Urban Ecological Economic Assessment for Chengdu Using GIS-Emergy Methods

Research results indicate a 2.3-fold surge in carbon dioxide emissions from industrial production in Chengdu. The analysis empirically established a positive correlation between temperature and emergy flows, with a 5.8% growth in energy consumption linked to an extreme temperature of 45°C. This dataset by Li Huang, last updated in 2026, contains PNG and JPG files totaling 9.7 MB.

Use Cases

• Modeling the urban heat island effect based on correlations between temperature and energy consumption.
• Assessing ecological carrying capacity based on the analysis of key ecological indicators and land use projections.
• Analyzing the correlation between atmospheric particulate pollution (PM10, PM2.5) and thermal dynamics.
• Quantifying the economic returns versus ecological pressure of industrial activities.

Strengths

• Contains specific quantitative findings, such as a 2.3-fold increase in CO2 emissions and a 3.6-fold increase in lowest surface temperature.
• Applies an integrated methodology including Kendall’s tau-b, Upset, GIS, and Origin for analysis.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Data is presented as image files (PNG, JPG), limiting direct computational analysis.
• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, requiring manual inspection after download.
• The description is detailed but the underlying raw data files are not described.
