Abstract

In order to measure the success of smart growth of a city, we built a three- level index evaluation system, which includes 1 first-level index, 4 second-level indexes and 9 third-level indexes. The first-level index called Smart Growth Index, it contains 4 second-level indexes: Economic Factors, Social Factors, Environmental Factors, Transportation Factors. They have several third-level indexes respectively, these third-level indexes cover economy, society, environment, land use, culture and traffic. Then we used analytic hierarchy process to get the weights of second-level indexes and arithmetic mean method to get the weight of third-level indexes. After the data standardization and weighted sum, we can get the score of the Smart Growth Index, and we use this to measure the success of smart growth of a city. We chose Jiayuguan in China and Geneva in Switzerland as the required two cities. And we used the Smart Growth Index's rate-of-change, which called success index, to measure the success of smart growth plans.
