Abstract

The survey shows: the score of overall satisfaction with urban green development is 0.121 and the urban residents generally hold a positive attitude to green development. However, there is still some gap between the state of green development and public expectations. The overall satisfaction varies greatly from city to city, with western cities ranking the highest, eastern and northeastern regions relatively high, and Central China the lowest. Among the indicators of satisfaction, the satisfaction with the urban environment and infrastructure is higher, but residents are dissatisfied with the government’s green actions, showing that the government should introduce more targeted and effective policies to support urban green development.

Notes

  1. 1.

    â‘ The scores of Karamay are significantly higher than other cities in terms of the overall satisfaction and three indicators, and even 0.2 higher than the city ranking the second. Therefore, in order to avoid the exaggeration of the inter-city differences, we only compare cities from the second to the 38th in terms of the inter-city difference unless otherwise specified.

  2. 2.

    Including traffic noise, construction noise and entertainment noise etc.
