Application of Delphi-Entropy Weight-TOPSIS Model in the Assessment of Safe Urban Development

Abstract

Urban safety development is one of the guarantees for the overall development of the city, and the study uses Delphi method, entropy weight method and TOPSIS method in the assessment of urban safety development. An improved Delphi-entropy weight-TOPSIS combination assessment model is constructed to evaluate the urban safety development. The evaluation index system of urban safety development is constructed, and the evaluation indexes of urban safety development are calculated by Delphi method and entropy weight method respectively, and the subjective and objective weights of the evaluation indexes of urban safety development are derived, and finally, the comprehensive weights are calculated by the method of combined weight assignment. The comprehensive weights of the guideline layer of the urban safety development evaluation index system are 0.1874, 0.2080, 0.2005, 0.2187, and 0.1854, respectively.The evaluation index system is used for empirical research, and City A is taken as the object of the research to assess its urban safety development status during the 10-year period from 2014 to 2023. From the evaluation results, it is known that the overall urban safety development of City A during the 10-year period shows an upward trend, with slight fluctuations in the process, but the overall development is good, and the evaluation score of urban safety development improves from 0.4657 points in 2014 to 0.6479 points in 2023.
