Research on Convenience Index of Urban Life Based on POI Data

The urban life convenience index is the most important evaluation standard of the livable life. The convenience of residents'daily use of public and service facilities could represent the life convenience of people's urban life. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a decision method that decomposes elements related to decision-making into levels such as objectives, criteria, and programs to perform qualitative and quantitative analysis. POI data has the advantages of high coverage of public service facilities and widely coverage of data, so it is effective to calculate the life convenience index and establish the system for assessing the convenience index of city life based on the POI data and AHP. It not only provides a practical reference for the special planning of urban public service facilities, but also explored good methods for planning applications using opened data.
