Abstract:Driven by rapid urbanization, human needs have increasingly become a key guideline forurban construction. This paper presents an evaluation model for assessing the quality of coastal public spaces in urban development areas, focusing on the built-up coastalpublic spaces in Haikou. The study employs the KANO model construction comprehensively, conducts a survey, and holds on-site interviews with to evaluate observed postresidents to identify different needs. The model employs classification, hybrid categories, and the Better-Worse index to assess the importance of each need, ranking them fromMust-be Quality, through One-Dimensional Quality, to Attractive Quality based ontheir significance. The results indicate that twelve indicators, including hydrophilicity, accessibility, richness of planting design, and green ratio, are concentrated in the categoriesof Must-be and One-Dimensional Quality. Based on this, in order to improve the landscape quality of coastal public space in the built-up area of Haikou City, enhancement strategiesare proposed for three elements of natural environment, built-up environment, and activitysubject according to the importance of needs.
