Spatial heterogeneity of influential factors of urban housing prices based on multiscale geographically weighted regression models: A case study of the main urban area of Guilin ci... by 李杰杰(LI Jiejie), 孙昌盛(SUN Changsheng), 张春英(ZHANG Chunying), 胡欣琪(HU Xinqi)

“…The results indicate that: (1) Significant spatial autocorrelation is observed in housing prices in Guilin City, and the local spatial autocorrelation reveals a distinct clustering pattern characterized by predominant "high-high" and "low-low" clusters, with smaller occurrences of "high-low" and "low-high" clusters. (2) Compared to ordinary least squares (OLS) model and geographically weighted regression (GWR) model, MGWR model demonstrates higher coefficients of determination, enabling more accurate measurement of the scale and spatial variability of variable effects on housing prices. (3) The age of housing, education/medical and business facilities serve as global variables; greening rate, public transportation infrastructure, railway facilities, living amenities, and tourist attractions exhibit moderate levels of spatial heterogeneity; external transportation facilities display greater spatial heterogeneity, exerting significant and distinctly varied effects on housing prices within local areas. (4) The age of housing, living amenities, and tourist attractions negatively influence housing prices negatively; education/medical, and business facilities positively influence housing prices; while other variables exhibit varying inhibitory or appreciative effects on housing prices across different spatial locations.…”
