Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present a new approach of city leisure index (CLI). We are comprehensive estimates of the recreational functions of cities and the development of a quantitative description of the city recreation system. It uses a combination of objective evaluation and subjective evaluation, the form of index to reflect the environment of a city’s leisure, leisure conditions, and leisure and economic development of standards and public awareness of urban leisure awareness. This integrated evaluation procedure is aimed at yielding appropriate and reasonable rank and value of leisure evaluation. We also give empirical examples to illustrate the techniques and how to evaluate the city leisure index. Result shows that fuzzy statistical analysis with soft computation is tending to be more realistic and reasonable in the city leisure index evaluation.
