Guangzhou's Quality of Life Index ranked first in the country

On the previous day, the Institute of Economics of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and the Capital University of Economics and Trade jointly issued the first "Report on China's Urban Quality of Life Index." According to surveys, Beijing is ranked eighth among 30 provincial capitals under the influence of “fast pace of life” and “environmental pressure”. It is far lower than Guangzhou and Shanghai, which are also mega-cities, but also in Hohhot and Shijiazhuang. After waiting for the city.

The pace of life in Beijing is fast

According to the person in charge of the research team of the report, the “Quality of Life Index” was weighted by a series of objective indicators and subjective indicators. The subjective index includes the satisfaction of income, living cost, medical security, living environment, life rhythm, and convenience of living; the objective index includes per capita wealth, inflation rate, green area, Engel coefficient, and so on.

From the survey results, among the 30 provincial capital cities, there were 15 cities with a score of 55 or more on the Quality of Life Index, which exceeded the average score of 54.49. The top three cities were Guangzhou, Shanghai and Nanjing, and Beijing ranked eighth. In terms of sub-regions, the objective index of quality of life in the eastern cities is higher than that in the west, but subjective satisfaction is lower than that in the west. This is considered to be one of the reasons for Beijing's lower overall score. Taking Yinchuan and Beijing as examples, Yinchuan’s overall quality of life index ranks first (4th place), which is related to its soothing pace of life (48.68 points, ranking first); and Beijing’s quality of life index is ranked lower than that of Beijing. The fast pace of life has a lot to do with (38.03 points, one after the row).

Subjective feelings account for 40% weight

In the same mega-city, Guangzhou and Shanghai are ranked high. Why is Beijing so low? The author of the report bluntly stated that Beijing’s environmental quality was significantly behind.

Respondents’ subjective feelings accounted for 40% of the weight, which will largely influence the overall results. For example, after the large-scale development of the western region, the quality of life of residents has improved rapidly, and residents' satisfaction has been high. In terms of "satisfaction with the cost of living," Shanghai and Beijing scored 20th and 25th, respectively. The subjective index ranked 28th and 29th, and the cost of living was relatively high.

expert's point

● Cheng Zheng Frame (Director of Institute of Sociology and Demographics, Provincial Academy of Social Sciences)

Living in Guangzhou is very convenient

"If we look at the material aspect, Guangzhou is the first place to have no problem. If we look at the social management aspect, we can see that it is a matter of opinion." said Zheng Yu-frame, director of the Institute of Sociology and Demography, Guangdong Provincial Academy of Social Sciences, living in Guangzhou, eating, drinking, etc. In all aspects, Guangzhou is indeed very convenient. For example, the habit of drinking morning tea in Guangzhou and the exquisiteness of Cantonese cuisine make people feel comfortable. In terms of social atmosphere, the favorable speech environment that Guangzhou has formed in history has made the government work hard to improve the lives of ordinary people.

Peng Yi (Researcher of Municipal Social Science Institute)

The first row of Guangzhou is due

“Before talking about happiness, the cities of Chengdu, Hangzhou, and Qingdao ranked first. This time, Guangzhou was ranked first. I really feel surprised.” Peng Xin, a researcher at the Guangzhou Academy of Social Sciences, said that after looking at the complete evaluation system, He thinks that Guangzhou is the first place it deserves.

He analyzed that after so many years of accumulation, Guangzhou citizens have greatly improved their lives, and Guangzhou citizens also enjoy life more, but also pay more attention to their own lives, and their expectations of politics are not high. In this respect, Guangzhou is better than other cities.

As far as the public can enjoy the services, Guangzhou's service industry is well known. As far as traffic jams are concerned, Guangzhou itself has a lot of congestion compared to the past, but compared with Beijing and Shanghai, Guangzhou is nothing at all.

Peng Yu believes that it is important that the current housing prices affect everyone's ratings. Guangzhou is one of the four first-tier cities in the country. However, the price is only at the level of second-tier cities. It is less than half of Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen, and the pressure on life is much smaller.

However, he also pointed out that there are still many areas for improvement in Guangzhou, “strengthening housing protection for low-income and middle-income people, and raising the level of social security for 2.3 million farmers.” Peng Peng also suggested that Guangzhou should speed up industrial restructuring, remove high-polluting factories as soon as possible, and improve the atmosphere and water environment in Guangzhou. “What's more difficult is the improvement of the soft environment, such as the civilized quality of the citizens, which is more than material improvement. Harder".

Citizen’s voice

● Ms. Zheng, the public: people should also work harder

“Guangzhou can be ranked first. Incredible.” The public servant Miss Zheng was very surprised to hear about this, but then she looked at the reference data, indicators, and compared the cities of Beijing and Shanghai. She felt that the first place was not surprising.

Miss Zheng analyzed that in terms of the rhythm of life, although traffic jams in Guangzhou, compared with Beijing and Shanghai, it is a matter of little confusion. In the urban environment, after the Asian Games, the urban environment improved greatly.

Ms. Cheng suggested that Guangzhou should also work harder in people’s livelihood. It should be more transparent in its administration in accordance with the law, so that citizens can have a sense of belonging.

● Ms. Qiu, the citizen: I was surprised that Guangzhou ranked first

“Not that I don’t feel happy, but our graduates. We all share the same feeling.” Ms. Qiu, a citizen, said that she does not understand cities like Shanghai and Beijing, but it should be about the same as Guangzhou. In comparison, I prefer small cities. I was surprised that Guangzhou ranked first."

"The quality of life should not be more than high-rise buildings and cars. It is more comfortable than living there." She said that she and her classmates have graduated more than four years. People who stay in Guangzhou are compared with those who return to their hometowns. The quality of life can't be compared with the same thing at the same time. "Compared with 30 capital cities, we can't be better than nobody, not good, only worse."

User point of view

Sina users: Guangzhou has a high wage level, but consumption is not particularly high. Guangzhou should be the same income level in big cities where housing prices are low (now the largest consumption of urban residents should be a house); opening does not mean eating, drinking, and more. What is important is the people’s speech and social atmosphere. You have the opportunity to understand the degree of openness in the Guangzhou media, and television stations and newspapers will never avoid shortcomings.

Hangzhou netizens zaj: What is the practical significance of this ranking? It's purely fussy!

Djn_1785: Cantonese people disdain when the happiness index is number one. It's really good that individuals are really good. Other Shenma rankings are clouds: Guangzhou has two things that are doing well. 1. Inclusive; 2. Openness of the media.
