Mismatch between infrastructure supply and demand within a 15-minute living circle evaluation in Fuzhou, China

Abstract

Rapid urbanization has gradually increased the contradiction between the demand and supply of urban resources. The quantitative optimization and adjustment of the infrastructure of the 15-min living circle is conducive to the scientific formulation of living circle planning guidelines, and also allows the evaluation of the effectiveness and practicality of policies. We investigate the spatial allocation pattern of infrastructure construction, the actual service capacity of facilities, and the spatial matching of facility service supply and residents' demand from the spatial dimension. Taking Fuzhou City as an example, this study uses multi-source network big data to accurately quantify the supply and demand, and constructs a 15-min living circle facility service supply evaluation system based on the kernel density analysis method, the network analysis method, and the supply and demand matching model. We propose infrastructure enhancement strategies in conjunction with the current status of Fuzhou's urban development. This study also further explores the factors influencing the spatial distribution of basic service facilities and the construction status of community living circles in China. The results show that (a) The distribution of infrastructure presents a different spatial distribution pattern from the actual service supply within the living circle. (b) The infrastructure service in the main area of Fuzhou can basically cope with the demand of residents, but there is still a mismatch between supply and demand. The areas with insufficient supply are mainly distributed in the periphery of the study area. (c) In order to further improve the construction of community living circle, we should first focus on the sub-districts with low service supply level and insufficient supply. According to the specific distribution of facilities, the number of public service facilities should be increased or decreased based on the demand of residents. This paper enriches the practical application of multi-source network big data in urban infrastructure construction, provides a guideline for the spatial layout and resource allocation of infrastructure in 15-min living circles in other cities.
