Abstract

The new urbanization construction contributes to promote the rapid economic development of Shaanxi. But the development needs sustainable construction as the basis which unifies and coordinates the economy, society, population, resources and environment. Based on what has mentioned above, this paper begins with carrying capacity to identify “Short Board” factors which constraints urbanization of Shaanxi, then we adopt the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process, classify and evaluate the level of new urbanization about ten cities of Shaanxi from the perspective of sustainable development. We concluded that, if sustainable urbanization can be carried out, we need to overcome the “Short Board” factors. Besides, the regional construction should have different focuses. In Northern Shaanxi, we should strengthen social security and regulate housing allocation. In Central Shaanxi, we should adjust the industrial structure, focus on the resources and environments, and strengthen the environmental protection and construction of low-carbon buildings. In Southern Shaanxi, we should vigorously develop eco-tourism.
