Urbanization Index for Zhangjiakou City, 2017-2022

Lemeng Liu constructed a multidimensional urbanization index for Zhangjiakou City, co-host of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. The dataset likely contains indices covering population, economy, built-environment, and ecology from 2017 to 2022, calculated using the CRITIC weighting method. Spatial autocorrelation analysis and GeoDetector were applied to examine urbanization dynamics.

Use Cases

• Analyzing urbanization trends based on multidimensional indices covering population, economy, built-environment, and ecology.
• Examining spatial autocorrelation patterns of economic urbanization.
• Investigating explanatory factors for urbanization dynamics using GeoDetector.
• Studying the impact of Olympic preparation on a medium-sized co-host city.
• Mapping the expansion of high-level urbanization areas over time.

Strengths

• The dataset covers a specific 5-year time range (2017-2022).
• It employs a multidimensional index constructed with a specific weighting method (CRITIC).
• It includes spatial analysis techniques (spatial autocorrelation, GeoDetector).
• It focuses on a defined geographic area (Zhangjiakou City).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small (9.5 KB), indicating limited scope or aggregated summary data.
