Research on the construction of carbon emission evaluation system of low-carbon-oriented urban planning scheme: taking the West New District of Jinan city as example

ABSTRACT Carbon emissions caused by human activities are closely linked to the process of urbanization, urban land use and traffic system are two important factors that may influence it. On the basis of clarifying the space structure of low-carbon eco-city, this paper constructing an evaluation system of urban carbon emission from four dimensions: construction land compact, traffic carbon emission potential, road network accessibility, and public transportation accessibility. Based on the evaluation system, the author took the West New District of Jinan city as an example, evaluated urban planning scheme by using several spatial models such as landscape pattern index, Spatial syntax, POI (Point of Interest) kernel density analysis, and OD (Origin Destination) matrix in support of GIS (Geographic Information System) and RS (Remote Sensing) techniques
