Demography-Oriented Urban Spatial Matching of Service Facilities: Case Study of Changchun, China
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
1. The spatial matching of population activities and service facilities is a very interesting topic. However, in urban planning, the allocation of service facilities is considered in terms of quantity, layout and timing. What is the difference between this study and this?
2. In the "Abstract" section, it is suggested to explain the main data and research methods.
3. In the "Introduction" section, the relevant literature on the influence of service facilities on urban layout and development trend is supplemented; In particular, related literature on the layout of service facilities in the context of smart cities. In addition, the interaction between population activities and service facilities, as well as the contradiction between urban planning standard allocation (1000 persons index).
4. In the part of "2.1 Study Area", it is better to have map of location and city status, so that readers can quickly understand the research area.
5. "2.2 Data"section, the specific source of data should be explained, and the overall representative of data samples should be considered. China currently has three basic telecom operators: China Telecom, China Mobile and China Unicom.
6. "3. Study results" section, supplementary analysis chart legend.
7. It is suggested to add a "discussion"section. Based on the existing research results and existing research literature, analyze, discuss and extrapolate 2-3 topics to put forward the basis for the research conclusion.
8. Research conclusions should be generalized and of general significance on the basis of case studies. Suggestions to deepen.
9. It is also suggested to supplement the research deficiencies and further research directions.
10. Check text and grammar.

Reviewer 3 Report
The topic of this paper is relevant to the journal. However, several aspects need more details and I would like to share with my specific comments and suggestions below:
1. The literature review focuses on the review of population activities, but the review of the evaluation methods of service facilities and the relationship with population activities is not sufficient.
2. Lines 180-184 has been explained in the introduction to the research area, so there is no need to explain it again. Lines 186-188 are also similar to the previous ones. What are the abbreviations of PS and CS?
3. From the title of the article, spatial matching of population activities and service facilities is the focus of the study, but the author only uses a few words to describe the relationship between the two, and most of them focus on the single phenomenon itself.
4. The significance of the policy should not be limited to Changchun itself, but its inspiration to other cities at home and abroad is worthy of readers' interest
