“…Open spaces, parks, or business areas concentrated at specific locations are case in point. Likewise, downtown areas have large influence on the usage of certain facilities such as shopping malls, metro stations, or hospitals (You and Tunc¸er, 2016). A way to overcome this problem is by including distance-based measures such as the distance to the nearest hospital or the distance to the nearest sport center (Lee et al, 2015;Mouratidis, 2018;Saitluanga, 2014;Satu and Chiu, 2019).…”

“…Hence, different government institutions have included these objectives in their strategies. The concern of livability in Singapore's urban space has led to an increasing number of studies (Benita et al, 2019;Teo, 2014;You and Tunc¸er, 2016;Yuen and Hien, 2005). Also, several international surveys on livability have positioned the city as one of the most livable places worldwide.…”

This article introduces a Spatial Livability Index based on geographically weighted principal component analysis. We study the case of 203 subzones in Singapore which are dense geographic boundaries in terms of population and built-up area. These regions share spatial correlations of objective measures of livability such as open spaces or community facilities. The proposed objective indicator captures the “hidden” patterns of livability provided by neighboring locations. Moreover, the results allow to identify atypical areas, that is geographical units that score very good/bad under the spatial approach but very bad/good under the non-spatial framework of livability.
