An understanding of the evolution process of human habitats and their correlation with geographical elements, as well as an exploration of the evolution mechanism of habitats in arid zones, is essential for examining the interactions between habitat sustainability and the geographical environment comprehensively. The polycentric governance theory and synergy theory form the basis of this study, which proposes a polycentric synergistic development model and constructs an evaluation index system for the quality of the human habitat environment in Xinjiang in terms of social services and security, comprehensive economic level, ecological, livable environment and population and cultural environment. The TOPSIS model is utilised to assess the integrated valuation of the quality of the human environment, facilitating analysis of the spatial and temporal trends and spatial correlations of the quality of the human environment. The geodetector model is also employed to identify the influencing factors of the habitat environment. From the perspective of sustainable development, the interconnections and synergistic development processes within the habitat system were elucidated, as well as how the various elements interacted with each other in shaping the habitat system from multiple perspectives. Furthermore, the cumulative effects of the influencing factors on the human settlement environment in arid zones were further verified through the interaction of multiple factors. Furthermore, it verifies the cumulative effect of the influencing factors on the arid environment through the interaction of multiple factors. This study provides theoretical support and empirical evidence for the study of the global arid zone habitat environment, and provides a reference for decision-making on sustainable development paths in specific geographical conditions.
了解人类栖息地的演变过程及其与地理要素的相关性，探索干旱地区栖息地的演变机制，对于全面审视栖息地可持续性与地理环境之间的相互作用至关重要。多中心治理理论和协同理论构成了本研究的基础，本研究提出了多中心协同发展模式，并从社会服务与保障、综合经济水平、生态宜居环境以及人口文化环境等方面构建了新疆人居环境质量评价指标体系。运用TOPSIS模型对人居环境质量进行综合评价，便于分析人居环境质量的时空趋势和空间相关性。还采用地理探测器模型识别栖息地环境的影响因素。从可持续发展的角度，阐明了栖息地系统内部的相互联系和协同发展过程，以及各要素如何从多个角度相互作用以塑造栖息地系统。此外，通过多因素的相互作用进一步验证了影响因素对干旱地区人类聚居环境的累积效应。此外，通过多因素的相互作用验证了影响因素对干旱环境的累积效应。本研究为全球干旱地区栖息地环境研究提供了理论支持和实证依据，并为特定地理条件下可持续发展路径的决策提供了参考。
