Notes
- 1.
The Dongcheng District of Beijing is currently merged with the original Chongwen District; Xicheng District is merged with the original Xicheng District, known as Xuanwu District. For the convenience of a clear statement of the investigative situation of this research, considering that the original Xuanwu District is a concentrated area of Beijing’s ancient urban historical relics, the administrative division still uses the original names of Dongcheng, Xicheng, Chongwen and Xuanwu.

The value of KMO measurement used to compare the relative sizes of simple correlation coefficient and partial correlation coefficient among the observational variables ranges from 0 to 1. Generally, the nearer it is to 1, the more suitable it is for observational variables to be conducted the factor analysis.

Bartlett’s test is a type of statistical test performing by taking the correlation coefficient matrix of variables as the starting point. If the statistical magnitude is greater, and the corresponding concomitant probability value is less than the significant level set by users, it could be decided that the correlation coefficient matrix is possibly not a unit matrix, so it is suitable to conduct factor analysis; otherwise, it is not.
