Urban Sustainable Development Evaluation Based on System Dynamic Model

Abstract:

Evaluation for urban sustainable development is very significant to improve the future development of urban. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is very popular used to evaluate the urban sustainable development, but limited to forecasting the future development. In the study, a model designed based on SD and AHP is expected to resolve this problem. And we take Zhangye city in Gansu province as an example to study the evaluation performance of the model. The result of the urban sustainable development is getting better and better towards 2020. The result shows that the development of Zhangye city is going to be good in future 10 years. The experimental results indicate the effectiveness and correctness of the proposed method.
