An appropriate evaluation method plays an important role in the Healthy City plan and helps to improve urban health. Due to a lack of uniform criteria of evaluation, it’s the first time to compare the feasibility and effectiveness of various methods in healthy city, including the comprehensive index method, rank-sum ratio method (RSR), entropy method, integrated RSR, and integrated entropy method. The comparison was conducted on Friedman chi-square test, Spearman correlation, consistency test, and one-way analysis of variance, with the level of 0.05 in two-sides for statistical significance. Due to a high consistency (92.90%) with the principal component analysis and actual circumstance, the comprehensive index method was compared as a reference. Compared with the comprehensive index method, the consistency rate of RSR, entropy, integrated RSR, and integrated entropy method was separately 78.60%, 57.10%, 71.40%, and 42.90%. The Kappa value of them was respectively 0.625 (P < 0.001), 0.250 (P = 0.080), 0.500 (P < 0.001), and 0.000 (P = 1.000). Accordingly, the comprehensive index method is perceived as an appropriate approach in healthy cities evaluation, based on normative Delphi studies and less datamissing. The objective and integrated method should be used according to the requirement.

适当的评估方法在健康城市规划中起着重要作用，并有助于改善城市健康。由于缺乏统一的评估标准，这是首次比较健康城市中各种方法的可行性和有效性。包括综合指标法，秩和比法（RSR），熵法，综合RSR和综合熵法。比较采用Friedman卡方检验，Spearman相关性，一致性检验和单向方差分析，两面的水平为0.05，具有统计学意义。由于与主成分分析和实际情况的一致性很高（92.90％），因此比较了综合指标法作为参考。与综合指标法相比，RSR，熵，综合RSR和综合熵的一致性率分别为78.60％，57.10％，71.40％和42.90％。它们的Kappa值分别为0.625（P  <0.001），0.250（P  = 0.080），0.500（P <0.001）和0.000（P  = 1.000）。因此，基于规范化的德尔菲研究和较少的数据丢失，综合指数法被认为是健康城市评估的一种适当方法。应根据要求采用客观综合的方法。
