Urban street comfort is a crucial measure of environmental quality. However, traditional evaluations primarily focus on physical elements, often neglecting pedestrian perceptions. In this study, considering five core evaluation dimensions—safety, mobility, aesthetics, perceptibility, and convenience—an innovative quantitative model proposed to assess pedestrian-perceived urban streets by integrating factors subjective experiences. This analysis comprises two steps: indicator extraction weight application. Indicators are extracted from multi-source data (street-view images, real-time traffic data, points interest, surveys) using deep learning method. A comprehensive weighting method combining entropy the analytic hierarchy process used determine relative importance each factor. study focuses Nanjing as case results reveal significant variations across dimensions their 11 secondary indicators. Street environment safety (0.143) critical for safety, while degree congestion (0.121) dominates mobility. aesthetics influenced building enclosure (0.105), convenience strongly affected number surrounding bus stops (0.260). Spatial indicates higher levels in centers due well-developed infrastructure, whereas peripheral areas face challenges inadequate facilities. Notably, around parks demonstrate elevated levels, highlighting green spaces. Overall, system provides new insights perspective experience offers valuable guidance planning policy.
