This book delves into the spatial patterns and influencing mechanisms of urban vitality and human perception within the neighborhoods of China's high-density cities, with a specific focus on the Macau Peninsula. Based on a multi-source big data framework integrating Baidu heatmaps, POI, Weibo check-ins, street view imagery, and real estate prices, it quantitatively investigates the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics of block vitality and residents' visual perception. Employing a hybrid computational approach combining GIS spatial analysis, the RAGA-PPM evaluation model, and interpretable machine learning techniques, the book examines the correlation between the built environment and urban vitality, identifies key environmental elements influencing vitality and perception, and discerns the complex pathways through which the built environment affects them. The goal is to provide strategies for the scientific and rational optimization of the built environment in urban planning and design to foster sustainable urban vitality and enhance residents' quality of life.
