2 and Yanzheng Yang 3 1 College of Landscape Architecture and Art, Northwest A&F University, Xianyang 712100, China; [email protected] 2 College of Forestry, Northwest A&F University, Xianyang 712100, China; [email protected] 3 State Key Laboratory of Urban and Regional Ecology, Research Center for Eco-Environmental Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100085, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 14 October 2020; Accepted: 10 December 2020; Published: 12 December 2020 Abstract: Investigating the spatial distribution of urban forest biomass and its potential influencing factors would provide useful insights for configuring urban greenspace. Although China is experiencing an unprecedented scale of urbanization, the spatial pattern of the urban forest biomass distribution as a critical component in the urban landscape has not been fully examined. Using the geographic detector method, this research examines the impacts of four geographical factors (GFs)—dominant tree species, forest categories, land types, and age groups—on the aboveground biomass distribution of urban forests in 1480 plots in Xi’an, China. The results indicate that (1) the aboveground biomass and four GFs show obvious heterogeneity regarding their spatial distribution in Xi’an; (2) the dominant tree species and age group which impacts the patterns of aboveground biomass are the primary GFs, with the independent q value (a statistic metric used to quantify the impacts of GFs in this study) reaching 0.595 and 0.202, respectively, while the forest category and land type were weakly linked to the spatial variation of aboveground biomass, with a q value of 0.087 and 0.076, respectively; and (3) the interactions among these four GFs also tend to contribute to the distribution pattern of aboveground biomass.
