Explore Energy Consumption Feature of Urban Spatial Pattern and Open Green Space

Abstract

Compact city has received worldwide attention of controlling urban sprawl and achieving sustainable, especially in Asia for highly dense population. However, an unforeseen consequence such as overcrowded neighborhoods, health problems resulting from high density, and the destruction of green areas has motivated a self-examination of the compact city concept. In many instances, a high population density attracts more inhabitants, rendering the existing urban green spaces insufficient for use as a living environment. Urban green spaces improve livability in built environment and many other more benefits, especially for urban ecological system. This article attempts to discuss if there is any non-stationary exists between urban green space and compact city by applying ordinary least squares regression (OLS) and geographically weighted regression (GWR). The results exhibited a better performance of GWR as compared with ordinary least squares regression (OLS).
