“…The prominence of historic built environment features in our findings highlights their critical role in shaping resident satisfaction. This underscores the need for urban planners and policymakers to consider these elements not just as cultural or aesthetic attributes but as essential factors contributing to the quality of urban life [4,67].…”

Historic cities, rich in heritage values and evocative of collective memories and meanings, also constitute crucial living environments for urban residents. These cities increasingly face challenges from urbanization and globalization, leading to cultural discontinuities and the homogenization of cityscapes. Such developments can diminish residents’ sense of belonging and identification with their cities. Emphasizing local residents’ satisfaction is thus essential to urban conservation. This study, using data from Dandong, China, employs Gradient Boosting Decision Trees (GBDT) to identify factors affecting residents’ satisfaction in historic built environments. The analysis reveals that over half of the variability in satisfaction is linked to distinct features of the historic environment. Among the fourteen key influencers identified, contextual order emerges as the most impactful factor, notable for its significant effects and interactions with other variables. This study also uncovers pronounced non-linear effects and thresholds for physically measured characteristics. For instance, open space markedly boosts satisfaction when exceeding 34%, satisfaction diminishes with travel times to heritage sites longer than 6.7 min, and satisfaction decreases when the entropy index for diversity surpasses 0.758. These findings provide critical insights for guiding urban conservation strategies and promoting a data-driven approach to enhance residents’ satisfaction in historic urban settings.

The Nanjing Circumvallation has been severely damaged due to natural factors, human interference, and urban expansion. Restoring this edifice serves not only as a preservation of historikcal and cultural values, but also as an advancement towards sustainable urban development. This research proposes an environmental ethical decision-making model (EEDM) grounded in sustainable urban development indicators. The model is then applied to the restoration of the Nanjing Circumvallation. Based on feedback from the research trial section, the renovation of the Circumvallation trial segment, guided by the EEDM, effectively embodies the core principles of sustainable urban development. By extending this model to the entire restoration project, it is feasible to achieve a harmonious balance between heritage preservation and urban sustainability. This methodology offers a novel framework for the restoration of similar heritage sites, ensuring the concurrent achievement of conservation and sustainable development goals. Furthermore, this approach holds considerable promise for fostering sustainable urban progression.
