The Hidden Characteristics of Land-Use Mix Indices: An Overview and Validity Analysis Based on the Land Use in Melbourne, Australia

The land-use mix index is a way to quantify the mixture of patterns. Due practical limitations, few studies have highlighted validity indices. This paper aims explore potential characteristics indices using three-step screening method. data precision was concluded after first-step screening. A total 10 virtual blocks and 217 in Melbourne city center served as case study reflected various structures. randomized controlled comparative trial incorporated into second- third-screening indicate applicable condition validity. results illustrate that value Herfindahl–Hirschman related diversity types. also confirmed Dissimilarity index-I significantly associated with balance status mix. Entropy reflects evenness but did not correlate or In addition, provides set general recommendations for application conditions
