Abstract

This study assesses the configuration potential of embedded outdoor sports facilities in high-density urban areas in response to persistent challenges related to supply–demand imbalance, limited accessibility, and low spatial efficiency under stock-based urban renewal. Embedded sports facilities, characterized by multifunctional land use and efficient resource integration, offer a promising pathway to alleviate these pressures. This study proposes a multidimensional framework to assess configuration potential by integrating multi-source data, spatial analysis, and quantitative evaluation methods. The assessment system is structured around three core dimensions: supply–demand improvement, use convenience, and environmental suitability. The TOPSIS model is applied to evaluate the configuration potential of 1268 parcels at the micro-scale. Results reveal a spatial pattern characterized by clustered low-potential parcels in central areas and scattered high-potential parcels in peripheral zones. The results reveal that low-potential clusters notably coincide with areas characterized by concentrated educational land uses and complex natural topographic conditions. Notably, more than 40 percent of high-potential parcels are located within blue–green infrastructure spaces. These findings provide practical evidence to support precise sports facility planning and community-scale renewal strategies in high-density urban environments.
