Evaluation of the Suitability of Urban Underground Space Development Based on Multi-Criteria Decision-Making and Geographic Information Systems
The rational development of urban underground space resources (UUSRs) is especially crucial for alleviating “urban diseases”, and it is of great significance for exploring the appropriateness of urban underground space (UUS) development under multiple constraints for the rational use of UUSRs.

| description | The rational development of urban underground space resources (UUSRs) is especially crucial for alleviating “urban diseases”, and it is of great significance for exploring the appropriateness of urban underground space (UUS) development under multiple constraints for the rational use of UUSRs. This research selects the UUS in Nantong City, Jiangsu Province, as the research object, and establishes an evaluation index system for the suitability of UUS development under the perspective of sustainable development, including terrain and geomorphology, engineering geological environment, hydrogeological environment, sensitive geological factors, the regional development level, and the distribution of ecological reserve, as well as other multi-source heterogeneous data. On this basis, the relationship between the appropriateness of underground space development and the utilization and various factors was studied. We constructed a comprehensive evaluation model for the suitability of UUS using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the multi-objective linear weighting method. The results of the study show that ecological protection constraints and geological hazards have a greater impact on the evaluation of suitability. The suitable and secondarily suitable areas for the development of the underground space in Nantong City account for 14.74% and 30.66% of the total area, respectively. These areas are mainly distributed in Rugao City and Chongchuan District. The less suitable and unsuitable areas account for 37.17% and 17.44%, with a significant concentration in near-sea areas. |
