Abstract
The livability of cities has been a major topic of concern in recent years. It aims to comprehensively evaluate the happiness index of urban residents from aspects such as economic development, social stability, and ecological environment. Therefore, to establish a livable city model with objective significance, the model’s indicator weights are obtained using principal component analysis, AHP, and entropy weight methods based on the indicator data of all prefecture-level cities in Sichuan Province.
