A Study on the Supply–Demand Matching and Spatial Value Effects of Community Public Service Facilities: A Case Study of Wuchang District, Wuhan
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: In the context of low-growth urban development, the interaction between the supply–demand structure of community public service facilities and the housing market has increasingly become a key research concern. Yet, systematic investigations into how supply–demand dynamics influence market value remain limited. To fill this gap, this study takes Wuchang District of Wuhan as the empirical case and establishes an integrated framework of “supply–demand evaluation—value effects” to assess both the equity of facility allocation and its capitalization effects. The results indicate that: (1) all categories of public service facilities in Wuchang District have Gini coefficients above 0.6, indicating substantial imbalance. Among them, elderly care, infant care, and child recreation facilities exceed 0.7, reflecting particularly severe inequality. (2) The “accessibility–housing price” quadrant model further reveals typical mismatch patterns, with “low accessibility–high price” and “high accessibility–low price” zones together accounting for 45.08%, suggesting that mismatches are widespread in the study area. (3) MGWR results show that different facility types exert differentiated effects across locations, with some even displaying opposite positive and negative effects, underscoring significant spatial heterogeneity. Overall, this study uncovers the intrinsic links between facility supply–demand structures and market value, clarifies the differentiated roles of facility types in shaping spatial value, and provides empirical evidence to support improvements in urban public service systems.
