The dynamic evolution and obstacle identification of pseudo and reality human settlements in the central plains urban agglomeration of China by Yadan Wang, Shenzhen Tian, Hang Li, Xueming Li, Jun Yang, Wenmei Wu

“…The results show that: (1) Temporal development exhibited phased growth with disparities across dimensions. (2) Spatial patterns exhibited core-driven development, followed by “十”-shaped development and comprehensive “米”-shaped development. (3) The coupling coordination is on a growing trend, and the laddering development is clearly characterized. (4) Natural population growth rate and urbanization rate, etc. are the main obstacle factors of the reality human settlements; Taobao and Baidu maps, etc. are the main obstacle factors of the pseudo human settlements.…”
