Approach
Applied machine learning methods — Entropy Weight and K-Means clustering — to evaluate different development plans for a 5-square-kilometer land area. The model considered three key dimensions:
- Environmental impacts — ecological footprint and sustainability metrics
- Economic profits — projected returns and cost-benefit analysis
- Community utilities — social infrastructure and quality of life factors
The optimization framework balanced these competing objectives to find the most effective land development strategy.
