With the acceleration of urbanization and the shortage of transportation resources in large cities, urban rail transit has gradually become the backbone of urban public transportation system. In order to improve the service level of urban rail transit, this paper studies the factors influencing the service level of subway station passages and the classification method based on the passenger-perception method. Through investigation and research, the passage service level evaluation indicators (width, walking time, per capita area, illumination intensity and guide signage) have been determined. Based on orthogonal experiment, 3ds max was used to set up 25 passage scenes with different parameters from passengers' perspective. A passenger satisfaction questionnaire was designed and distributed, the reliability and validity of the questionnaire were tested to ensure the validity of the data. And based on the factor analysis method, the factors affecting passenger perception are analyzed. A well-fitting model of the relationship between passenger scores and passage parameters is established, and the passenger scores are converted into service levels. Finally, a service level classification method is given, which can provide reference for the service level evaluation of existing stations and the design of physical attributes and environmental factors of new station passages.

The lack of consumer trust in green residences is an important reason why the green residential market is difficult to promote. According to the consumer theory and trust building model, structural equation model (SEM) of the factors affecting the trust of green residences is established. According to the questionnaire of 368 consumers in Xi’an, China, the reliability and validity of the original data are analyzed by SPSS data analysis software, and SEM model is processed by AMOS analysis software to obtain the key influencing factors of consumer trust in green residences. The results show that individual characteristics, green residential knowledge, green residential information, environmental responsibility awareness, perceived value, and institutional evaluation are important factors influencing consumer trust. Individual characteristics, environmental responsibility awareness, and institutional evaluation significantly positively affect consumer trust at the 1% level; green residential knowledge and green residential information significantly positively affect consumer trust at the 5% level; perceived value negatively affects consumer trust at the 1% level. The research results can provide an important reference for enhancing consumer trust and promoting the green residences.
