Abstract

This study investigates the contribution of rural homestead withdrawal (WRH) policies to social sustainability in China. Using a hybrid multi-attribute decision analysis model, combining the Delphi method and fuzzy DEMATEL, the researchers evaluate WRH's impact across four dimensions: socio-ecological environment, social welfare, social equity, and social inclusion. The findings highlight key sub-dimensions crucial for achieving sustainable social development through WRH and offer policy recommendations.
