Abstract

City message boards and similar e-government platforms are playing an increasingly important role in urban governance. Taking urban everyday governance as the research object, this study classifies urban problems into four types, namely urban safety, diversity tolerance, living comfort, and ecological livability and proposes a method for spatial identification of urban governance problems based on Natural language processing (NLP) technology and Wuhan's city message board data. The findings show that: 1) Four types of governance problems including urban safety, diversity tolerance, living comfort, and ecological livability all have hot spots. 2) Cold spots of comfortable life problems and diversity tolerance problems are witnessed, mainly located in the core area of the old city. 3) In terms of social-interactive factors, there is a significant difference in the discursive power between children and the elderly. 4) In terms of geographic factors, the rise in population density does not necessarily lead to increasing urban governance problems, which provides evidence for the high-quality governance of high-density cities. 5) Owing to the trend of concurrently developing urban construction and urban quality, the effects of environmental factors on the spatial pattern of urban problems are more complicated than a simple linear relationship.
