主　　题：suitability of human settlements suitability degree mid-southern Liaoning urban agglomerations 

摘      要：Human settlement is a necessary factor for human survival and *** scientific assessments of the natural suitability and appropriateness of human settlements contribute to addressing the discord between ecological environments and economic development and fostering sustainable development in the relationship between humans and *** upon established methods for assessing human settlement suitability,this study investigated the natural suitability of the living environment in the urban agglomeration of mid-southern *** on this exploration,the suitability of the degree of human settlements for the population distribution in the study area from 2000 to 2020 was *** results revealed three important points.(1)Nearly one-fifth of the study area,the area around the offshoot of Changbai Mountain,is a critically suitable *** than half of this area,generally the buffer zone connecting the Liaohe Plain and the offshoot of Changbai Mountain,is generally suitable for human *** proportion of suitable areas is only 25.53%,mostly on the Liaohe Plain along the Liaodong Peninsula by the Yellow Sea.(2)The overall spatial distribution of human settlement exhibits a pattern that is moderate-low in the middle and high on both sides;and higher in the southern part and lower in the northern part.(3)The human settlement suitability degree is higher in the western regions and lower in the eastern regions,with Shenyang and Panjin in the west having the highest suitability,while Benxi in the east exhibits the lowest habitat *** 2000 to 2020,except for Shenyang and Panjin where suitability remained constant,the suitability degree of other cities has *** them,Dandong experienced the most significant increase in suitability.
