Abstract:
As a pivotal carrier for rural living environment governance, the optimization of rural recreational spaces holds significant implications for advancing rural revitalization. Taking the recreational spaces of the Daduzhai Cluster in Tubaigang Township, Kaifeng City, Henan Province as the research object, this study constructs a rural recreational space resident perception evaluation system based on landsenses ecology theory. The system comprises a criterion layer of physical and psychological cognition, a standard layer spanning seven dimensions (visual, tactile, auditory, olfactory, gustatory, psychological perception, and cultural perception), and 24 specific indicator factors. By combining Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) with entropy weight method and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method, the subjective perception of residents is systematically transformed into quantifiable indicators, thus scientifically evaluating the quality of recreational spaces. Findings reveal that the recreational spaces in Daduzhai Cluster exhibit moderate overall quality across all indicators. While distinctive features exist within the cluster, these spaces currently meet only basic recreational demands, demonstrating substantial potential for enhancement. Through critical analysis of spatial strengths and deficiencies, optimization strategies are proposed, including enhancing ecological connectivity, revitalizing indigenous cultural narratives, and fostering placebased tourism development. These recommendations aim to inform future rural recreational space planning with actionable insights for sustainable socio-ecological synergies.
