다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Although urbanization can promote social and economic development, it can also cause various problems. How to evaluate urbanization performance and development coordination is a key problem for decision makers to find problems caused by urbanization and enhance the efficiency of urbanization performance. This paper introduces a hybrid combined weight method–McKinsey Matrix for evaluating the sustainable of urbanization. The values of development index and coordination index are calculated by combined weight method. The GE matrix can assist in assessing sustainable urbanization performance by locating the urbanization state point. A case study of urbanization in Liaoning in China demonstrates the process of using the evaluation method. The result indicates that the development of urbanization in Liaoning is better. The values of the coordination index between economic, environments, social, public service and livelihood is enhancing conspicuously. The case study reveals that the method is an effective tool in helping policy makers understand the performance and formulate suitable strategies for guiding urbanization towards better sustainability.
