Abstract
- This paper presents the residents' perceptions on the urban resources environment (URE) in the context of China. Previous studies have suggested that the urban resources environment has been improving in recent years. However, it is unknown whether this improvement is perceived by the residents. The data for analysis in this paper are from a comprehensive questionnaire survey. The questionnaire was designed to understand the residents' satisfaction with water resources (W), energy resources (E), air environment (A), land resources (L), culture resources (C), human resources (H), transportation (T), infrastructures (I) and public service resources (P). The questionnaire was distributed to the residents in 35 large Chinese cities. In total, 4792 valid questionnaires were collected, which were analyzed by using statistical methods. The research results conclude that there are differences in the perceptions on URE by different groups of residents who are with different background characteristics. The residents have different levels of satisfaction with different types of urban resources. And different cities perform differently in satisfying their residents in managing URE. The findings of this study provide policymakers with important references for designating measures to improve URE. • The connotation of urban resources environment is expanded. • The data referring to URE is collected through a comprehensive questionnaire survey. • Different types of URE dimensions presents different level. And different cities perform differently in providing URE to local residents. • Urban managers in China should give priority to improving the levels of air environment, human resources, infrastructure, and public services resources.
