AHP Comparison Empirical Analysis of Regional Space Design by the City for the Preservation of Local Culture

With the advancement of urban modernization, many cities have gradually diminished the uniqueness and appeal of their local cultures during development.This study explores how urban public space design can effectively preserve and innovatively integrate local culture, providing designers and planners with scientific and systematic theoretical support and practical guidance.Using grounded theory, core categories of user needs for local cultural preservation and innovation were identified through semi-structured interviews.Subsequently, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was employed to construct a weighted model, enabling systematic hierarchical analysis and quantitative evaluation of these categories.The results indicate that a profound understanding of local culture, integrating traditional and modern design elements, and shared user experiences are the core categories that should be prioritized in design.Among these, the four most influential factors were architectural design, art forms, art installations, technology, and sustainability.These findings emphasize the importance of combining cultural significance with functional design and highlight users' demand for designs that balance cultural depth with modern practicality.Furthermore, the evaluation model proposed in this study is adaptable and versatile, making it applicable to urban environment designs across diverse cultural contexts.By integrating multiple perspectives, it offers flexible and efficient design strategies.This approach enhances the cultural richness and attractiveness of urban public spaces and provides innovative ideas and practical solutions for promoting global urban sustainability and cultural heritage preservation.
