Applying “Node-Place-Value (NPV)” Model on the Renewal of Suburban Areas Along Rail Transit Lines

As an important support for the development of urban-rural tourism interaction, the villages along the rail transit lines are gradually linking with the tourism core areas of cities. In order to further explore the mechanism of rail transit construction in enhancing the efficiency of the villages, the Node-Place model is integrated into the rural development characteristics, introducing cultural tourism values as the third dimension, and proposing the Node- Place-Value model to evaluate the accessibility of the villages and their coupling degree with land, industry, and other factors from a three-dimensional quantitative perspective. Taking Liuliqu Village, Beijing, as a study case, the evaluation indicators and weighting results are calculated to analyze the status of the station. It is found that Liuliqu Village station area is in a status of “imbalance” so that based on the analysis of the model results. Strategies to improve the quality of public space of Liuliqu are proposed from the dimensions of node, place, and cultural tourism values. Additionally, this article indicates that railway construction has a significant impact on the renewal of traditional villages, enhancing the functional capacity of rural station areas. Improvements are urgently needed in terms of transportation infrastructure and the development of cultural tourism value.
