Urban living streets are core venues for promoting public health; however, existing studies often lack a multidimensional quantitative evaluation system that integrates physical, psychological, and social health dimensions. To address this gap, this study constructs a space quality evaluation model comprising 15 indicators across three health dimensions, integrating multi-source data (including Street View Imagery, POI data, and field measurements). Taking six typical living streets in the central urban area of Changsha as a case study, we applied the Analytic Hierarchy Process to determine indicator weights and evaluate space quality. The results reveal significant spatial heterogeneity: (1) The comprehensive quality scores vary markedly, with Cai’e South Road ranking highest (66.62) and Zengjiawan Lane lowest (28.37); (2) key factor analysis indicates that seven indicators—including Street Width, Motorization Level, and POI Functional Diversity—are significantly associated with space quality, among which Sidewalk Width and Relative Sidewalk Width are identified as critical determinants; (3) addressing identified deficits in slow-traffic spaces and service amenities, this study proposes health-oriented micro-renewal strategies. This study provides a transferable analytical framework and practical decision support for the assessment and improvement of urban living street space quality.
