Abstract

Prefabrication as a sustainable construction method has become a trend for use in house construction. However, the construction of rural houses in China still mainly adopts on-site construction, which also raises wasteful resources and environmental problems. Previous studies lack an evaluation system for the implementation potential of prefabricated rural housing in counties, and thus cannot provide references for the government to formulate implementation strategies. This study uses PEST analysis to establish an evaluation index system for the implementation potential of prefabricated rural housing and then evaluates 32 counties in Chongqing with urbanization rates below 90% based on the entropy weighted TOPSIS model. The results show that the weight values of the four evaluation subsystems of political, economic, social, and technological are 0.4516, 0.3152, 0.0684, and 0.1648, respectively; the nearness degrees of Dianjiang, Yubei, Jiangjin, and Rongchang are 0.5475, 0.4439, 0.4312, and 0.4103, respectively, ranking in the top four in Chongqing. The results indicate that the potential of implementing prefabricated rural housing in Chongqing is closely related to policy orientation and construction industrialization; Dianjiang, Yubei, Jiangjin, and Rongchang have the relative advantage of implementing prefabricated rural housing. Finally, this paper proposes political, economic, social, and technological suggestions for the implementation of prefabricated rural housing in Chongqing.
