Abstract
Recently there are many problems of living environment with the densely built-up area and the urban sprawl in local cities in China which have achieved rapid economic development. The improvement of living environment is required in terms of the city planning in the future. In this paper, we investigated the present evaluation of living environment for the city planning area of LangFang in HeBei using the multicriteria evaluation within geographic information system. As a result, we grasped the unequal state of living environment in whole area. We found that the method of evaluation was a means of evaluating living environment variously and objectively according to objectives of the future planning, and it was useful for drafting the planning in local cities in China.
