GIS-Based Study on the Suitability of Site Selection for Community Complexes in Old Residential Areas in Xi’an, China

As an important means to improve the construction of community services, community complexes can not only provide residents with “one-stop” services, but also promote the coordinated development of communities and cities while improving the efficiency of urban land use. In this paper, the distribution characteristics and influencing factors of the corresponding complex construction were sorted out by combing and investigating the problems of the old residential areas in Xi’an, China. GISmap10.2 software was used to obtain the data of social resource allocation, surrounding service facilities, and land use efficiency characteristics within the living circle. Combined with field research, the traditional communities were classified and discussed, so as to put forward strategies for the construction of community complexes with different types of community spaces.
