| description | With urbanization accelerating, preserving and utilizing urban wilderness is crucial for sustainable development. This study focuses on Shenzhen, China, developing a framework to identify and manage urban novel wilderness areas. Using the Weighted Linear Combination (WLC) method, MaxEnt model, and Geoda for spatial autocorrelation, it assesses wilderness value and recreational potential. High-value wilderness areas cover 693.14 km2, while recreational potential areas cover 149.26 km2. Key factors influencing these areas include water proximity, wildlife activities, residential density, and camping site accessibility. The study proposes strategies to integrate ecological and recreational values into urban planning and management. |
