Vitality Evaluation and Enhancement Strategies of Wuzhou Historical and Cultural Districts Based on Semantic Differential Method

Historical and cultural districts are vital components of urban landscapes, preserving the city’s historical memories and cultural heritage while displaying its unique charm and cultural richness. However, the rapid growth of the tourism industry poses challenges such as functional homogeneity, inadequate infrastructure, and overcrowded public spaces. These issues can erode the original cultural atmosphere and reduce the districts’ appeal, ultimately diminishing their vitality. Using Wuzhou’s historical and cultural districts as a case study, this paper employs questionnaire surveys, the Semantic Differential (SD) Method, and factor analysis to assess the current vitality of these districts. Based on the findings, this study proposes strategies to enhance their vitality by integrating digital technologies, including artificial intelligence. These strategies aim to provide a theoretical foundation for revitalizing and enhancing the vitality of similar districts elsewhere.
