“…As the redevelopment of urban villages becomes a part of national development strategy in China, it is necessary to explore the influential factors of villagers' redevelopment willingness. Existing studies have investigated the effect of personal characteristics [5][6][7], economic attributes [8], property factors [9] and the redevelopment modes [10][11][12][13] on villagers' redevelopment willingness. However, the literature has neglected the heterogeneity of the villages-partly due to a lack of available data.…”

“…After 2010, given the implementation of the New-Type Urbanization strategy that emphasizes people-oriented urbanization, scholars realized the importance of villagers in the context of redevelopment initiatives and therefore considered their willingness to be a key factor in redevelopment [16]. Scholars argued that urban village redevelopment should respect the redevelopment willingness of the villagers affected and take their interest demands such as reasonable compensation, social security, and public participation into consideration [6,[24][25][26]. In this third stage of research development, scholars discussed villager-focused topics such as housing differentiation between villagers during redevelopment [27], villagers' satisfaction with redevelopment [28], and the post-redevelopment living conditions experienced by the villagers [29,30].…”

“…Using multivariate logit models, scholars reported that male, younger, and healthier villagers are more willing than others to accept redevelopment and also that a large family and a high level of social integration promote redevelopment willingness [31]. There is also a positive relationship between villagers' redevelopment willingness and their trust in the government and the village collective [5,6]. In addition, villagers with higher rental income and a lower evaluation of their current economic status are more likely than those in the opposite condition to accept redevelopment, because they anticipate gaining property or direct monetary compensation [8].…”

“…In accordance with previous studies [5][6][7][8][9]31,35] and drawing on prospect theory, we use four sets of independent variables: personal characteristics, economic attributes, property factors, and expectation factors. We also account for the effect of geographical differences between urban villages on redevelopment willingness.…”

“…The influential factors of urban villagers' redevelopment willingness have been examined in multiple studies. Personal characteristics such as age, educational attainment, the villagers' expectations of redevelopment, and the extent to which the villagers trust the government and the village collective have all been identified as influential in determining redevelopment willingness [5][6][7]. Economic attributes such as rental income and family economic status are also important in shaping villagers' redevelopment willingness [8].…”

As a crucial part of China’s development strategy, the redevelopment of urban villages and the redevelopment willingness of villagers have attracted considerable scholarly interest. However, the literature to date has neglected the effect of the geographical location of urban villages on the redevelopment willingness of villagers. The purpose of this study is to examine the influential factors of the redevelopment willingness of urban villagers, especially with regard to geographical differences and their effects. Based on prospect theory and 1083 questionnaires administered in 45 selected urban villages in Guangzhou, we use the ordinal logistic regression model to explore the influential factors behind villagers’ redevelopment willingness in inner villages (<15 km from the city center), urban fringe villages (15–40 km from the city center), and suburban villages (>40 km from the city center). The results show that in inner villages the confirmation of residential land rights can significantly increase redevelopment willingness, but in urban fringe villages the number of stories in dwelling houses significantly decreases the willingness. Further, a high level of villagers’ trust in the government, market enterprises, and the village collective each has a significant positive impact on the redevelopment willingness of villagers in urban fringe villages. However, only trust in the government and market enterprises have significant positive impacts on redevelopment willingness in the inner villages and only trust in the village collective is significant in this regard in suburban villages. The effects of geographical differences imply that China’s redevelopment policy should be applied in a differentiated way based on the geographical locations of urban villages.

Some of China’s major cities have entered the middle and late stages of urbanization, and the development focus of these cities has gradually shifted from outward expansion to inward renewal. The community, as the basic unit of a city, is undoubtedly the main object of urban renewal. In order to efficiently and effectively address the problems in current community construction, it is necessary to conduct a large-scale in-depth assessment of the community livability, which can directly imply the satisfaction of residents with their quality of life. This study achieved the first comprehensive livability assessment at the individual community scale for 42 major cities of China from the perspective of remotely sensed and crowd-sourced geographic information. Specifically, we produced abundant fine-grained datasets for 42 cities, including high-resolution land cover maps interpreted from Ziyuan-3 satellites (ZY-3, 2.1 m), building height, point-of-interest, and boundaries of 101,630 communities. As designed in our proposed framework, the community livability was evaluated by 5 level-1 indicators, 27 level-2 indicators and an integrated community livability index (CLI). A number of interesting findings were obtained from this assessment: (1) According to the expert questionnaires, living comfort was considered as the most important livability factor for residents with the highest weight, while the building environment was rated the least. The negative factors (e.g., the factories around the community) impacted more on livability than the positive ones. (2) Most communities in major Chinese cities were characterized by dense buildings and sparse green spaces. (3) In these cities, community security construction was severely insufficient, particularly in less developed regions. (4) Imbalanced community livability development was prevalent across cities, and simultaneously, the CLI distribution within cities also exhibited significant spatial aggregation and heterogeneity. This research is expected to reveal the status quo of community livability in China, and thus allow for targeted policy formulation.
