1 Introduction

Matching supply and demand (SAD) directly affects thesuccess of online trading However regarding rentalhousing efficiency in matching SAD is not high [1] manycountries around the world have rental housing marketscharacterized by mismatches in SAD [2] In terms of rentalexpenses the USrsquo traditional housing market for exampleoffers properties with higher rental prices than residents canafford [3] Other examples are Germany where rentedhomes do not match regional SAD [4] and Nigeria wherethe speed and scale of housing supply are smaller than thedemand causing inefficiency in the countryrsquos ability to meetthe housing needs of low-income earners [5] Similarly inChina the rental housing SAD structure is incongruent[6 7] is shows that traditional rental housing supplystructures are incapable of matching personalized demandsand the mismatch between the quality and quantity of ORH

leads to this discrepancy between the rental housing mar-ketrsquos SAD which seriously hinders the efficiency of rentalhousing service platforms erefore not only can thecreation of an effective matching method for online rentalhousing platforms solve the operational inefficiency of therental housing market but can also promote the rapid de-velopment of the rental market

To promote the effective matching of rental housingonline some scholars have made various attempts to studythe SAD matching of ORH So far the matching model ofORH is mainly a balanced search model whose purpose is toreduce search costs [8 9] ere are a few models to measurethe quality of supply and demand matching based on thesimilarities between SAD [10] ere are also models toestablish a double-sided matching theory to solve theproblem of public rental housing [11] At the same timesome scholars pointed out that SAD patterns considervarious housing attributes in the house matching selection

process [12 13] and that these attributes affect ORH SADmatching [14] For example price floors play a central rolebetween SAD [15] while issues around house matching andcomfort transportation the surrounding environment andlandlord services are specific indicators of tenant concerns[16] Location is also a factor of housing mismatch [2] esize and location of a house are considered to be necessaryconditions for appropriate house matching [14] ereforehousing attributes play a very important role in balancingthe SAD of ORH

Although the aforementioned models proposed by ex-tant studies can reduce the cost of searching in the matchingprocessmdashconsidering that housing multiattribute indicatorsare factors in the SAD matching processmdashthey do notpromote the effective matching of ORH or the improvementof matching satisfaction between the SAD sides In factwhen a matching decision occurs in the actual process mostsubjects are in limited rationality [17] their expected valuesare limited by existing information and their own expec-tations [18 19] us the final matching pair may have ahigher or lower value than the expected value leading tobelow-optimal satisfaction with the matching results Inaddition perceived utility is a product of a demandersrsquoassessment of the services values and functions of the re-quired items compared to their own expectations how theyweigh the perceived benefits and costs and the value theyfinally put on the required items [20] In assessing profit andloss values the theory of disappointment reflects the samedifference between actual and expected results [21] Loomesand Sugden also believed that ldquodisappointmentrdquo and ldquoex-citementrdquo are key factors in making rational choices [22]erefore using disappointment theory to quantify theperceived utility of both SAD can reflect the psychologicalactivities of both sides

In recent years with the acceleration of urbanization thehousing problem of Chinarsquos floating population has becomeincreasingly prominent In 2018 the floating populationreached 241 million of which 210 million required rentalhousing covering an area of 673 billion square meters Inaddition large and medium-sized cities in China are re-quired to build a rental housing platform to promote thematching efficiency of rental housing However the housingrental market is undeveloped and has many problems suchas low supply efficiency lack of diverse supply systems andlow capability to meeting peoplersquos housing demand [6 23]Among them is Shanghai the central city of China with arelatively large annual flow of floating population and a greatdemand for rental housing erefore taking Shanghai asour case study may help understand and reflect the problemsof other cities is is of great significance for promoting thedevelopment of the rental housing market

In online rental housing transactions the real estatenetwork platform involved is a two-sided market thatconnects the SAD sides of rental housing through whichvarious agents interact with one another and the transac-tions cater to the needs of all the users (both SAD)erefore this study attempts to apply the two-sidedmatching theory to the housing rental market To improvethe satisfaction of both SAD sides this study uses

disappointment theory to construct quantitative perceivedutility value matrices First we start by quantifying the utilityof housing as perceived by both SAD sides based on themultiattribute matching characteristics of both sides Sec-ond we construct a multiattribute SAD matching decisionmodel for ORH platforms Finally we adopt online SADinformation from Shanghai China to ensure that themultiattribute information of rental housing has beenidentified and to empirically test the validity and rationalityof the model safeguarding the construction of an innovativemethod for ORH SAD matching

e contributions of this study are twofold First thestudy constructs an effective SADmatchingmodel for onlinerental housing platforms and enriches the application of thetwo-sided matching theory Currently research on two-sided matching is mostly applied in the marriage marketlabor market schools and hospitals but is rarely used in therental housing market especially for application in onlinerental housing service platforms erefore this study un-dertakes to verify the applicability and effectiveness of thetwo-sided matching theory in the rental housing marketis provides a reference and a theoretical method forcracking the SADmatching problem that has plagued onlinerental housing platforms with multisubject and multilevelsupply methods Second the attributes of ORH are deter-mined and measured ese can be easily extended to othercities and online platforms providing reference to thefeasibility of analyzing multiattribute decision-makingmatching problems is also helps to improve the overallsatisfaction and quality of SAD matching efforts by con-sidering the expectations and real values of both SAD sidesIn sum this study is valuable for improving the efficiency ofSAD matching for online platforms as well as the sus-tainable development of the rental housing market

e remainder of this article is arranged as followsSection 2 presents a detailed literature review Section 3introduces the research materials and methods e em-pirical results and discussion are presented in Section 4Finally Section 5 summarizes the conclusions and impli-cations of this study

2 Literature Review

21 Disappointment (eory e disappointment theoryproposed by Bell [21] and Loomes and Sugden [22] is basedon psychological reactions caused by the comparison ofactual results with expectations [24] Fundamentally thedisappointment theory suggests that when actual results arebetter than expected policymakers will be ecstatic whenactual results are worse than expected manufacturers will bedisappointed and that the greater the disparity between theoutcome and the expectation the greater the disappoint-ment [21] So far there are three main contemporary dis-appointment models [25 26] e first is the BellndashLoomesand Sugden disappointment model is model essentiallyquantifies the ldquomodified expected utilityrdquo of human satis-faction in the case of disappointment e second is Gulrsquosdisappointment aversion (DA)model which decomposes theparticipantsrsquo psychological cognition into disappointment

and elation parts with respect to a new certainty equivalente third and the last model is Cillo and Delquiersquos disap-pointment without prior expectationmodel is model doesnot assume that the decision maker sets a single referencepoint of comparison prior to a certain experience Takingthis theory into account and the idea that actual utility is acombination of subjective utility functions and disap-pointment and exhilaration functions [21] this paper usesthe disappointment theory to calculate the perceived utilityvalues of both SAD sides

In recent years many scholars have quantified the sat-isfaction of matching objects based on the disappointmenttheory For example Quan et alrsquos study explored customerpsychological satisfaction based on customer disappoint-ment and pleasure behaviors and their method promotesretailer pricing and inventory decisions [27] Similarly Maet al established a SAD matching model for the electricityretail industry by considering the disappointment of sen-sitive customers and new electricity retail companies byconsidering the pleasant psychological perception andobtaining the perceived utility of both partiesis method isverified to be beneficial for themanagement of a high-qualityelectricity market Zhang et al built a matching optimizationmodel that maximizes satisfaction by calculating the dis-appointment and excitement associated with both SAD sidesbased on the disappointment theory [28] Zhao et al pro-posed a two-sided matching model to elaborate the pref-erence order of SAD by considering the participantsrsquopsychological perception Using the functions of disap-pointment and cheerfulness this model effectively improvesthe carpool matching problem [26] Another example is thatby Fan et al who proposed a two-waymatchingmethod thatconsiders the psychological behavior of the agents of bothparties and constructed a two-objective optimization modelto obtain satisfactory matching results [29] ese modelsmaximize the satisfaction of both SAD sides and by con-sidering the degree of their disappointment and elationthese models effectively reflect the perception activities ofboth sides which is conducive to promoting the improve-ment of the satisfaction of SAD

22 Two-Sided Matching e two-sided matching theoryoriginated from a study on marriage matching that focusedon satisfying both parties with matching results according tothe requirements of SAD sides [30] Gale and Shapley fromwhich Shapley became the 2012 Nobel laureate in eco-nomics first proposed the G-S algorithm for stable matchingbased on the strong preference information given by bothmen and women [31] Later Roth another Nobel laureate ineconomics applied the G-S algorithm to the hospital in-ternship market [30] Since then the two-sided matchingtheory has been developed and widely used in various fieldssuch as staff and job matching data trading marketmatching commodity trading issues and college admissionissues At the same time some scholars have proposed avariety of matching methods including the deferred algo-rithm [32] evolutionary algorithm [33 34] and multi-attribute preference decision-making methods [35]

Nonetheless the two-sided matching theory has proved tohave a wide range of practical applications

With the popularity of the Internet some scholars havebegun to talk about the application of the two-sidedmatching theory to the SAD matching problems of manyonline transactions For the second-hand housing markettaking the online rental-sale matching problem as an ex-ample Wang et al established a two-sided matching de-cision method based on heterogeneous information andassociation the feasibility of which was verified [36] In theelectronic market environment Gao et al provided a stablemultilateral automated negotiation system model andshowed that this model can promote effective matchingbetween the SAD sides For the power purchase market[37] Kong et al proposed a SAD matching model forpower retailers and buyers of cellular networks based on thetwo-sided matching theory which solves the energymanagement problem of microgrid-connected cellularnetworks for the small- and medium-sized market of thesharing economy [38] Xia et al constructed a two-sidedmatching model that promotes the maximization of theinterests of buyers sellers and agents and improves thematching efficiency thereof For the hospitalrsquos expert-outpatient matching appointment system [39] Yang et alconstructed a matching model based on the two-sidedmatching theory that improves the effectiveness of medicaltreatment [40] ese models built by scholars based on thetwo-sided theory have solved the problem of matching SADin different fields

Similarly in the existing literature the two-sidedmatching theory has been widely applied to online tradingplatforms and has improved thematching efficiency betweenSAD Nevertheless its application in ORH transactions islimited In addition existing two-sided matching decision-making methods rarely consider the psychological percep-tion of disappointment or elation when the subjective desiresof both parties match and when the psychological percep-tions are closely related to the satisfaction of both parties inthe final matching schemee satisfaction of the two partiesneeds to effectively characterize the psychological perceptionof both parties Moreover in the process of matching ORHSAD both sides will consider the multiattribute informationof housing [12] but there are very few studies covering themultiattribute two-sided matching model erefore thispaper proposes a multiattribute supply-demand matchingmethod for online rental listings based on the perceivedutility

On online house rental platforms tenants and landlordscan be regarded as two unconnected sets Each set willevaluate the actual value of the property according to its ownpsychological expectations e main goal of a matchingmethod in this case is to promote effective matching betweenSAD based on the tenantsrsquo and landlordsrsquo mental perceptionerefore this study aims to apply the two-sided matchingtheory to the SAD matching problem of online rentalhousing services to accurately characterize the SAD per-ceptions of both sides and to quantify the perceived utilitiesof both SAD based on the disappointment theory to promotesatisfaction over the matching results

otherwise losses occur e above benefits and losses arequantified as follows

If Dl [dijl]mtimesn is the profit and loss matrix of tenant Ti

under attribute Cl then dijl is the profit or loss of landlord Lj

under attribute Cl Considering that tenant Ti will putforward different requirements according to their own ex-pectations dijl is calculated as follows

When attribute Cl is rent in order to ensure the fairnessof online transactions the transaction rent is set to themiddle value of the tenantsrsquo expected rent and the landlordsrsquoLj expected rent and the calculation equation of thetransaction rents pij and dijl are as follows

When attribute Cl is rent dijl is calculated by the fol-lowing three cases [41]

Case 1 when eil rjl the tenantrsquos Ti performance tolandlord Lj is neither a gain nor a lossCase 2 when eil ltpij lt rjl the tenantrsquos Ti performanceto landlord Lj is a loss e loss would be 1 minus (pijeil)Case 3 when eil gt rjl the tenantrsquos Ti performance tolandlord Lj is gain e gain is 1

When attribute Cl is not rent there are three forms ofrequirements Wang et al gave everyonersquos gains and lossesbased on expectations and the equation is as follows [42]

(1) When tenant Ti has a hard requirement of attributeCl hard constraints refer to covenants that must besatisfied by bundle conditions When the value of eil

(2) When tenant Ti has a benefit requirement of attri-bute Cl the larger the attribute value of the benefit-type attribute the better dijl is calculated by thefollowing three cases

Case 1 when eil rjl the tenantrsquos Ti performanceto landlord Lj is neither a gain nor a loss underattribute Cl

Case 2 when eil lt rjl the tenantrsquos Ti performance tolandlord Lj is a gain under attribute Cl e gain isrjl minus eilCase 3 when eil gt rjl the tenantrsquos Ti performance tolandlord Lj is a loss under attribute Cl e loss isrjl minus eil

erefore when attribute Cl is a benefit requirementthe equation for calculating dijl is as follows

(3) When tenant Ti has a cost-type requirement of at-tribute Cl the lower the value of the cost attributethe better dijl is calculated by the following threecases

323 Construction of Supply-Demand Matching ModelBased on the Perceived Utility Set xij represents a 0-1variable where xij 0 represents that tenant Ti and land-lord Lj do not match while xij 1 represents that tenant Ti

and landlord Lj match According to the comprehensiveperceived utility matrices V and Vprime under the requirementof stable matching the following two-objective optimizationmodel can be established to maximize the comprehensiveperceived utility of suppliers and demanders

Equations (15a) and (15b) are the objective functionsrespectively maximizing the sums of the perceived utilitiesof suppliers and demanders in the final matching resultEquations (15c) and (15d) are the requirements of two-sided matching Equation (15c) is an inequality require-ment because mle n which means that each tenant Ti canmatch at most one landlord Lj Equation (15d) is anequality constraint meaning that each landlord Lj can onlymatch one tenant Ti while equation (15e) is a hardrequirement

In order to realize the multiobjective optimizationmodel and maximize the overall matching degree betweensuppliers and demanders the linear weighting method canbe used to weigh equations (15a) and (15b) w1 and w2 arethe weights of Z1 and Z2 respectively to satisfy0lew1 w2 le 1 and w1 + w2 1 Considering the fairness ofthe suppliers and demanders this paper provides thatw1 w2 05 and the two-objective model (15a)ndash(15f ) canbe transformed into a single-objective optimization model(16a)ndash(16e)

324 Solution Procedure According to the above analysisthe proposed methodrsquos solution procedure for the multi-attribute ORH SADmatching decisionmodel is summarizedas follows

Step 1 collection selection and measurement ofShanghairsquos housing property SAD information from itsonline rental platforms using a web crawlerStep 2 calculation of the profit and loss matrices ofSAD based on equations (1)ndash(7)Step 3 calculation of the normative profit and lossmatrices of SAD based on equations (8) and (9)Step 4 calculation of the perceived utility matrix ofSAD based on equations (11) and (12)Step 5 calculation of the comprehensive perceivedutility matrix of SAD based on equations (13) and (14)followed by the conversion of the multiobjective op-timization model to a single-objective optimizationmodel based on the comprehensive perceived utilitymatrix in equations (15a)ndash(15f) and (16a)ndash(16e)Step 6 solving the optimization model in equations(16a)ndash(16e) to obtain the optimal matching pairs ofonline rental platformsrsquo SAD sides using a geneticalgorithm

33 Data and Measurements is section includes threesections First we introduce the background of the Shanghairental housing market and explain why it is suitable fortesting our study Second we introduce the data set which isfrom Shanghairsquos current online rental platforms ird weintroduce the selection and measurement of multiattributeindicators

331 Background of Shanghairsquos Rental Housing MarketShanghai is one of Chinarsquos four municipalities It is locatedin the east of China at the mouth of the Yangtze River and isthe leading city in the Yangtze River Economic Belt In 2017Shanghai was organized by 16 districts and counties asshown in Figure 3 including Huangpu Xuhui ChangningJingan Hongkou Yangpu Minhang Baoshang Jiading andPudong By the end of 2018 the total population of Shanghaihad reached 2424 million of which 976 million was thefloating population ranking the highest in the country

Since 1980 Chinarsquos housing market has been dominatedby sales while the rental market developed slowly Howeverwith the acceleration of Chinarsquos urbanization processmdashapowerful means of regulating urban real estate retaining theworking population and attracting new talentsmdashthe rental

housing market has become an important part of deepeningthe reform of the housing system and an important way toachieve the goal of improving urban residentsrsquo quality of lifeShanghai as Chinarsquos largest economic center city attracts alarge floating population Since 2011 Shanghairsquos permanentmigrant population has remained above 96 million per yearwhich accounts for more than 40 of the total residentpopulation as shown in Figure 4 is huge population sizehas resulted in an increase in living demands erefore thedevelopment of Shanghairsquos rental housing market requiresurgent attention

In July 2017 Chinarsquos Ministry of Housing and Con-struction and nine other departments jointly issued theldquoNotice on Accelerating the Development of Housing RentalMarket in Large- and Medium-sized Cities with Net Pop-ulation Inflowrdquo requiring large- andmedium-sized cities witha net inflow of population to set up government-backed rentalhousing service platforms erefore Shanghai now has apublic house leasing service platform In addition to thisShanghai has many private online leasing platforms in-cluding Lianjiacom Anjuke and Fangtianxia Many peopleuse these platforms to find listings Online platforms candisplay a variety of information about the listed propertysuch as the number of rooms the size of the property thedegree of decoration and the housing facilitiese platformsalso include some rent-seeking information which helpsmatch the SAD sideserefore Shanghai is a suitable samplefor testing the model constructed in this study

332 Data Collection Using the Python web crawlertechnology on May 13th 2019 we performed a crawlingexercise on 21762 articles from the current mainstreamonline rental platforms like Shanghairsquos housing leasingpublic service platform Anjuke Lianjia and Fangcom Atthe same time we collected 1739 and 929 rent-seekingmessages from 58com and Weibo respectively and ob-tained 1226 effective massages after manually deletingunrelated data e keywords used for detecting unrelateddata included ldquoI am an ownerrdquo ldquoI am an intermediaryrdquoldquocommercialrdquo ldquoshoprdquo ldquorent outrdquo ldquoofficerdquo and ldquoofficebuildingsrdquo e origins of the final data are spread across 15of Shanghairsquos 16 districts e workflow used to crawl rent-seeking information on 58com is shown in Figure 5According to the crawled rent-seeking information shown inTable 2 there is a high degree of similarity between thehousing attribute indicators considered by the potentialtenants e frequencies of the feature words related tohousing area decoration rental price appliances trans-portation and so on are relatively high Given thatShanghairsquos floating population has a relatively high demandfor rental housing and that the consideration factors arerelatively complete in the transaction it appears that thecollected rent-seeking information is adequately represen-tative with a strong reference for other cities as well

333 Selection and Measurements of MultiattributeIndicators Word frequency can reflect the importance of aword in different contexts or expressions e higher the

Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society 9

word frequency the more important it is With the afore-mentioned Python crawled rent-seeking messages from theldquoPersonalized needsrdquo page of 58com and the commentsfrom Weiborsquos ldquoShanghai Rent-seekingrdquo page this paperemploys a word cloud to display the top 50 words related toproperty characteristics (shown in Figure 6) e top three

words are ldquonearrdquo ldquorentrdquo and ldquodecorationrdquo followed byldquosubwayrdquo ldquofurniturerdquo ldquohome appliancesrdquo and ldquosingle roomrdquoe search term ldquoNearrdquo reflects the requirements of thehousing location while ldquoSubwayrdquo indicates a requirement forproximity to public transportatione characteristic value ofldquorentrdquo reflects the demand for renting a house ldquoRoomrdquo

Although a word frequency analysis can reflect thepersonalized needs of the tenant by extracting high-fre-quency words it cannot reflect the connections between

those words However a semantic network analysis canvisually display the relationship between elements by con-structing a semantic relationship network map [49]erefore for this study we performed a text analysis of thecrawled information using ROSTCM6 software First thecrawled rent-seeking information was processed throughword segmentation Second the high-frequency words wereextracted and the meaningless words were filtered then theline feature words were extracted to generate VNA files andwe then imported them into NetDraw software to constructa co-occurrence matrix Finally the semantic relationshipnetwork map (shown in Figure 7) of the rent-seeking in-formation was generated As seen in Figure 7 ldquonearrdquo ldquorentrdquoldquodecorationrdquo ldquoappliancesrdquo and ldquosubwayrdquo are the centralnodes of the entire network reflecting the similarity of dif-ferent tenants in selecting online rental houses Compre-hensively tenants conduct a systematic investigation ofoverall quality when searching rental houses On the onehand in terms of location and proximity to transportationtenants share similar requirements reflected by the ldquosubwayrdquoldquotrafficrdquo and ldquonearrdquo nodes On the other hand in terms of theoverall quality of the houses tenants require properties withfacilities as reflected by the ldquoappliancesrdquo ldquofurniturerdquo andldquokitchenrdquo nodes In fact these characteristic words reflect thereal needs of tenants when choosing a rental house onlineHowever both SAD sides of ORH include institutions andorindividuals thus the transaction takes place between unfa-miliar entities In such a case the authenticity of housing andthe construction of the social credit system are significant forthe smooth operation of platforms [50] erefore this studyanalyzed the word cloud maps and semantic network mapsand finally selected seven attributes district traffic conve-nience rent living room house supporting facilities deco-ration and online ratings ese seven indicators of thecrawled listing and rent-seeking information were thenquantified separately as shown in Table 3

Step 6 the optimization model in equation (18) wassolved using a genetic algorithme derived matchingresults are shown in Table 20

As shown in Table 20 all tenants and landlords formedmatching pairs is not only shows matching results thatare satisfactory to both sidesmdashwith an overall satisfactionvalue of the matching results of Z 42374mdashbut also showsan improvement in matching efficiency at is the methodreduces matching costs and time for both SAD ereforethe SAD matching method for ORH proposed in this studycan provide reference to the multiattribute two-sidedmatching decision method and a basis for cracking the ORHSAD matching problem which is characterized by multi-agents and multilevel supply e rationality and effec-tiveness of this method given the multiple attributes ofhousing and both SAD sidesrsquo perceived utility have beenproved in matching the SAD of ORH

In this study a genetic algorithm is used to solve the finalmatching result of the model e population evolutioncurve of the genetic algorithm is shown in Figure 8 Asshown in the figure when the population evolves to 200generations the objective function value reaches the optimalvalue and overall stability In addition the total running timeof the algorithm is 878202 seconds which is very shortWhen the scale of the problem is large it is very feasible toapply genetic algorithms to solve the problem of matchingSAD of online rental housing

42 Discussion

421 Impact of the Weight of SAD During the transactionbetween the SAD sides the weights may not be fair whichmay cause the matching result to be inconsistent with theactual situation To further verify the rationality and com-prehensiveness of the algorithm we verified the weight ofthe SAD double from 0 to 1 respectively As shown inFigure 9 the overall satisfaction of the SAD sides increasedas the weight of the landlord increased but the opposite istrue for the tenants is may be because landlords havefewer housing attributes to consider during the transactionmatching process

422 Impact of the Number of SAD For online housingplatforms the number of SAD sides may be unequal and itmay be a situation where suppliers exceed demanderserefore to further verify the effectiveness of themodel andalgorithm we attempted to calculate a situation in which thesuppliers exceed demanders and added 5 pieces of rentalinformation for calculation It was found that when mle nthe overall satisfaction of both SAD sides became largerZ 43832 which was 01458 higher than the satisfactionvalue when m n is may be caused by some tenantsmatching with more suitable landlords making the satis-faction value higher e influence of the SAD quantities onthe overall satisfaction value Z is shown in Figure 10 Insummary this model is applicable in matching the supplyand demand of ORH

Overall from the analysis of the results the weightsoccupied by the SAD affected the overall satisfaction valuebut had no effect on the final matching result In additionthis model is applicable when the supply is equal to thedemand or the supply is greater than the demandis studyimproves the two-sided matching theory and extends it tothe online leasing market to provide matching efficiencybetween the SAD sides [1]

423 Comparison with Other Methods e method pro-posed in this study may have some differences comparedwith other methodsWith regard to model application someliterature studies have applied matching methods to fieldssuch as hospital diagnosis carpool matching job and per-sonnel matching electronic market matching electric powerretailer and buyer matching and technology marketmatching However application in the rental housingmarket is limited From the perspective of model quantifi-cation methods some scholars quantify the satisfactionvalues of the SAD based on fuzzy sets triangular intui-tionistic fuzzy numbers and gray correlation analysis butthese methods do not consider the psychological behavior ofparticipants erefore we quantify the perceived utilityvalue of the SAD sides based on the disappointment theorystarting from the perceptions of the SAD sides which are

In this study an ORHmultiattribute SADmatching decisionmodel based on the perceived utility is constructed ismodel determines the multiattribute indicators and pro-portions of housing that both SAD sides are interested in Byconsidering the psychological expectations of both SAD inmeasuring the perceived utility values this model maximizesthe overall satisfaction of both SAD Finally using Shang-hairsquos online rental and demand information a genetic al-gorithm is used to numerically analyze and solve the modelwhich not only obtains optimal matching results but alsoproves that the genetic algorithm can solve a large two-sidedmatching problem is model enriches the application ofdouble-sided matching theory and provides a referencemethod for online rental SAD matching At the same timethis model considers that the psychological perceptions ofthe SAD sides can maximize their overall satisfaction andpromote the matching accuracy of the model

In the context of ldquoInternet +rdquo and big data the effectivematching of online rental lists is of great implication forpromoting the effective operation of the rental housingmarket In a theoretical sense this study enriches the re-search on rental housing with particular application forrental platforms providing a new perspective for the de-velopment of rental platforms In addition it can be appliedto the rental housing markets of other cities Objectively themodel improves the effective docking of SAD and improvesthe supply sidersquos efficiency Subjectively the enthusiasm forSAD interaction is realized erefore this study has areference basis for promoting the effective matching ofonline SAD and the improvement of satisfaction of bothSAD

As with any study the article at hand suffers from severallimitations that are worth considering in further researchFirstly the method proposed in this study improves theoverall matching between the SAD but it needs to be furthercompared with other decision-making methods Such as inthe future we will further study to compare it with othermethods that actually produce results Second because theeconomic and social backgrounds of each SAD subject aredifferent the characteristic variables of the SAD matchingdecision model in different cities may be different In thefuture we will adjust the multiattribute equations andquantitative standards according to the characteristics of

different cities In addition the actual practice results shouldbe used to verify the SAD matching decision model indifferent cities to promote the sustainable development ofthe rental housing market

Furthermore in the transaction process of the ORHplatforms the multiattribute expectations of both partiesshould be considered Regardless of the tenants or landlordseach subject considers their own subjectrsquos interests based onmultiple values which will directly or indirectly reflect theexpected value of the property Moreover the supply side ofthe rental housing market should increase the informationsymmetry of SAD subjects to ensure that the information istransparent and open and that the transaction process isstandardized guaranteeing easy access to information forboth parties

process [12 13] and that these attributes affect ORH SADmatching [14] For example price floors play a central rolebetween SAD [15] while issues around house matching andcomfort transportation the surrounding environment andlandlord services are specific indicators of tenant concerns[16] Location is also a factor of housing mismatch [2] esize and location of a house are considered to be necessaryconditions for appropriate house matching [14] ereforehousing attributes play a very important role in balancingthe SAD of ORH

Although the aforementioned models proposed by ex-tant studies can reduce the cost of searching in the matchingprocessmdashconsidering that housing multiattribute indicatorsare factors in the SAD matching processmdashthey do notpromote the effective matching of ORH or the improvementof matching satisfaction between the SAD sides In factwhen a matching decision occurs in the actual process mostsubjects are in limited rationality [17] their expected valuesare limited by existing information and their own expec-tations [18 19] us the final matching pair may have ahigher or lower value than the expected value leading tobelow-optimal satisfaction with the matching results Inaddition perceived utility is a product of a demandersrsquoassessment of the services values and functions of the re-quired items compared to their own expectations how theyweigh the perceived benefits and costs and the value theyfinally put on the required items [20] In assessing profit andloss values the theory of disappointment reflects the samedifference between actual and expected results [21] Loomesand Sugden also believed that ldquodisappointmentrdquo and ldquoex-citementrdquo are key factors in making rational choices [22]erefore using disappointment theory to quantify theperceived utility of both SAD can reflect the psychologicalactivities of both sides

In recent years with the acceleration of urbanization thehousing problem of Chinarsquos floating population has becomeincreasingly prominent In 2018 the floating populationreached 241 million of which 210 million required rentalhousing covering an area of 673 billion square meters Inaddition large and medium-sized cities in China are re-quired to build a rental housing platform to promote thematching efficiency of rental housing However the housingrental market is undeveloped and has many problems suchas low supply efficiency lack of diverse supply systems andlow capability to meeting peoplersquos housing demand [6 23]Among them is Shanghai the central city of China with arelatively large annual flow of floating population and a greatdemand for rental housing erefore taking Shanghai asour case study may help understand and reflect the problemsof other cities is is of great significance for promoting thedevelopment of the rental housing market

In online rental housing transactions the real estatenetwork platform involved is a two-sided market thatconnects the SAD sides of rental housing through whichvarious agents interact with one another and the transac-tions cater to the needs of all the users (both SAD)erefore this study attempts to apply the two-sidedmatching theory to the housing rental market To improvethe satisfaction of both SAD sides this study uses

disappointment theory to construct quantitative perceivedutility value matrices First we start by quantifying the utilityof housing as perceived by both SAD sides based on themultiattribute matching characteristics of both sides Sec-ond we construct a multiattribute SAD matching decisionmodel for ORH platforms Finally we adopt online SADinformation from Shanghai China to ensure that themultiattribute information of rental housing has beenidentified and to empirically test the validity and rationalityof the model safeguarding the construction of an innovativemethod for ORH SAD matching

e contributions of this study are twofold First thestudy constructs an effective SADmatchingmodel for onlinerental housing platforms and enriches the application of thetwo-sided matching theory Currently research on two-sided matching is mostly applied in the marriage marketlabor market schools and hospitals but is rarely used in therental housing market especially for application in onlinerental housing service platforms erefore this study un-dertakes to verify the applicability and effectiveness of thetwo-sided matching theory in the rental housing marketis provides a reference and a theoretical method forcracking the SADmatching problem that has plagued onlinerental housing platforms with multisubject and multilevelsupply methods Second the attributes of ORH are deter-mined and measured ese can be easily extended to othercities and online platforms providing reference to thefeasibility of analyzing multiattribute decision-makingmatching problems is also helps to improve the overallsatisfaction and quality of SAD matching efforts by con-sidering the expectations and real values of both SAD sidesIn sum this study is valuable for improving the efficiency ofSAD matching for online platforms as well as the sus-tainable development of the rental housing market

e remainder of this article is arranged as followsSection 2 presents a detailed literature review Section 3introduces the research materials and methods e em-pirical results and discussion are presented in Section 4Finally Section 5 summarizes the conclusions and impli-cations of this study

2 Literature Review

21 Disappointment (eory e disappointment theoryproposed by Bell [21] and Loomes and Sugden [22] is basedon psychological reactions caused by the comparison ofactual results with expectations [24] Fundamentally thedisappointment theory suggests that when actual results arebetter than expected policymakers will be ecstatic whenactual results are worse than expected manufacturers will bedisappointed and that the greater the disparity between theoutcome and the expectation the greater the disappoint-ment [21] So far there are three main contemporary dis-appointment models [25 26] e first is the BellndashLoomesand Sugden disappointment model is model essentiallyquantifies the ldquomodified expected utilityrdquo of human satis-faction in the case of disappointment e second is Gulrsquosdisappointment aversion (DA)model which decomposes theparticipantsrsquo psychological cognition into disappointment

and elation parts with respect to a new certainty equivalente third and the last model is Cillo and Delquiersquos disap-pointment without prior expectationmodel is model doesnot assume that the decision maker sets a single referencepoint of comparison prior to a certain experience Takingthis theory into account and the idea that actual utility is acombination of subjective utility functions and disap-pointment and exhilaration functions [21] this paper usesthe disappointment theory to calculate the perceived utilityvalues of both SAD sides

In recent years many scholars have quantified the sat-isfaction of matching objects based on the disappointmenttheory For example Quan et alrsquos study explored customerpsychological satisfaction based on customer disappoint-ment and pleasure behaviors and their method promotesretailer pricing and inventory decisions [27] Similarly Maet al established a SAD matching model for the electricityretail industry by considering the disappointment of sen-sitive customers and new electricity retail companies byconsidering the pleasant psychological perception andobtaining the perceived utility of both partiesis method isverified to be beneficial for themanagement of a high-qualityelectricity market Zhang et al built a matching optimizationmodel that maximizes satisfaction by calculating the dis-appointment and excitement associated with both SAD sidesbased on the disappointment theory [28] Zhao et al pro-posed a two-sided matching model to elaborate the pref-erence order of SAD by considering the participantsrsquopsychological perception Using the functions of disap-pointment and cheerfulness this model effectively improvesthe carpool matching problem [26] Another example is thatby Fan et al who proposed a two-waymatchingmethod thatconsiders the psychological behavior of the agents of bothparties and constructed a two-objective optimization modelto obtain satisfactory matching results [29] ese modelsmaximize the satisfaction of both SAD sides and by con-sidering the degree of their disappointment and elationthese models effectively reflect the perception activities ofboth sides which is conducive to promoting the improve-ment of the satisfaction of SAD

22 Two-Sided Matching e two-sided matching theoryoriginated from a study on marriage matching that focusedon satisfying both parties with matching results according tothe requirements of SAD sides [30] Gale and Shapley fromwhich Shapley became the 2012 Nobel laureate in eco-nomics first proposed the G-S algorithm for stable matchingbased on the strong preference information given by bothmen and women [31] Later Roth another Nobel laureate ineconomics applied the G-S algorithm to the hospital in-ternship market [30] Since then the two-sided matchingtheory has been developed and widely used in various fieldssuch as staff and job matching data trading marketmatching commodity trading issues and college admissionissues At the same time some scholars have proposed avariety of matching methods including the deferred algo-rithm [32] evolutionary algorithm [33 34] and multi-attribute preference decision-making methods [35]

Nonetheless the two-sided matching theory has proved tohave a wide range of practical applications

With the popularity of the Internet some scholars havebegun to talk about the application of the two-sidedmatching theory to the SAD matching problems of manyonline transactions For the second-hand housing markettaking the online rental-sale matching problem as an ex-ample Wang et al established a two-sided matching de-cision method based on heterogeneous information andassociation the feasibility of which was verified [36] In theelectronic market environment Gao et al provided a stablemultilateral automated negotiation system model andshowed that this model can promote effective matchingbetween the SAD sides For the power purchase market[37] Kong et al proposed a SAD matching model forpower retailers and buyers of cellular networks based on thetwo-sided matching theory which solves the energymanagement problem of microgrid-connected cellularnetworks for the small- and medium-sized market of thesharing economy [38] Xia et al constructed a two-sidedmatching model that promotes the maximization of theinterests of buyers sellers and agents and improves thematching efficiency thereof For the hospitalrsquos expert-outpatient matching appointment system [39] Yang et alconstructed a matching model based on the two-sidedmatching theory that improves the effectiveness of medicaltreatment [40] ese models built by scholars based on thetwo-sided theory have solved the problem of matching SADin different fields

Similarly in the existing literature the two-sidedmatching theory has been widely applied to online tradingplatforms and has improved thematching efficiency betweenSAD Nevertheless its application in ORH transactions islimited In addition existing two-sided matching decision-making methods rarely consider the psychological percep-tion of disappointment or elation when the subjective desiresof both parties match and when the psychological percep-tions are closely related to the satisfaction of both parties inthe final matching schemee satisfaction of the two partiesneeds to effectively characterize the psychological perceptionof both parties Moreover in the process of matching ORHSAD both sides will consider the multiattribute informationof housing [12] but there are very few studies covering themultiattribute two-sided matching model erefore thispaper proposes a multiattribute supply-demand matchingmethod for online rental listings based on the perceivedutility

On online house rental platforms tenants and landlordscan be regarded as two unconnected sets Each set willevaluate the actual value of the property according to its ownpsychological expectations e main goal of a matchingmethod in this case is to promote effective matching betweenSAD based on the tenantsrsquo and landlordsrsquo mental perceptionerefore this study aims to apply the two-sided matchingtheory to the SAD matching problem of online rentalhousing services to accurately characterize the SAD per-ceptions of both sides and to quantify the perceived utilitiesof both SAD based on the disappointment theory to promotesatisfaction over the matching results

311 Description and Assumption On online rental plat-forms three parties are involved suppliers demanders andindependent intermediaries or brokers Suppliers on onlinerental platforms are usually landlords with vacant houses thedemanders are the potential tenants (those with housing needs)while independent intermediaries or brokers are service orga-nizations that assist in matching the SAD sides based on theinformation provided by the suppliers and demanders In thematching process the brokers satisfy the requirements of theSAD parties to the greatest extent according to the informationprovided by them In this study the interactions of the suppliersand demanders can be explained with a SAD matchingframework as done in the following All variable assumptionsand descriptions in the paper are shown in Table 1

Based on the above analysis and definition the multi-attribute SAD matching decision model for ORH can bedescribed in Figure 1 e first step is the landlords sub-mitting the real multiattribute evaluation value of the houses

to the broker and the broker displaying the multiattributeinformation of those houses on the online rental platforme second step is the tenants searching for the desiredrental house on the online rental housing platformaccording to the expected value of each attribute of the rentalhouses e third step involves the tenants measuring thereal attribute value of the house through the left expectedattribute value C1 C2 C3 Cp and the landlords mea-suring the expected attribute value of the tenants through theright expected attribute value C1 C2 C3 Ck

312 Multiattribute Supply-Demand Matching DecisionModel Development e schematic overview of the wholepaper as shown in Figure 2 presents processes and asso-ciated techniques used in this study for the construction ofthe multiattribute SAD matching decision model for ORHbased on the perceived utilityemajor steps of this processinclude (a) selecting and measuring housing multiattributeindicators for landlords and tenants to evaluate rentalhousing respectively (b) calculating the profit and lossmatrices for each attribute of the landlords and tenants (c)transforming the landlordsrsquo and tenantsrsquo profit and lossmatrices into normalized profit and loss matrices (d) cal-culating the perceived utility matrix for each attribute of thelandlords and tenants (e) determining the weight of eachattribute (f ) transforming the landlordsrsquo and tenantsrsquo per-ceived utility matrices of each attribute into a comprehensiveperceived utility matrix (g) establishing a multiattributeSAD matching decision model for ORH and (h) verifyingthe feasibility of the model based on the actual case

From Figure 2 the schematic overview of the multi-attributes based on the perceived utility is established forsupplier-demander interactions on online rental platformsrough the web crawler method the expected values andevaluation values of various housing attributes for both SADwere collected is was followed by selecting seven multi-attribute indicators of housing through word frequencyanalysis and semantic network analysisese include districttraffic convenience rent living room house supporting fa-cilities decoration and online ratings ese attributes werethenmeasured Moreover the profit and loss matrices of eachhousing attribute of the SAD were obtained based on theprofit and loss functionmethodemethod canmeasure thebenefits and costs of both SAD Next we transformed theprofit and loss matrices of the SAD into standardized profitand loss matrices by normalizing functions which can unifythe dimensions of each housing attribute Furthermore theperceived utility matrix of each housing attribute of the SADwas obtained based on the disappointment and elationfunction Considering the interaction between the housingattributes the entropy weight method was used to obtain theweight of each housing attribute and the perceived utilitymatrix of both the SAD was converted into a comprehensiveperceived utility matrix In addition based on a compre-hensive perceptual utility matrix the multiattribute SADmatching decision model for ORH was proposed e modelwas then converted into a single-objective optimizationmodel by a linear weighted method Finally to illustrate its

otherwise losses occur e above benefits and losses arequantified as follows

If Dl [dijl]mtimesn is the profit and loss matrix of tenant Ti

under attribute Cl then dijl is the profit or loss of landlord Lj

under attribute Cl Considering that tenant Ti will putforward different requirements according to their own ex-pectations dijl is calculated as follows

When attribute Cl is rent in order to ensure the fairnessof online transactions the transaction rent is set to themiddle value of the tenantsrsquo expected rent and the landlordsrsquoLj expected rent and the calculation equation of thetransaction rents pij and dijl are as follows

When attribute Cl is rent dijl is calculated by the fol-lowing three cases [41]

Case 1 when eil rjl the tenantrsquos Ti performance tolandlord Lj is neither a gain nor a lossCase 2 when eil ltpij lt rjl the tenantrsquos Ti performanceto landlord Lj is a loss e loss would be 1 minus (pijeil)Case 3 when eil gt rjl the tenantrsquos Ti performance tolandlord Lj is gain e gain is 1

When attribute Cl is not rent there are three forms ofrequirements Wang et al gave everyonersquos gains and lossesbased on expectations and the equation is as follows [42]

(1) When tenant Ti has a hard requirement of attributeCl hard constraints refer to covenants that must besatisfied by bundle conditions When the value of eil

is equal to the value of rjl tenant i and landlord J canbe matched When the value of eil is not equal to thevalue of rjl tenant Ti and landlord Lj cannot bematched en the equation for calculating dijl is asfollows

(2) When tenant Ti has a benefit requirement of attri-bute Cl the larger the attribute value of the benefit-type attribute the better dijl is calculated by thefollowing three cases

Case 1 when eil rjl the tenantrsquos Ti performanceto landlord Lj is neither a gain nor a loss underattribute Cl

Case 2 when eil lt rjl the tenantrsquos Ti performance tolandlord Lj is a gain under attribute Cl e gain isrjl minus eilCase 3 when eil gt rjl the tenantrsquos Ti performance tolandlord Lj is a loss under attribute Cl e loss isrjl minus eil

erefore when attribute Cl is a benefit requirementthe equation for calculating dijl is as follows

(3) When tenant Ti has a cost-type requirement of at-tribute Cl the lower the value of the cost attributethe better dijl is calculated by the following threecases

Similarly landlord Lj should consider whether thetenantrsquos Ti expected rent is within an acceptable range andmeets the requirements for the ORHrsquos area If Fl [aijl]mtimesn

ijl]mtimesn and the perceived utility value of bothsupplier and the demander is determined by the disap-pointment and delight function φ(x) of Grant and Kajii [44]which can be expressed as [26]

φ(x) 1 minus αx xge 0

α is the delight parameter satisfying 0lt αlt 1 while β isthe disappointment avoidance parameter satisfying 0lt βlt 1e larger α and β are the lower the subjectrsquos perceived valueof the matching results is compared to the expected value Inorder to facilitate calculation Laciana and Weber measuredthe beta value in accordance with most subject behavioralpreferences [45] 07le αle 09 07le βle 09 In this paper αand β take the same value erefore if α β 08 thenVb

323 Construction of Supply-Demand Matching ModelBased on the Perceived Utility Set xij represents a 0-1variable where xij 0 represents that tenant Ti and land-lord Lj do not match while xij 1 represents that tenant Ti

and landlord Lj match According to the comprehensiveperceived utility matrices V and Vprime under the requirementof stable matching the following two-objective optimizationmodel can be established to maximize the comprehensiveperceived utility of suppliers and demanders

Equations (15a) and (15b) are the objective functionsrespectively maximizing the sums of the perceived utilitiesof suppliers and demanders in the final matching resultEquations (15c) and (15d) are the requirements of two-sided matching Equation (15c) is an inequality require-ment because mle n which means that each tenant Ti canmatch at most one landlord Lj Equation (15d) is anequality constraint meaning that each landlord Lj can onlymatch one tenant Ti while equation (15e) is a hardrequirement

In order to realize the multiobjective optimizationmodel and maximize the overall matching degree betweensuppliers and demanders the linear weighting method canbe used to weigh equations (15a) and (15b) w1 and w2 arethe weights of Z1 and Z2 respectively to satisfy0lew1 w2 le 1 and w1 + w2 1 Considering the fairness ofthe suppliers and demanders this paper provides thatw1 w2 05 and the two-objective model (15a)ndash(15f ) canbe transformed into a single-objective optimization model(16a)ndash(16e)

324 Solution Procedure According to the above analysisthe proposed methodrsquos solution procedure for the multi-attribute ORH SADmatching decisionmodel is summarizedas follows

Step 1 collection selection and measurement ofShanghairsquos housing property SAD information from itsonline rental platforms using a web crawlerStep 2 calculation of the profit and loss matrices ofSAD based on equations (1)ndash(7)Step 3 calculation of the normative profit and lossmatrices of SAD based on equations (8) and (9)Step 4 calculation of the perceived utility matrix ofSAD based on equations (11) and (12)Step 5 calculation of the comprehensive perceivedutility matrix of SAD based on equations (13) and (14)followed by the conversion of the multiobjective op-timization model to a single-objective optimizationmodel based on the comprehensive perceived utilitymatrix in equations (15a)ndash(15f) and (16a)ndash(16e)Step 6 solving the optimization model in equations(16a)ndash(16e) to obtain the optimal matching pairs ofonline rental platformsrsquo SAD sides using a geneticalgorithm

33 Data and Measurements is section includes threesections First we introduce the background of the Shanghairental housing market and explain why it is suitable fortesting our study Second we introduce the data set which isfrom Shanghairsquos current online rental platforms ird weintroduce the selection and measurement of multiattributeindicators

331 Background of Shanghairsquos Rental Housing MarketShanghai is one of Chinarsquos four municipalities It is locatedin the east of China at the mouth of the Yangtze River and isthe leading city in the Yangtze River Economic Belt In 2017Shanghai was organized by 16 districts and counties asshown in Figure 3 including Huangpu Xuhui ChangningJingan Hongkou Yangpu Minhang Baoshang Jiading andPudong By the end of 2018 the total population of Shanghaihad reached 2424 million of which 976 million was thefloating population ranking the highest in the country

Since 1980 Chinarsquos housing market has been dominatedby sales while the rental market developed slowly Howeverwith the acceleration of Chinarsquos urbanization processmdashapowerful means of regulating urban real estate retaining theworking population and attracting new talentsmdashthe rental

housing market has become an important part of deepeningthe reform of the housing system and an important way toachieve the goal of improving urban residentsrsquo quality of lifeShanghai as Chinarsquos largest economic center city attracts alarge floating population Since 2011 Shanghairsquos permanentmigrant population has remained above 96 million per yearwhich accounts for more than 40 of the total residentpopulation as shown in Figure 4 is huge population sizehas resulted in an increase in living demands erefore thedevelopment of Shanghairsquos rental housing market requiresurgent attention

In July 2017 Chinarsquos Ministry of Housing and Con-struction and nine other departments jointly issued theldquoNotice on Accelerating the Development of Housing RentalMarket in Large- and Medium-sized Cities with Net Pop-ulation Inflowrdquo requiring large- andmedium-sized cities witha net inflow of population to set up government-backed rentalhousing service platforms erefore Shanghai now has apublic house leasing service platform In addition to thisShanghai has many private online leasing platforms in-cluding Lianjiacom Anjuke and Fangtianxia Many peopleuse these platforms to find listings Online platforms candisplay a variety of information about the listed propertysuch as the number of rooms the size of the property thedegree of decoration and the housing facilitiese platformsalso include some rent-seeking information which helpsmatch the SAD sideserefore Shanghai is a suitable samplefor testing the model constructed in this study

332 Data Collection Using the Python web crawlertechnology on May 13th 2019 we performed a crawlingexercise on 21762 articles from the current mainstreamonline rental platforms like Shanghairsquos housing leasingpublic service platform Anjuke Lianjia and Fangcom Atthe same time we collected 1739 and 929 rent-seekingmessages from 58com and Weibo respectively and ob-tained 1226 effective massages after manually deletingunrelated data e keywords used for detecting unrelateddata included ldquoI am an ownerrdquo ldquoI am an intermediaryrdquoldquocommercialrdquo ldquoshoprdquo ldquorent outrdquo ldquoofficerdquo and ldquoofficebuildingsrdquo e origins of the final data are spread across 15of Shanghairsquos 16 districts e workflow used to crawl rent-seeking information on 58com is shown in Figure 5According to the crawled rent-seeking information shown inTable 2 there is a high degree of similarity between thehousing attribute indicators considered by the potentialtenants e frequencies of the feature words related tohousing area decoration rental price appliances trans-portation and so on are relatively high Given thatShanghairsquos floating population has a relatively high demandfor rental housing and that the consideration factors arerelatively complete in the transaction it appears that thecollected rent-seeking information is adequately represen-tative with a strong reference for other cities as well

Although a word frequency analysis can reflect thepersonalized needs of the tenant by extracting high-fre-quency words it cannot reflect the connections between

those words However a semantic network analysis canvisually display the relationship between elements by con-structing a semantic relationship network map [49]erefore for this study we performed a text analysis of thecrawled information using ROSTCM6 software First thecrawled rent-seeking information was processed throughword segmentation Second the high-frequency words wereextracted and the meaningless words were filtered then theline feature words were extracted to generate VNA files andwe then imported them into NetDraw software to constructa co-occurrence matrix Finally the semantic relationshipnetwork map (shown in Figure 7) of the rent-seeking in-formation was generated As seen in Figure 7 ldquonearrdquo ldquorentrdquoldquodecorationrdquo ldquoappliancesrdquo and ldquosubwayrdquo are the centralnodes of the entire network reflecting the similarity of dif-ferent tenants in selecting online rental houses Compre-hensively tenants conduct a systematic investigation ofoverall quality when searching rental houses On the onehand in terms of location and proximity to transportationtenants share similar requirements reflected by the ldquosubwayrdquoldquotrafficrdquo and ldquonearrdquo nodes On the other hand in terms of theoverall quality of the houses tenants require properties withfacilities as reflected by the ldquoappliancesrdquo ldquofurniturerdquo andldquokitchenrdquo nodes In fact these characteristic words reflect thereal needs of tenants when choosing a rental house onlineHowever both SAD sides of ORH include institutions andorindividuals thus the transaction takes place between unfa-miliar entities In such a case the authenticity of housing andthe construction of the social credit system are significant forthe smooth operation of platforms [50] erefore this studyanalyzed the word cloud maps and semantic network mapsand finally selected seven attributes district traffic conve-nience rent living room house supporting facilities deco-ration and online ratings ese seven indicators of thecrawled listing and rent-seeking information were thenquantified separately as shown in Table 3

Step 6 the optimization model in equation (18) wassolved using a genetic algorithme derived matchingresults are shown in Table 20

As shown in Table 20 all tenants and landlords formedmatching pairs is not only shows matching results thatare satisfactory to both sidesmdashwith an overall satisfactionvalue of the matching results of Z 42374mdashbut also showsan improvement in matching efficiency at is the methodreduces matching costs and time for both SAD ereforethe SAD matching method for ORH proposed in this studycan provide reference to the multiattribute two-sidedmatching decision method and a basis for cracking the ORHSAD matching problem which is characterized by multi-agents and multilevel supply e rationality and effec-tiveness of this method given the multiple attributes ofhousing and both SAD sidesrsquo perceived utility have beenproved in matching the SAD of ORH

In this study a genetic algorithm is used to solve the finalmatching result of the model e population evolutioncurve of the genetic algorithm is shown in Figure 8 Asshown in the figure when the population evolves to 200generations the objective function value reaches the optimalvalue and overall stability In addition the total running timeof the algorithm is 878202 seconds which is very shortWhen the scale of the problem is large it is very feasible toapply genetic algorithms to solve the problem of matchingSAD of online rental housing

42 Discussion

421 Impact of the Weight of SAD During the transactionbetween the SAD sides the weights may not be fair whichmay cause the matching result to be inconsistent with theactual situation To further verify the rationality and com-prehensiveness of the algorithm we verified the weight ofthe SAD double from 0 to 1 respectively As shown inFigure 9 the overall satisfaction of the SAD sides increasedas the weight of the landlord increased but the opposite istrue for the tenants is may be because landlords havefewer housing attributes to consider during the transactionmatching process

422 Impact of the Number of SAD For online housingplatforms the number of SAD sides may be unequal and itmay be a situation where suppliers exceed demanderserefore to further verify the effectiveness of themodel andalgorithm we attempted to calculate a situation in which thesuppliers exceed demanders and added 5 pieces of rentalinformation for calculation It was found that when mle nthe overall satisfaction of both SAD sides became largerZ 43832 which was 01458 higher than the satisfactionvalue when m n is may be caused by some tenantsmatching with more suitable landlords making the satis-faction value higher e influence of the SAD quantities onthe overall satisfaction value Z is shown in Figure 10 Insummary this model is applicable in matching the supplyand demand of ORH

Overall from the analysis of the results the weightsoccupied by the SAD affected the overall satisfaction valuebut had no effect on the final matching result In additionthis model is applicable when the supply is equal to thedemand or the supply is greater than the demandis studyimproves the two-sided matching theory and extends it tothe online leasing market to provide matching efficiencybetween the SAD sides [1]

results Wang et al [36] used the min-max method and usesLINGO software to solve the matching scheme Althoughthis method is simple and easy to operate it is not suitablefor large-scale two-sided matching problems For the sat-isfaction of both SAD Haaimin [41] ignored the psycho-logical characteristics of misfortunes to avoid losses andmaximize advantages However the current multiattributetwo-sided matching decision model can maximize the sat-isfaction of SAD Meanwhile not only does the geneticalgorithm applied in this study solve the large-scale two-sided matching problem but also has a short running timewhich can quickly and effectively promote effectivematching between SAD

5 Conclusions and Implication

In this study an ORHmultiattribute SADmatching decisionmodel based on the perceived utility is constructed ismodel determines the multiattribute indicators and pro-portions of housing that both SAD sides are interested in Byconsidering the psychological expectations of both SAD inmeasuring the perceived utility values this model maximizesthe overall satisfaction of both SAD Finally using Shang-hairsquos online rental and demand information a genetic al-gorithm is used to numerically analyze and solve the modelwhich not only obtains optimal matching results but alsoproves that the genetic algorithm can solve a large two-sidedmatching problem is model enriches the application ofdouble-sided matching theory and provides a referencemethod for online rental SAD matching At the same timethis model considers that the psychological perceptions ofthe SAD sides can maximize their overall satisfaction andpromote the matching accuracy of the model

In the context of ldquoInternet +rdquo and big data the effectivematching of online rental lists is of great implication forpromoting the effective operation of the rental housingmarket In a theoretical sense this study enriches the re-search on rental housing with particular application forrental platforms providing a new perspective for the de-velopment of rental platforms In addition it can be appliedto the rental housing markets of other cities Objectively themodel improves the effective docking of SAD and improvesthe supply sidersquos efficiency Subjectively the enthusiasm forSAD interaction is realized erefore this study has areference basis for promoting the effective matching ofonline SAD and the improvement of satisfaction of bothSAD

As with any study the article at hand suffers from severallimitations that are worth considering in further researchFirstly the method proposed in this study improves theoverall matching between the SAD but it needs to be furthercompared with other decision-making methods Such as inthe future we will further study to compare it with othermethods that actually produce results Second because theeconomic and social backgrounds of each SAD subject aredifferent the characteristic variables of the SAD matchingdecision model in different cities may be different In thefuture we will adjust the multiattribute equations andquantitative standards according to the characteristics of

different cities In addition the actual practice results shouldbe used to verify the SAD matching decision model indifferent cities to promote the sustainable development ofthe rental housing market

Furthermore in the transaction process of the ORHplatforms the multiattribute expectations of both partiesshould be considered Regardless of the tenants or landlordseach subject considers their own subjectrsquos interests based onmultiple values which will directly or indirectly reflect theexpected value of the property Moreover the supply side ofthe rental housing market should increase the informationsymmetry of SAD subjects to ensure that the information istransparent and open and that the transaction process isstandardized guaranteeing easy access to information forboth parties

and elation parts with respect to a new certainty equivalente third and the last model is Cillo and Delquiersquos disap-pointment without prior expectationmodel is model doesnot assume that the decision maker sets a single referencepoint of comparison prior to a certain experience Takingthis theory into account and the idea that actual utility is acombination of subjective utility functions and disap-pointment and exhilaration functions [21] this paper usesthe disappointment theory to calculate the perceived utilityvalues of both SAD sides

In recent years many scholars have quantified the sat-isfaction of matching objects based on the disappointmenttheory For example Quan et alrsquos study explored customerpsychological satisfaction based on customer disappoint-ment and pleasure behaviors and their method promotesretailer pricing and inventory decisions [27] Similarly Maet al established a SAD matching model for the electricityretail industry by considering the disappointment of sen-sitive customers and new electricity retail companies byconsidering the pleasant psychological perception andobtaining the perceived utility of both partiesis method isverified to be beneficial for themanagement of a high-qualityelectricity market Zhang et al built a matching optimizationmodel that maximizes satisfaction by calculating the dis-appointment and excitement associated with both SAD sidesbased on the disappointment theory [28] Zhao et al pro-posed a two-sided matching model to elaborate the pref-erence order of SAD by considering the participantsrsquopsychological perception Using the functions of disap-pointment and cheerfulness this model effectively improvesthe carpool matching problem [26] Another example is thatby Fan et al who proposed a two-waymatchingmethod thatconsiders the psychological behavior of the agents of bothparties and constructed a two-objective optimization modelto obtain satisfactory matching results [29] ese modelsmaximize the satisfaction of both SAD sides and by con-sidering the degree of their disappointment and elationthese models effectively reflect the perception activities ofboth sides which is conducive to promoting the improve-ment of the satisfaction of SAD

22 Two-Sided Matching e two-sided matching theoryoriginated from a study on marriage matching that focusedon satisfying both parties with matching results according tothe requirements of SAD sides [30] Gale and Shapley fromwhich Shapley became the 2012 Nobel laureate in eco-nomics first proposed the G-S algorithm for stable matchingbased on the strong preference information given by bothmen and women [31] Later Roth another Nobel laureate ineconomics applied the G-S algorithm to the hospital in-ternship market [30] Since then the two-sided matchingtheory has been developed and widely used in various fieldssuch as staff and job matching data trading marketmatching commodity trading issues and college admissionissues At the same time some scholars have proposed avariety of matching methods including the deferred algo-rithm [32] evolutionary algorithm [33 34] and multi-attribute preference decision-making methods [35]

Nonetheless the two-sided matching theory has proved tohave a wide range of practical applications

With the popularity of the Internet some scholars havebegun to talk about the application of the two-sidedmatching theory to the SAD matching problems of manyonline transactions For the second-hand housing markettaking the online rental-sale matching problem as an ex-ample Wang et al established a two-sided matching de-cision method based on heterogeneous information andassociation the feasibility of which was verified [36] In theelectronic market environment Gao et al provided a stablemultilateral automated negotiation system model andshowed that this model can promote effective matchingbetween the SAD sides For the power purchase market[37] Kong et al proposed a SAD matching model forpower retailers and buyers of cellular networks based on thetwo-sided matching theory which solves the energymanagement problem of microgrid-connected cellularnetworks for the small- and medium-sized market of thesharing economy [38] Xia et al constructed a two-sidedmatching model that promotes the maximization of theinterests of buyers sellers and agents and improves thematching efficiency thereof For the hospitalrsquos expert-outpatient matching appointment system [39] Yang et alconstructed a matching model based on the two-sidedmatching theory that improves the effectiveness of medicaltreatment [40] ese models built by scholars based on thetwo-sided theory have solved the problem of matching SADin different fields

Similarly in the existing literature the two-sidedmatching theory has been widely applied to online tradingplatforms and has improved thematching efficiency betweenSAD Nevertheless its application in ORH transactions islimited In addition existing two-sided matching decision-making methods rarely consider the psychological percep-tion of disappointment or elation when the subjective desiresof both parties match and when the psychological percep-tions are closely related to the satisfaction of both parties inthe final matching schemee satisfaction of the two partiesneeds to effectively characterize the psychological perceptionof both parties Moreover in the process of matching ORHSAD both sides will consider the multiattribute informationof housing [12] but there are very few studies covering themultiattribute two-sided matching model erefore thispaper proposes a multiattribute supply-demand matchingmethod for online rental listings based on the perceivedutility

On online house rental platforms tenants and landlordscan be regarded as two unconnected sets Each set willevaluate the actual value of the property according to its ownpsychological expectations e main goal of a matchingmethod in this case is to promote effective matching betweenSAD based on the tenantsrsquo and landlordsrsquo mental perceptionerefore this study aims to apply the two-sided matchingtheory to the SAD matching problem of online rentalhousing services to accurately characterize the SAD per-ceptions of both sides and to quantify the perceived utilitiesof both SAD based on the disappointment theory to promotesatisfaction over the matching results

311 Description and Assumption On online rental plat-forms three parties are involved suppliers demanders andindependent intermediaries or brokers Suppliers on onlinerental platforms are usually landlords with vacant houses thedemanders are the potential tenants (those with housing needs)while independent intermediaries or brokers are service orga-nizations that assist in matching the SAD sides based on theinformation provided by the suppliers and demanders In thematching process the brokers satisfy the requirements of theSAD parties to the greatest extent according to the informationprovided by them In this study the interactions of the suppliersand demanders can be explained with a SAD matchingframework as done in the following All variable assumptionsand descriptions in the paper are shown in Table 1

Based on the above analysis and definition the multi-attribute SAD matching decision model for ORH can bedescribed in Figure 1 e first step is the landlords sub-mitting the real multiattribute evaluation value of the houses

to the broker and the broker displaying the multiattributeinformation of those houses on the online rental platforme second step is the tenants searching for the desiredrental house on the online rental housing platformaccording to the expected value of each attribute of the rentalhouses e third step involves the tenants measuring thereal attribute value of the house through the left expectedattribute value C1 C2 C3 Cp and the landlords mea-suring the expected attribute value of the tenants through theright expected attribute value C1 C2 C3 Ck

312 Multiattribute Supply-Demand Matching DecisionModel Development e schematic overview of the wholepaper as shown in Figure 2 presents processes and asso-ciated techniques used in this study for the construction ofthe multiattribute SAD matching decision model for ORHbased on the perceived utilityemajor steps of this processinclude (a) selecting and measuring housing multiattributeindicators for landlords and tenants to evaluate rentalhousing respectively (b) calculating the profit and lossmatrices for each attribute of the landlords and tenants (c)transforming the landlordsrsquo and tenantsrsquo profit and lossmatrices into normalized profit and loss matrices (d) cal-culating the perceived utility matrix for each attribute of thelandlords and tenants (e) determining the weight of eachattribute (f ) transforming the landlordsrsquo and tenantsrsquo per-ceived utility matrices of each attribute into a comprehensiveperceived utility matrix (g) establishing a multiattributeSAD matching decision model for ORH and (h) verifyingthe feasibility of the model based on the actual case

From Figure 2 the schematic overview of the multi-attributes based on the perceived utility is established forsupplier-demander interactions on online rental platformsrough the web crawler method the expected values andevaluation values of various housing attributes for both SADwere collected is was followed by selecting seven multi-attribute indicators of housing through word frequencyanalysis and semantic network analysisese include districttraffic convenience rent living room house supporting fa-cilities decoration and online ratings ese attributes werethenmeasured Moreover the profit and loss matrices of eachhousing attribute of the SAD were obtained based on theprofit and loss functionmethodemethod canmeasure thebenefits and costs of both SAD Next we transformed theprofit and loss matrices of the SAD into standardized profitand loss matrices by normalizing functions which can unifythe dimensions of each housing attribute Furthermore theperceived utility matrix of each housing attribute of the SADwas obtained based on the disappointment and elationfunction Considering the interaction between the housingattributes the entropy weight method was used to obtain theweight of each housing attribute and the perceived utilitymatrix of both the SAD was converted into a comprehensiveperceived utility matrix In addition based on a compre-hensive perceptual utility matrix the multiattribute SADmatching decision model for ORH was proposed e modelwas then converted into a single-objective optimizationmodel by a linear weighted method Finally to illustrate its

otherwise losses occur e above benefits and losses arequantified as follows

If Dl [dijl]mtimesn is the profit and loss matrix of tenant Ti

under attribute Cl then dijl is the profit or loss of landlord Lj

under attribute Cl Considering that tenant Ti will putforward different requirements according to their own ex-pectations dijl is calculated as follows

When attribute Cl is rent in order to ensure the fairnessof online transactions the transaction rent is set to themiddle value of the tenantsrsquo expected rent and the landlordsrsquoLj expected rent and the calculation equation of thetransaction rents pij and dijl are as follows

pij rjl + eil

2 i isinM j isin N l isin K (1)

When attribute Cl is rent dijl is calculated by the fol-lowing three cases [41]

Case 1 when eil rjl the tenantrsquos Ti performance tolandlord Lj is neither a gain nor a lossCase 2 when eil ltpij lt rjl the tenantrsquos Ti performanceto landlord Lj is a loss e loss would be 1 minus (pijeil)Case 3 when eil gt rjl the tenantrsquos Ti performance tolandlord Lj is gain e gain is 1

When attribute Cl is not rent there are three forms ofrequirements Wang et al gave everyonersquos gains and lossesbased on expectations and the equation is as follows [42]

(1) When tenant Ti has a hard requirement of attributeCl hard constraints refer to covenants that must besatisfied by bundle conditions When the value of eil

is equal to the value of rjl tenant i and landlord J canbe matched When the value of eil is not equal to thevalue of rjl tenant Ti and landlord Lj cannot bematched en the equation for calculating dijl is asfollows

dijl 1 rjl eil

⎧⎨

(2) When tenant Ti has a benefit requirement of attri-bute Cl the larger the attribute value of the benefit-type attribute the better dijl is calculated by thefollowing three cases

Case 1 when eil rjl the tenantrsquos Ti performanceto landlord Lj is neither a gain nor a loss underattribute Cl

Case 2 when eil lt rjl the tenantrsquos Ti performance tolandlord Lj is a gain under attribute Cl e gain isrjl minus eilCase 3 when eil gt rjl the tenantrsquos Ti performance tolandlord Lj is a loss under attribute Cl e loss isrjl minus eil

erefore when attribute Cl is a benefit requirementthe equation for calculating dijl is as follows

(3) When tenant Ti has a cost-type requirement of at-tribute Cl the lower the value of the cost attributethe better dijl is calculated by the following threecases

Case 1 when eil rjl the tenantrsquos Ti performanceto landlord Lj is neither a gain nor a loss givenattribute ClCase 2 when eil lt rjl the tenantrsquos Ti performance tolandlord Lj is a loss given attribute Cl e loss iseil minus rjlCase 3 when eil gt rjl the tenantrsquos Ti performance tolandlord Lj is a gain given Cl e gain is eil minus rjl

Similarly landlord Lj should consider whether thetenantrsquos Ti expected rent is within an acceptable range andmeets the requirements for the ORHrsquos area If Fl [aijl]mtimesn

and Vsl [vs

ijl]mtimesn and the perceived utility value of bothsupplier and the demander is determined by the disap-pointment and delight function φ(x) of Grant and Kajii [44]which can be expressed as [26]

φ(x) 1 minus αx xge 0

β(minus x) minus 1 xlt 01113896 (10)

α is the delight parameter satisfying 0lt αlt 1 while β isthe disappointment avoidance parameter satisfying 0lt βlt 1e larger α and β are the lower the subjectrsquos perceived valueof the matching results is compared to the expected value Inorder to facilitate calculation Laciana and Weber measuredthe beta value in accordance with most subject behavioralpreferences [45] 07le αle 09 07le βle 09 In this paper αand β take the same value erefore if α β 08 thenVb

323 Construction of Supply-Demand Matching ModelBased on the Perceived Utility Set xij represents a 0-1variable where xij 0 represents that tenant Ti and land-lord Lj do not match while xij 1 represents that tenant Ti

and landlord Lj match According to the comprehensiveperceived utility matrices V and Vprime under the requirementof stable matching the following two-objective optimizationmodel can be established to maximize the comprehensiveperceived utility of suppliers and demanders

Equations (15a) and (15b) are the objective functionsrespectively maximizing the sums of the perceived utilitiesof suppliers and demanders in the final matching resultEquations (15c) and (15d) are the requirements of two-sided matching Equation (15c) is an inequality require-ment because mle n which means that each tenant Ti canmatch at most one landlord Lj Equation (15d) is anequality constraint meaning that each landlord Lj can onlymatch one tenant Ti while equation (15e) is a hardrequirement

In order to realize the multiobjective optimizationmodel and maximize the overall matching degree betweensuppliers and demanders the linear weighting method canbe used to weigh equations (15a) and (15b) w1 and w2 arethe weights of Z1 and Z2 respectively to satisfy0lew1 w2 le 1 and w1 + w2 1 Considering the fairness ofthe suppliers and demanders this paper provides thatw1 w2 05 and the two-objective model (15a)ndash(15f ) canbe transformed into a single-objective optimization model(16a)ndash(16e)

324 Solution Procedure According to the above analysisthe proposed methodrsquos solution procedure for the multi-attribute ORH SADmatching decisionmodel is summarizedas follows

Step 1 collection selection and measurement ofShanghairsquos housing property SAD information from itsonline rental platforms using a web crawlerStep 2 calculation of the profit and loss matrices ofSAD based on equations (1)ndash(7)Step 3 calculation of the normative profit and lossmatrices of SAD based on equations (8) and (9)Step 4 calculation of the perceived utility matrix ofSAD based on equations (11) and (12)Step 5 calculation of the comprehensive perceivedutility matrix of SAD based on equations (13) and (14)followed by the conversion of the multiobjective op-timization model to a single-objective optimizationmodel based on the comprehensive perceived utilitymatrix in equations (15a)ndash(15f) and (16a)ndash(16e)Step 6 solving the optimization model in equations(16a)ndash(16e) to obtain the optimal matching pairs ofonline rental platformsrsquo SAD sides using a geneticalgorithm

33 Data and Measurements is section includes threesections First we introduce the background of the Shanghairental housing market and explain why it is suitable fortesting our study Second we introduce the data set which isfrom Shanghairsquos current online rental platforms ird weintroduce the selection and measurement of multiattributeindicators

331 Background of Shanghairsquos Rental Housing MarketShanghai is one of Chinarsquos four municipalities It is locatedin the east of China at the mouth of the Yangtze River and isthe leading city in the Yangtze River Economic Belt In 2017Shanghai was organized by 16 districts and counties asshown in Figure 3 including Huangpu Xuhui ChangningJingan Hongkou Yangpu Minhang Baoshang Jiading andPudong By the end of 2018 the total population of Shanghaihad reached 2424 million of which 976 million was thefloating population ranking the highest in the country

Since 1980 Chinarsquos housing market has been dominatedby sales while the rental market developed slowly Howeverwith the acceleration of Chinarsquos urbanization processmdashapowerful means of regulating urban real estate retaining theworking population and attracting new talentsmdashthe rental

housing market has become an important part of deepeningthe reform of the housing system and an important way toachieve the goal of improving urban residentsrsquo quality of lifeShanghai as Chinarsquos largest economic center city attracts alarge floating population Since 2011 Shanghairsquos permanentmigrant population has remained above 96 million per yearwhich accounts for more than 40 of the total residentpopulation as shown in Figure 4 is huge population sizehas resulted in an increase in living demands erefore thedevelopment of Shanghairsquos rental housing market requiresurgent attention

In July 2017 Chinarsquos Ministry of Housing and Con-struction and nine other departments jointly issued theldquoNotice on Accelerating the Development of Housing RentalMarket in Large- and Medium-sized Cities with Net Pop-ulation Inflowrdquo requiring large- andmedium-sized cities witha net inflow of population to set up government-backed rentalhousing service platforms erefore Shanghai now has apublic house leasing service platform In addition to thisShanghai has many private online leasing platforms in-cluding Lianjiacom Anjuke and Fangtianxia Many peopleuse these platforms to find listings Online platforms candisplay a variety of information about the listed propertysuch as the number of rooms the size of the property thedegree of decoration and the housing facilitiese platformsalso include some rent-seeking information which helpsmatch the SAD sideserefore Shanghai is a suitable samplefor testing the model constructed in this study

332 Data Collection Using the Python web crawlertechnology on May 13th 2019 we performed a crawlingexercise on 21762 articles from the current mainstreamonline rental platforms like Shanghairsquos housing leasingpublic service platform Anjuke Lianjia and Fangcom Atthe same time we collected 1739 and 929 rent-seekingmessages from 58com and Weibo respectively and ob-tained 1226 effective massages after manually deletingunrelated data e keywords used for detecting unrelateddata included ldquoI am an ownerrdquo ldquoI am an intermediaryrdquoldquocommercialrdquo ldquoshoprdquo ldquorent outrdquo ldquoofficerdquo and ldquoofficebuildingsrdquo e origins of the final data are spread across 15of Shanghairsquos 16 districts e workflow used to crawl rent-seeking information on 58com is shown in Figure 5According to the crawled rent-seeking information shown inTable 2 there is a high degree of similarity between thehousing attribute indicators considered by the potentialtenants e frequencies of the feature words related tohousing area decoration rental price appliances trans-portation and so on are relatively high Given thatShanghairsquos floating population has a relatively high demandfor rental housing and that the consideration factors arerelatively complete in the transaction it appears that thecollected rent-seeking information is adequately represen-tative with a strong reference for other cities as well

Although a word frequency analysis can reflect thepersonalized needs of the tenant by extracting high-fre-quency words it cannot reflect the connections between

those words However a semantic network analysis canvisually display the relationship between elements by con-structing a semantic relationship network map [49]erefore for this study we performed a text analysis of thecrawled information using ROSTCM6 software First thecrawled rent-seeking information was processed throughword segmentation Second the high-frequency words wereextracted and the meaningless words were filtered then theline feature words were extracted to generate VNA files andwe then imported them into NetDraw software to constructa co-occurrence matrix Finally the semantic relationshipnetwork map (shown in Figure 7) of the rent-seeking in-formation was generated As seen in Figure 7 ldquonearrdquo ldquorentrdquoldquodecorationrdquo ldquoappliancesrdquo and ldquosubwayrdquo are the centralnodes of the entire network reflecting the similarity of dif-ferent tenants in selecting online rental houses Compre-hensively tenants conduct a systematic investigation ofoverall quality when searching rental houses On the onehand in terms of location and proximity to transportationtenants share similar requirements reflected by the ldquosubwayrdquoldquotrafficrdquo and ldquonearrdquo nodes On the other hand in terms of theoverall quality of the houses tenants require properties withfacilities as reflected by the ldquoappliancesrdquo ldquofurniturerdquo andldquokitchenrdquo nodes In fact these characteristic words reflect thereal needs of tenants when choosing a rental house onlineHowever both SAD sides of ORH include institutions andorindividuals thus the transaction takes place between unfa-miliar entities In such a case the authenticity of housing andthe construction of the social credit system are significant forthe smooth operation of platforms [50] erefore this studyanalyzed the word cloud maps and semantic network mapsand finally selected seven attributes district traffic conve-nience rent living room house supporting facilities deco-ration and online ratings ese seven indicators of thecrawled listing and rent-seeking information were thenquantified separately as shown in Table 3

Step 6 the optimization model in equation (18) wassolved using a genetic algorithme derived matchingresults are shown in Table 20

As shown in Table 20 all tenants and landlords formedmatching pairs is not only shows matching results thatare satisfactory to both sidesmdashwith an overall satisfactionvalue of the matching results of Z 42374mdashbut also showsan improvement in matching efficiency at is the methodreduces matching costs and time for both SAD ereforethe SAD matching method for ORH proposed in this studycan provide reference to the multiattribute two-sidedmatching decision method and a basis for cracking the ORHSAD matching problem which is characterized by multi-agents and multilevel supply e rationality and effec-tiveness of this method given the multiple attributes ofhousing and both SAD sidesrsquo perceived utility have beenproved in matching the SAD of ORH

In this study a genetic algorithm is used to solve the finalmatching result of the model e population evolutioncurve of the genetic algorithm is shown in Figure 8 Asshown in the figure when the population evolves to 200generations the objective function value reaches the optimalvalue and overall stability In addition the total running timeof the algorithm is 878202 seconds which is very shortWhen the scale of the problem is large it is very feasible toapply genetic algorithms to solve the problem of matchingSAD of online rental housing

42 Discussion

421 Impact of the Weight of SAD During the transactionbetween the SAD sides the weights may not be fair whichmay cause the matching result to be inconsistent with theactual situation To further verify the rationality and com-prehensiveness of the algorithm we verified the weight ofthe SAD double from 0 to 1 respectively As shown inFigure 9 the overall satisfaction of the SAD sides increasedas the weight of the landlord increased but the opposite istrue for the tenants is may be because landlords havefewer housing attributes to consider during the transactionmatching process

422 Impact of the Number of SAD For online housingplatforms the number of SAD sides may be unequal and itmay be a situation where suppliers exceed demanderserefore to further verify the effectiveness of themodel andalgorithm we attempted to calculate a situation in which thesuppliers exceed demanders and added 5 pieces of rentalinformation for calculation It was found that when mle nthe overall satisfaction of both SAD sides became largerZ 43832 which was 01458 higher than the satisfactionvalue when m n is may be caused by some tenantsmatching with more suitable landlords making the satis-faction value higher e influence of the SAD quantities onthe overall satisfaction value Z is shown in Figure 10 Insummary this model is applicable in matching the supplyand demand of ORH

Overall from the analysis of the results the weightsoccupied by the SAD affected the overall satisfaction valuebut had no effect on the final matching result In additionthis model is applicable when the supply is equal to thedemand or the supply is greater than the demandis studyimproves the two-sided matching theory and extends it tothe online leasing market to provide matching efficiencybetween the SAD sides [1]

results Wang et al [36] used the min-max method and usesLINGO software to solve the matching scheme Althoughthis method is simple and easy to operate it is not suitablefor large-scale two-sided matching problems For the sat-isfaction of both SAD Haaimin [41] ignored the psycho-logical characteristics of misfortunes to avoid losses andmaximize advantages However the current multiattributetwo-sided matching decision model can maximize the sat-isfaction of SAD Meanwhile not only does the geneticalgorithm applied in this study solve the large-scale two-sided matching problem but also has a short running timewhich can quickly and effectively promote effectivematching between SAD

5 Conclusions and Implication

In this study an ORHmultiattribute SADmatching decisionmodel based on the perceived utility is constructed ismodel determines the multiattribute indicators and pro-portions of housing that both SAD sides are interested in Byconsidering the psychological expectations of both SAD inmeasuring the perceived utility values this model maximizesthe overall satisfaction of both SAD Finally using Shang-hairsquos online rental and demand information a genetic al-gorithm is used to numerically analyze and solve the modelwhich not only obtains optimal matching results but alsoproves that the genetic algorithm can solve a large two-sidedmatching problem is model enriches the application ofdouble-sided matching theory and provides a referencemethod for online rental SAD matching At the same timethis model considers that the psychological perceptions ofthe SAD sides can maximize their overall satisfaction andpromote the matching accuracy of the model

In the context of ldquoInternet +rdquo and big data the effectivematching of online rental lists is of great implication forpromoting the effective operation of the rental housingmarket In a theoretical sense this study enriches the re-search on rental housing with particular application forrental platforms providing a new perspective for the de-velopment of rental platforms In addition it can be appliedto the rental housing markets of other cities Objectively themodel improves the effective docking of SAD and improvesthe supply sidersquos efficiency Subjectively the enthusiasm forSAD interaction is realized erefore this study has areference basis for promoting the effective matching ofonline SAD and the improvement of satisfaction of bothSAD

As with any study the article at hand suffers from severallimitations that are worth considering in further researchFirstly the method proposed in this study improves theoverall matching between the SAD but it needs to be furthercompared with other decision-making methods Such as inthe future we will further study to compare it with othermethods that actually produce results Second because theeconomic and social backgrounds of each SAD subject aredifferent the characteristic variables of the SAD matchingdecision model in different cities may be different In thefuture we will adjust the multiattribute equations andquantitative standards according to the characteristics of

different cities In addition the actual practice results shouldbe used to verify the SAD matching decision model indifferent cities to promote the sustainable development ofthe rental housing market

Furthermore in the transaction process of the ORHplatforms the multiattribute expectations of both partiesshould be considered Regardless of the tenants or landlordseach subject considers their own subjectrsquos interests based onmultiple values which will directly or indirectly reflect theexpected value of the property Moreover the supply side ofthe rental housing market should increase the informationsymmetry of SAD subjects to ensure that the information istransparent and open and that the transaction process isstandardized guaranteeing easy access to information forboth parties

31 Framework and Schematic Diagram of the MultiattributeSAD Matching Decision Model of ORH

311 Description and Assumption On online rental plat-forms three parties are involved suppliers demanders andindependent intermediaries or brokers Suppliers on onlinerental platforms are usually landlords with vacant houses thedemanders are the potential tenants (those with housing needs)while independent intermediaries or brokers are service orga-nizations that assist in matching the SAD sides based on theinformation provided by the suppliers and demanders In thematching process the brokers satisfy the requirements of theSAD parties to the greatest extent according to the informationprovided by them In this study the interactions of the suppliersand demanders can be explained with a SAD matchingframework as done in the following All variable assumptionsand descriptions in the paper are shown in Table 1

Based on the above analysis and definition the multi-attribute SAD matching decision model for ORH can bedescribed in Figure 1 e first step is the landlords sub-mitting the real multiattribute evaluation value of the houses

to the broker and the broker displaying the multiattributeinformation of those houses on the online rental platforme second step is the tenants searching for the desiredrental house on the online rental housing platformaccording to the expected value of each attribute of the rentalhouses e third step involves the tenants measuring thereal attribute value of the house through the left expectedattribute value C1 C2 C3 Cp and the landlords mea-suring the expected attribute value of the tenants through theright expected attribute value C1 C2 C3 Ck

312 Multiattribute Supply-Demand Matching DecisionModel Development e schematic overview of the wholepaper as shown in Figure 2 presents processes and asso-ciated techniques used in this study for the construction ofthe multiattribute SAD matching decision model for ORHbased on the perceived utilityemajor steps of this processinclude (a) selecting and measuring housing multiattributeindicators for landlords and tenants to evaluate rentalhousing respectively (b) calculating the profit and lossmatrices for each attribute of the landlords and tenants (c)transforming the landlordsrsquo and tenantsrsquo profit and lossmatrices into normalized profit and loss matrices (d) cal-culating the perceived utility matrix for each attribute of thelandlords and tenants (e) determining the weight of eachattribute (f ) transforming the landlordsrsquo and tenantsrsquo per-ceived utility matrices of each attribute into a comprehensiveperceived utility matrix (g) establishing a multiattributeSAD matching decision model for ORH and (h) verifyingthe feasibility of the model based on the actual case

From Figure 2 the schematic overview of the multi-attributes based on the perceived utility is established forsupplier-demander interactions on online rental platformsrough the web crawler method the expected values andevaluation values of various housing attributes for both SADwere collected is was followed by selecting seven multi-attribute indicators of housing through word frequencyanalysis and semantic network analysisese include districttraffic convenience rent living room house supporting fa-cilities decoration and online ratings ese attributes werethenmeasured Moreover the profit and loss matrices of eachhousing attribute of the SAD were obtained based on theprofit and loss functionmethodemethod canmeasure thebenefits and costs of both SAD Next we transformed theprofit and loss matrices of the SAD into standardized profitand loss matrices by normalizing functions which can unifythe dimensions of each housing attribute Furthermore theperceived utility matrix of each housing attribute of the SADwas obtained based on the disappointment and elationfunction Considering the interaction between the housingattributes the entropy weight method was used to obtain theweight of each housing attribute and the perceived utilitymatrix of both the SAD was converted into a comprehensiveperceived utility matrix In addition based on a compre-hensive perceptual utility matrix the multiattribute SADmatching decision model for ORH was proposed e modelwas then converted into a single-objective optimizationmodel by a linear weighted method Finally to illustrate its

losses are subject to psychological perception andpsychological perception is closely related to the satis-faction of both SAD sides in the final matching schemeis study specifically describes the values of the profitsand losses of both suppliers and the demanders asfollows

otherwise losses occur e above benefits and losses arequantified as follows

If Dl [dijl]mtimesn is the profit and loss matrix of tenant Ti

under attribute Cl then dijl is the profit or loss of landlord Lj

under attribute Cl Considering that tenant Ti will putforward different requirements according to their own ex-pectations dijl is calculated as follows

When attribute Cl is rent in order to ensure the fairnessof online transactions the transaction rent is set to themiddle value of the tenantsrsquo expected rent and the landlordsrsquoLj expected rent and the calculation equation of thetransaction rents pij and dijl are as follows

When attribute Cl is rent dijl is calculated by the fol-lowing three cases [41]

Case 1 when eil rjl the tenantrsquos Ti performance tolandlord Lj is neither a gain nor a lossCase 2 when eil ltpij lt rjl the tenantrsquos Ti performanceto landlord Lj is a loss e loss would be 1 minus (pijeil)Case 3 when eil gt rjl the tenantrsquos Ti performance tolandlord Lj is gain e gain is 1

When attribute Cl is not rent there are three forms ofrequirements Wang et al gave everyonersquos gains and lossesbased on expectations and the equation is as follows [42]

(1) When tenant Ti has a hard requirement of attributeCl hard constraints refer to covenants that must besatisfied by bundle conditions When the value of eil

is equal to the value of rjl tenant i and landlord J canbe matched When the value of eil is not equal to thevalue of rjl tenant Ti and landlord Lj cannot bematched en the equation for calculating dijl is asfollows

(2) When tenant Ti has a benefit requirement of attri-bute Cl the larger the attribute value of the benefit-type attribute the better dijl is calculated by thefollowing three cases

Case 1 when eil rjl the tenantrsquos Ti performanceto landlord Lj is neither a gain nor a loss underattribute Cl

Case 2 when eil lt rjl the tenantrsquos Ti performance tolandlord Lj is a gain under attribute Cl e gain isrjl minus eilCase 3 when eil gt rjl the tenantrsquos Ti performance tolandlord Lj is a loss under attribute Cl e loss isrjl minus eil

erefore when attribute Cl is a benefit requirementthe equation for calculating dijl is as follows

(3) When tenant Ti has a cost-type requirement of at-tribute Cl the lower the value of the cost attributethe better dijl is calculated by the following threecases

Similarly landlord Lj should consider whether thetenantrsquos Ti expected rent is within an acceptable range andmeets the requirements for the ORHrsquos area If Fl [aijl]mtimesn

and Vsl [vs

ijl]mtimesn and the perceived utility value of bothsupplier and the demander is determined by the disap-pointment and delight function φ(x) of Grant and Kajii [44]which can be expressed as [26]

φ(x) 1 minus αx xge 0

β(minus x) minus 1 xlt 01113896 (10)

α is the delight parameter satisfying 0lt αlt 1 while β isthe disappointment avoidance parameter satisfying 0lt βlt 1e larger α and β are the lower the subjectrsquos perceived valueof the matching results is compared to the expected value Inorder to facilitate calculation Laciana and Weber measuredthe beta value in accordance with most subject behavioralpreferences [45] 07le αle 09 07le βle 09 In this paper αand β take the same value erefore if α β 08 thenVb

323 Construction of Supply-Demand Matching ModelBased on the Perceived Utility Set xij represents a 0-1variable where xij 0 represents that tenant Ti and land-lord Lj do not match while xij 1 represents that tenant Ti

and landlord Lj match According to the comprehensiveperceived utility matrices V and Vprime under the requirementof stable matching the following two-objective optimizationmodel can be established to maximize the comprehensiveperceived utility of suppliers and demanders

Equations (15a) and (15b) are the objective functionsrespectively maximizing the sums of the perceived utilitiesof suppliers and demanders in the final matching resultEquations (15c) and (15d) are the requirements of two-sided matching Equation (15c) is an inequality require-ment because mle n which means that each tenant Ti canmatch at most one landlord Lj Equation (15d) is anequality constraint meaning that each landlord Lj can onlymatch one tenant Ti while equation (15e) is a hardrequirement

In order to realize the multiobjective optimizationmodel and maximize the overall matching degree betweensuppliers and demanders the linear weighting method canbe used to weigh equations (15a) and (15b) w1 and w2 arethe weights of Z1 and Z2 respectively to satisfy0lew1 w2 le 1 and w1 + w2 1 Considering the fairness ofthe suppliers and demanders this paper provides thatw1 w2 05 and the two-objective model (15a)ndash(15f ) canbe transformed into a single-objective optimization model(16a)ndash(16e)

324 Solution Procedure According to the above analysisthe proposed methodrsquos solution procedure for the multi-attribute ORH SADmatching decisionmodel is summarizedas follows

Step 1 collection selection and measurement ofShanghairsquos housing property SAD information from itsonline rental platforms using a web crawlerStep 2 calculation of the profit and loss matrices ofSAD based on equations (1)ndash(7)Step 3 calculation of the normative profit and lossmatrices of SAD based on equations (8) and (9)Step 4 calculation of the perceived utility matrix ofSAD based on equations (11) and (12)Step 5 calculation of the comprehensive perceivedutility matrix of SAD based on equations (13) and (14)followed by the conversion of the multiobjective op-timization model to a single-objective optimizationmodel based on the comprehensive perceived utilitymatrix in equations (15a)ndash(15f) and (16a)ndash(16e)Step 6 solving the optimization model in equations(16a)ndash(16e) to obtain the optimal matching pairs ofonline rental platformsrsquo SAD sides using a geneticalgorithm

33 Data and Measurements is section includes threesections First we introduce the background of the Shanghairental housing market and explain why it is suitable fortesting our study Second we introduce the data set which isfrom Shanghairsquos current online rental platforms ird weintroduce the selection and measurement of multiattributeindicators

331 Background of Shanghairsquos Rental Housing MarketShanghai is one of Chinarsquos four municipalities It is locatedin the east of China at the mouth of the Yangtze River and isthe leading city in the Yangtze River Economic Belt In 2017Shanghai was organized by 16 districts and counties asshown in Figure 3 including Huangpu Xuhui ChangningJingan Hongkou Yangpu Minhang Baoshang Jiading andPudong By the end of 2018 the total population of Shanghaihad reached 2424 million of which 976 million was thefloating population ranking the highest in the country

Since 1980 Chinarsquos housing market has been dominatedby sales while the rental market developed slowly Howeverwith the acceleration of Chinarsquos urbanization processmdashapowerful means of regulating urban real estate retaining theworking population and attracting new talentsmdashthe rental

housing market has become an important part of deepeningthe reform of the housing system and an important way toachieve the goal of improving urban residentsrsquo quality of lifeShanghai as Chinarsquos largest economic center city attracts alarge floating population Since 2011 Shanghairsquos permanentmigrant population has remained above 96 million per yearwhich accounts for more than 40 of the total residentpopulation as shown in Figure 4 is huge population sizehas resulted in an increase in living demands erefore thedevelopment of Shanghairsquos rental housing market requiresurgent attention

In July 2017 Chinarsquos Ministry of Housing and Con-struction and nine other departments jointly issued theldquoNotice on Accelerating the Development of Housing RentalMarket in Large- and Medium-sized Cities with Net Pop-ulation Inflowrdquo requiring large- andmedium-sized cities witha net inflow of population to set up government-backed rentalhousing service platforms erefore Shanghai now has apublic house leasing service platform In addition to thisShanghai has many private online leasing platforms in-cluding Lianjiacom Anjuke and Fangtianxia Many peopleuse these platforms to find listings Online platforms candisplay a variety of information about the listed propertysuch as the number of rooms the size of the property thedegree of decoration and the housing facilitiese platformsalso include some rent-seeking information which helpsmatch the SAD sideserefore Shanghai is a suitable samplefor testing the model constructed in this study

332 Data Collection Using the Python web crawlertechnology on May 13th 2019 we performed a crawlingexercise on 21762 articles from the current mainstreamonline rental platforms like Shanghairsquos housing leasingpublic service platform Anjuke Lianjia and Fangcom Atthe same time we collected 1739 and 929 rent-seekingmessages from 58com and Weibo respectively and ob-tained 1226 effective massages after manually deletingunrelated data e keywords used for detecting unrelateddata included ldquoI am an ownerrdquo ldquoI am an intermediaryrdquoldquocommercialrdquo ldquoshoprdquo ldquorent outrdquo ldquoofficerdquo and ldquoofficebuildingsrdquo e origins of the final data are spread across 15of Shanghairsquos 16 districts e workflow used to crawl rent-seeking information on 58com is shown in Figure 5According to the crawled rent-seeking information shown inTable 2 there is a high degree of similarity between thehousing attribute indicators considered by the potentialtenants e frequencies of the feature words related tohousing area decoration rental price appliances trans-portation and so on are relatively high Given thatShanghairsquos floating population has a relatively high demandfor rental housing and that the consideration factors arerelatively complete in the transaction it appears that thecollected rent-seeking information is adequately represen-tative with a strong reference for other cities as well

Although a word frequency analysis can reflect thepersonalized needs of the tenant by extracting high-fre-quency words it cannot reflect the connections between

those words However a semantic network analysis canvisually display the relationship between elements by con-structing a semantic relationship network map [49]erefore for this study we performed a text analysis of thecrawled information using ROSTCM6 software First thecrawled rent-seeking information was processed throughword segmentation Second the high-frequency words wereextracted and the meaningless words were filtered then theline feature words were extracted to generate VNA files andwe then imported them into NetDraw software to constructa co-occurrence matrix Finally the semantic relationshipnetwork map (shown in Figure 7) of the rent-seeking in-formation was generated As seen in Figure 7 ldquonearrdquo ldquorentrdquoldquodecorationrdquo ldquoappliancesrdquo and ldquosubwayrdquo are the centralnodes of the entire network reflecting the similarity of dif-ferent tenants in selecting online rental houses Compre-hensively tenants conduct a systematic investigation ofoverall quality when searching rental houses On the onehand in terms of location and proximity to transportationtenants share similar requirements reflected by the ldquosubwayrdquoldquotrafficrdquo and ldquonearrdquo nodes On the other hand in terms of theoverall quality of the houses tenants require properties withfacilities as reflected by the ldquoappliancesrdquo ldquofurniturerdquo andldquokitchenrdquo nodes In fact these characteristic words reflect thereal needs of tenants when choosing a rental house onlineHowever both SAD sides of ORH include institutions andorindividuals thus the transaction takes place between unfa-miliar entities In such a case the authenticity of housing andthe construction of the social credit system are significant forthe smooth operation of platforms [50] erefore this studyanalyzed the word cloud maps and semantic network mapsand finally selected seven attributes district traffic conve-nience rent living room house supporting facilities deco-ration and online ratings ese seven indicators of thecrawled listing and rent-seeking information were thenquantified separately as shown in Table 3

Step 6 the optimization model in equation (18) wassolved using a genetic algorithme derived matchingresults are shown in Table 20

As shown in Table 20 all tenants and landlords formedmatching pairs is not only shows matching results thatare satisfactory to both sidesmdashwith an overall satisfactionvalue of the matching results of Z 42374mdashbut also showsan improvement in matching efficiency at is the methodreduces matching costs and time for both SAD ereforethe SAD matching method for ORH proposed in this studycan provide reference to the multiattribute two-sidedmatching decision method and a basis for cracking the ORHSAD matching problem which is characterized by multi-agents and multilevel supply e rationality and effec-tiveness of this method given the multiple attributes ofhousing and both SAD sidesrsquo perceived utility have beenproved in matching the SAD of ORH

In this study a genetic algorithm is used to solve the finalmatching result of the model e population evolutioncurve of the genetic algorithm is shown in Figure 8 Asshown in the figure when the population evolves to 200generations the objective function value reaches the optimalvalue and overall stability In addition the total running timeof the algorithm is 878202 seconds which is very shortWhen the scale of the problem is large it is very feasible toapply genetic algorithms to solve the problem of matchingSAD of online rental housing

42 Discussion

421 Impact of the Weight of SAD During the transactionbetween the SAD sides the weights may not be fair whichmay cause the matching result to be inconsistent with theactual situation To further verify the rationality and com-prehensiveness of the algorithm we verified the weight ofthe SAD double from 0 to 1 respectively As shown inFigure 9 the overall satisfaction of the SAD sides increasedas the weight of the landlord increased but the opposite istrue for the tenants is may be because landlords havefewer housing attributes to consider during the transactionmatching process

422 Impact of the Number of SAD For online housingplatforms the number of SAD sides may be unequal and itmay be a situation where suppliers exceed demanderserefore to further verify the effectiveness of themodel andalgorithm we attempted to calculate a situation in which thesuppliers exceed demanders and added 5 pieces of rentalinformation for calculation It was found that when mle nthe overall satisfaction of both SAD sides became largerZ 43832 which was 01458 higher than the satisfactionvalue when m n is may be caused by some tenantsmatching with more suitable landlords making the satis-faction value higher e influence of the SAD quantities onthe overall satisfaction value Z is shown in Figure 10 Insummary this model is applicable in matching the supplyand demand of ORH

Overall from the analysis of the results the weightsoccupied by the SAD affected the overall satisfaction valuebut had no effect on the final matching result In additionthis model is applicable when the supply is equal to thedemand or the supply is greater than the demandis studyimproves the two-sided matching theory and extends it tothe online leasing market to provide matching efficiencybetween the SAD sides [1]

results Wang et al [36] used the min-max method and usesLINGO software to solve the matching scheme Althoughthis method is simple and easy to operate it is not suitablefor large-scale two-sided matching problems For the sat-isfaction of both SAD Haaimin [41] ignored the psycho-logical characteristics of misfortunes to avoid losses andmaximize advantages However the current multiattributetwo-sided matching decision model can maximize the sat-isfaction of SAD Meanwhile not only does the geneticalgorithm applied in this study solve the large-scale two-sided matching problem but also has a short running timewhich can quickly and effectively promote effectivematching between SAD

5 Conclusions and Implication

In this study an ORHmultiattribute SADmatching decisionmodel based on the perceived utility is constructed ismodel determines the multiattribute indicators and pro-portions of housing that both SAD sides are interested in Byconsidering the psychological expectations of both SAD inmeasuring the perceived utility values this model maximizesthe overall satisfaction of both SAD Finally using Shang-hairsquos online rental and demand information a genetic al-gorithm is used to numerically analyze and solve the modelwhich not only obtains optimal matching results but alsoproves that the genetic algorithm can solve a large two-sidedmatching problem is model enriches the application ofdouble-sided matching theory and provides a referencemethod for online rental SAD matching At the same timethis model considers that the psychological perceptions ofthe SAD sides can maximize their overall satisfaction andpromote the matching accuracy of the model

In the context of ldquoInternet +rdquo and big data the effectivematching of online rental lists is of great implication forpromoting the effective operation of the rental housingmarket In a theoretical sense this study enriches the re-search on rental housing with particular application forrental platforms providing a new perspective for the de-velopment of rental platforms In addition it can be appliedto the rental housing markets of other cities Objectively themodel improves the effective docking of SAD and improvesthe supply sidersquos efficiency Subjectively the enthusiasm forSAD interaction is realized erefore this study has areference basis for promoting the effective matching ofonline SAD and the improvement of satisfaction of bothSAD

As with any study the article at hand suffers from severallimitations that are worth considering in further researchFirstly the method proposed in this study improves theoverall matching between the SAD but it needs to be furthercompared with other decision-making methods Such as inthe future we will further study to compare it with othermethods that actually produce results Second because theeconomic and social backgrounds of each SAD subject aredifferent the characteristic variables of the SAD matchingdecision model in different cities may be different In thefuture we will adjust the multiattribute equations andquantitative standards according to the characteristics of

different cities In addition the actual practice results shouldbe used to verify the SAD matching decision model indifferent cities to promote the sustainable development ofthe rental housing market

Furthermore in the transaction process of the ORHplatforms the multiattribute expectations of both partiesshould be considered Regardless of the tenants or landlordseach subject considers their own subjectrsquos interests based onmultiple values which will directly or indirectly reflect theexpected value of the property Moreover the supply side ofthe rental housing market should increase the informationsymmetry of SAD subjects to ensure that the information istransparent and open and that the transaction process isstandardized guaranteeing easy access to information forboth parties

otherwise losses occur e above benefits and losses arequantified as follows

If Dl [dijl]mtimesn is the profit and loss matrix of tenant Ti

under attribute Cl then dijl is the profit or loss of landlord Lj

under attribute Cl Considering that tenant Ti will putforward different requirements according to their own ex-pectations dijl is calculated as follows

When attribute Cl is rent in order to ensure the fairnessof online transactions the transaction rent is set to themiddle value of the tenantsrsquo expected rent and the landlordsrsquoLj expected rent and the calculation equation of thetransaction rents pij and dijl are as follows

pij rjl + eil

When attribute Cl is rent dijl is calculated by the fol-lowing three cases [41]

Case 1 when eil rjl the tenantrsquos Ti performance tolandlord Lj is neither a gain nor a lossCase 2 when eil ltpij lt rjl the tenantrsquos Ti performanceto landlord Lj is a loss e loss would be 1 minus (pijeil)Case 3 when eil gt rjl the tenantrsquos Ti performance tolandlord Lj is gain e gain is 1

When attribute Cl is not rent there are three forms ofrequirements Wang et al gave everyonersquos gains and lossesbased on expectations and the equation is as follows [42]

(1) When tenant Ti has a hard requirement of attributeCl hard constraints refer to covenants that must besatisfied by bundle conditions When the value of eil

is equal to the value of rjl tenant i and landlord J canbe matched When the value of eil is not equal to thevalue of rjl tenant Ti and landlord Lj cannot bematched en the equation for calculating dijl is asfollows

(2) When tenant Ti has a benefit requirement of attri-bute Cl the larger the attribute value of the benefit-type attribute the better dijl is calculated by thefollowing three cases

Case 1 when eil rjl the tenantrsquos Ti performanceto landlord Lj is neither a gain nor a loss underattribute Cl

Case 2 when eil lt rjl the tenantrsquos Ti performance tolandlord Lj is a gain under attribute Cl e gain isrjl minus eilCase 3 when eil gt rjl the tenantrsquos Ti performance tolandlord Lj is a loss under attribute Cl e loss isrjl minus eil

erefore when attribute Cl is a benefit requirementthe equation for calculating dijl is as follows

(3) When tenant Ti has a cost-type requirement of at-tribute Cl the lower the value of the cost attributethe better dijl is calculated by the following threecases

Similarly landlord Lj should consider whether thetenantrsquos Ti expected rent is within an acceptable range andmeets the requirements for the ORHrsquos area If Fl [aijl]mtimesn

323 Construction of Supply-Demand Matching ModelBased on the Perceived Utility Set xij represents a 0-1variable where xij 0 represents that tenant Ti and land-lord Lj do not match while xij 1 represents that tenant Ti

and landlord Lj match According to the comprehensiveperceived utility matrices V and Vprime under the requirementof stable matching the following two-objective optimizationmodel can be established to maximize the comprehensiveperceived utility of suppliers and demanders

Equations (15a) and (15b) are the objective functionsrespectively maximizing the sums of the perceived utilitiesof suppliers and demanders in the final matching resultEquations (15c) and (15d) are the requirements of two-sided matching Equation (15c) is an inequality require-ment because mle n which means that each tenant Ti canmatch at most one landlord Lj Equation (15d) is anequality constraint meaning that each landlord Lj can onlymatch one tenant Ti while equation (15e) is a hardrequirement

In order to realize the multiobjective optimizationmodel and maximize the overall matching degree betweensuppliers and demanders the linear weighting method canbe used to weigh equations (15a) and (15b) w1 and w2 arethe weights of Z1 and Z2 respectively to satisfy0lew1 w2 le 1 and w1 + w2 1 Considering the fairness ofthe suppliers and demanders this paper provides thatw1 w2 05 and the two-objective model (15a)ndash(15f ) canbe transformed into a single-objective optimization model(16a)ndash(16e)

324 Solution Procedure According to the above analysisthe proposed methodrsquos solution procedure for the multi-attribute ORH SADmatching decisionmodel is summarizedas follows

Step 1 collection selection and measurement ofShanghairsquos housing property SAD information from itsonline rental platforms using a web crawlerStep 2 calculation of the profit and loss matrices ofSAD based on equations (1)ndash(7)Step 3 calculation of the normative profit and lossmatrices of SAD based on equations (8) and (9)Step 4 calculation of the perceived utility matrix ofSAD based on equations (11) and (12)Step 5 calculation of the comprehensive perceivedutility matrix of SAD based on equations (13) and (14)followed by the conversion of the multiobjective op-timization model to a single-objective optimizationmodel based on the comprehensive perceived utilitymatrix in equations (15a)ndash(15f) and (16a)ndash(16e)Step 6 solving the optimization model in equations(16a)ndash(16e) to obtain the optimal matching pairs ofonline rental platformsrsquo SAD sides using a geneticalgorithm

33 Data and Measurements is section includes threesections First we introduce the background of the Shanghairental housing market and explain why it is suitable fortesting our study Second we introduce the data set which isfrom Shanghairsquos current online rental platforms ird weintroduce the selection and measurement of multiattributeindicators

331 Background of Shanghairsquos Rental Housing MarketShanghai is one of Chinarsquos four municipalities It is locatedin the east of China at the mouth of the Yangtze River and isthe leading city in the Yangtze River Economic Belt In 2017Shanghai was organized by 16 districts and counties asshown in Figure 3 including Huangpu Xuhui ChangningJingan Hongkou Yangpu Minhang Baoshang Jiading andPudong By the end of 2018 the total population of Shanghaihad reached 2424 million of which 976 million was thefloating population ranking the highest in the country

Since 1980 Chinarsquos housing market has been dominatedby sales while the rental market developed slowly Howeverwith the acceleration of Chinarsquos urbanization processmdashapowerful means of regulating urban real estate retaining theworking population and attracting new talentsmdashthe rental

housing market has become an important part of deepeningthe reform of the housing system and an important way toachieve the goal of improving urban residentsrsquo quality of lifeShanghai as Chinarsquos largest economic center city attracts alarge floating population Since 2011 Shanghairsquos permanentmigrant population has remained above 96 million per yearwhich accounts for more than 40 of the total residentpopulation as shown in Figure 4 is huge population sizehas resulted in an increase in living demands erefore thedevelopment of Shanghairsquos rental housing market requiresurgent attention

In July 2017 Chinarsquos Ministry of Housing and Con-struction and nine other departments jointly issued theldquoNotice on Accelerating the Development of Housing RentalMarket in Large- and Medium-sized Cities with Net Pop-ulation Inflowrdquo requiring large- andmedium-sized cities witha net inflow of population to set up government-backed rentalhousing service platforms erefore Shanghai now has apublic house leasing service platform In addition to thisShanghai has many private online leasing platforms in-cluding Lianjiacom Anjuke and Fangtianxia Many peopleuse these platforms to find listings Online platforms candisplay a variety of information about the listed propertysuch as the number of rooms the size of the property thedegree of decoration and the housing facilitiese platformsalso include some rent-seeking information which helpsmatch the SAD sideserefore Shanghai is a suitable samplefor testing the model constructed in this study

332 Data Collection Using the Python web crawlertechnology on May 13th 2019 we performed a crawlingexercise on 21762 articles from the current mainstreamonline rental platforms like Shanghairsquos housing leasingpublic service platform Anjuke Lianjia and Fangcom Atthe same time we collected 1739 and 929 rent-seekingmessages from 58com and Weibo respectively and ob-tained 1226 effective massages after manually deletingunrelated data e keywords used for detecting unrelateddata included ldquoI am an ownerrdquo ldquoI am an intermediaryrdquoldquocommercialrdquo ldquoshoprdquo ldquorent outrdquo ldquoofficerdquo and ldquoofficebuildingsrdquo e origins of the final data are spread across 15of Shanghairsquos 16 districts e workflow used to crawl rent-seeking information on 58com is shown in Figure 5According to the crawled rent-seeking information shown inTable 2 there is a high degree of similarity between thehousing attribute indicators considered by the potentialtenants e frequencies of the feature words related tohousing area decoration rental price appliances trans-portation and so on are relatively high Given thatShanghairsquos floating population has a relatively high demandfor rental housing and that the consideration factors arerelatively complete in the transaction it appears that thecollected rent-seeking information is adequately represen-tative with a strong reference for other cities as well

333 Selection and Measurements of MultiattributeIndicators Word frequency can reflect the importance of aword in different contexts or expressions e higher the

Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society 9

word frequency the more important it is With the afore-mentioned Python crawled rent-seeking messages from theldquoPersonalized needsrdquo page of 58com and the commentsfrom Weiborsquos ldquoShanghai Rent-seekingrdquo page this paperemploys a word cloud to display the top 50 words related toproperty characteristics (shown in Figure 6) e top three

words are ldquonearrdquo ldquorentrdquo and ldquodecorationrdquo followed byldquosubwayrdquo ldquofurniturerdquo ldquohome appliancesrdquo and ldquosingle roomrdquoe search term ldquoNearrdquo reflects the requirements of thehousing location while ldquoSubwayrdquo indicates a requirement forproximity to public transportatione characteristic value ofldquorentrdquo reflects the demand for renting a house ldquoRoomrdquo

Although a word frequency analysis can reflect thepersonalized needs of the tenant by extracting high-fre-quency words it cannot reflect the connections between

those words However a semantic network analysis canvisually display the relationship between elements by con-structing a semantic relationship network map [49]erefore for this study we performed a text analysis of thecrawled information using ROSTCM6 software First thecrawled rent-seeking information was processed throughword segmentation Second the high-frequency words wereextracted and the meaningless words were filtered then theline feature words were extracted to generate VNA files andwe then imported them into NetDraw software to constructa co-occurrence matrix Finally the semantic relationshipnetwork map (shown in Figure 7) of the rent-seeking in-formation was generated As seen in Figure 7 ldquonearrdquo ldquorentrdquoldquodecorationrdquo ldquoappliancesrdquo and ldquosubwayrdquo are the centralnodes of the entire network reflecting the similarity of dif-ferent tenants in selecting online rental houses Compre-hensively tenants conduct a systematic investigation ofoverall quality when searching rental houses On the onehand in terms of location and proximity to transportationtenants share similar requirements reflected by the ldquosubwayrdquoldquotrafficrdquo and ldquonearrdquo nodes On the other hand in terms of theoverall quality of the houses tenants require properties withfacilities as reflected by the ldquoappliancesrdquo ldquofurniturerdquo andldquokitchenrdquo nodes In fact these characteristic words reflect thereal needs of tenants when choosing a rental house onlineHowever both SAD sides of ORH include institutions andorindividuals thus the transaction takes place between unfa-miliar entities In such a case the authenticity of housing andthe construction of the social credit system are significant forthe smooth operation of platforms [50] erefore this studyanalyzed the word cloud maps and semantic network mapsand finally selected seven attributes district traffic conve-nience rent living room house supporting facilities deco-ration and online ratings ese seven indicators of thecrawled listing and rent-seeking information were thenquantified separately as shown in Table 3

Step 6 the optimization model in equation (18) wassolved using a genetic algorithme derived matchingresults are shown in Table 20

As shown in Table 20 all tenants and landlords formedmatching pairs is not only shows matching results thatare satisfactory to both sidesmdashwith an overall satisfactionvalue of the matching results of Z 42374mdashbut also showsan improvement in matching efficiency at is the methodreduces matching costs and time for both SAD ereforethe SAD matching method for ORH proposed in this studycan provide reference to the multiattribute two-sidedmatching decision method and a basis for cracking the ORHSAD matching problem which is characterized by multi-agents and multilevel supply e rationality and effec-tiveness of this method given the multiple attributes ofhousing and both SAD sidesrsquo perceived utility have beenproved in matching the SAD of ORH

In this study a genetic algorithm is used to solve the finalmatching result of the model e population evolutioncurve of the genetic algorithm is shown in Figure 8 Asshown in the figure when the population evolves to 200generations the objective function value reaches the optimalvalue and overall stability In addition the total running timeof the algorithm is 878202 seconds which is very shortWhen the scale of the problem is large it is very feasible toapply genetic algorithms to solve the problem of matchingSAD of online rental housing

42 Discussion

421 Impact of the Weight of SAD During the transactionbetween the SAD sides the weights may not be fair whichmay cause the matching result to be inconsistent with theactual situation To further verify the rationality and com-prehensiveness of the algorithm we verified the weight ofthe SAD double from 0 to 1 respectively As shown inFigure 9 the overall satisfaction of the SAD sides increasedas the weight of the landlord increased but the opposite istrue for the tenants is may be because landlords havefewer housing attributes to consider during the transactionmatching process

422 Impact of the Number of SAD For online housingplatforms the number of SAD sides may be unequal and itmay be a situation where suppliers exceed demanderserefore to further verify the effectiveness of themodel andalgorithm we attempted to calculate a situation in which thesuppliers exceed demanders and added 5 pieces of rentalinformation for calculation It was found that when mle nthe overall satisfaction of both SAD sides became largerZ 43832 which was 01458 higher than the satisfactionvalue when m n is may be caused by some tenantsmatching with more suitable landlords making the satis-faction value higher e influence of the SAD quantities onthe overall satisfaction value Z is shown in Figure 10 Insummary this model is applicable in matching the supplyand demand of ORH

Overall from the analysis of the results the weightsoccupied by the SAD affected the overall satisfaction valuebut had no effect on the final matching result In additionthis model is applicable when the supply is equal to thedemand or the supply is greater than the demandis studyimproves the two-sided matching theory and extends it tothe online leasing market to provide matching efficiencybetween the SAD sides [1]

423 Comparison with Other Methods e method pro-posed in this study may have some differences comparedwith other methodsWith regard to model application someliterature studies have applied matching methods to fieldssuch as hospital diagnosis carpool matching job and per-sonnel matching electronic market matching electric powerretailer and buyer matching and technology marketmatching However application in the rental housingmarket is limited From the perspective of model quantifi-cation methods some scholars quantify the satisfactionvalues of the SAD based on fuzzy sets triangular intui-tionistic fuzzy numbers and gray correlation analysis butthese methods do not consider the psychological behavior ofparticipants erefore we quantify the perceived utilityvalue of the SAD sides based on the disappointment theorystarting from the perceptions of the SAD sides which are

In this study an ORHmultiattribute SADmatching decisionmodel based on the perceived utility is constructed ismodel determines the multiattribute indicators and pro-portions of housing that both SAD sides are interested in Byconsidering the psychological expectations of both SAD inmeasuring the perceived utility values this model maximizesthe overall satisfaction of both SAD Finally using Shang-hairsquos online rental and demand information a genetic al-gorithm is used to numerically analyze and solve the modelwhich not only obtains optimal matching results but alsoproves that the genetic algorithm can solve a large two-sidedmatching problem is model enriches the application ofdouble-sided matching theory and provides a referencemethod for online rental SAD matching At the same timethis model considers that the psychological perceptions ofthe SAD sides can maximize their overall satisfaction andpromote the matching accuracy of the model

In the context of ldquoInternet +rdquo and big data the effectivematching of online rental lists is of great implication forpromoting the effective operation of the rental housingmarket In a theoretical sense this study enriches the re-search on rental housing with particular application forrental platforms providing a new perspective for the de-velopment of rental platforms In addition it can be appliedto the rental housing markets of other cities Objectively themodel improves the effective docking of SAD and improvesthe supply sidersquos efficiency Subjectively the enthusiasm forSAD interaction is realized erefore this study has areference basis for promoting the effective matching ofonline SAD and the improvement of satisfaction of bothSAD

As with any study the article at hand suffers from severallimitations that are worth considering in further researchFirstly the method proposed in this study improves theoverall matching between the SAD but it needs to be furthercompared with other decision-making methods Such as inthe future we will further study to compare it with othermethods that actually produce results Second because theeconomic and social backgrounds of each SAD subject aredifferent the characteristic variables of the SAD matchingdecision model in different cities may be different In thefuture we will adjust the multiattribute equations andquantitative standards according to the characteristics of

different cities In addition the actual practice results shouldbe used to verify the SAD matching decision model indifferent cities to promote the sustainable development ofthe rental housing market

Furthermore in the transaction process of the ORHplatforms the multiattribute expectations of both partiesshould be considered Regardless of the tenants or landlordseach subject considers their own subjectrsquos interests based onmultiple values which will directly or indirectly reflect theexpected value of the property Moreover the supply side ofthe rental housing market should increase the informationsymmetry of SAD subjects to ensure that the information istransparent and open and that the transaction process isstandardized guaranteeing easy access to information forboth parties

If Dl [dijl]mtimesn is the profit and loss matrix of tenant Ti

under attribute Cl then dijl is the profit or loss of landlord Lj

under attribute Cl Considering that tenant Ti will putforward different requirements according to their own ex-pectations dijl is calculated as follows

When attribute Cl is rent in order to ensure the fairnessof online transactions the transaction rent is set to themiddle value of the tenantsrsquo expected rent and the landlordsrsquoLj expected rent and the calculation equation of thetransaction rents pij and dijl are as follows

When attribute Cl is rent dijl is calculated by the fol-lowing three cases [41]

Case 1 when eil rjl the tenantrsquos Ti performance tolandlord Lj is neither a gain nor a lossCase 2 when eil ltpij lt rjl the tenantrsquos Ti performanceto landlord Lj is a loss e loss would be 1 minus (pijeil)Case 3 when eil gt rjl the tenantrsquos Ti performance tolandlord Lj is gain e gain is 1

When attribute Cl is not rent there are three forms ofrequirements Wang et al gave everyonersquos gains and lossesbased on expectations and the equation is as follows [42]

(1) When tenant Ti has a hard requirement of attributeCl hard constraints refer to covenants that must besatisfied by bundle conditions When the value of eil

(2) When tenant Ti has a benefit requirement of attri-bute Cl the larger the attribute value of the benefit-type attribute the better dijl is calculated by thefollowing three cases

Case 2 when eil lt rjl the tenantrsquos Ti performance tolandlord Lj is a gain under attribute Cl e gain isrjl minus eilCase 3 when eil gt rjl the tenantrsquos Ti performance tolandlord Lj is a loss under attribute Cl e loss isrjl minus eil

323 Construction of Supply-Demand Matching ModelBased on the Perceived Utility Set xij represents a 0-1variable where xij 0 represents that tenant Ti and land-lord Lj do not match while xij 1 represents that tenant Ti

Equations (15a) and (15b) are the objective functionsrespectively maximizing the sums of the perceived utilitiesof suppliers and demanders in the final matching resultEquations (15c) and (15d) are the requirements of two-sided matching Equation (15c) is an inequality require-ment because mle n which means that each tenant Ti canmatch at most one landlord Lj Equation (15d) is anequality constraint meaning that each landlord Lj can onlymatch one tenant Ti while equation (15e) is a hardrequirement

324 Solution Procedure According to the above analysisthe proposed methodrsquos solution procedure for the multi-attribute ORH SADmatching decisionmodel is summarizedas follows

Step 1 collection selection and measurement ofShanghairsquos housing property SAD information from itsonline rental platforms using a web crawlerStep 2 calculation of the profit and loss matrices ofSAD based on equations (1)ndash(7)Step 3 calculation of the normative profit and lossmatrices of SAD based on equations (8) and (9)Step 4 calculation of the perceived utility matrix ofSAD based on equations (11) and (12)Step 5 calculation of the comprehensive perceivedutility matrix of SAD based on equations (13) and (14)followed by the conversion of the multiobjective op-timization model to a single-objective optimizationmodel based on the comprehensive perceived utilitymatrix in equations (15a)ndash(15f) and (16a)ndash(16e)Step 6 solving the optimization model in equations(16a)ndash(16e) to obtain the optimal matching pairs ofonline rental platformsrsquo SAD sides using a geneticalgorithm

33 Data and Measurements is section includes threesections First we introduce the background of the Shanghairental housing market and explain why it is suitable fortesting our study Second we introduce the data set which isfrom Shanghairsquos current online rental platforms ird weintroduce the selection and measurement of multiattributeindicators

331 Background of Shanghairsquos Rental Housing MarketShanghai is one of Chinarsquos four municipalities It is locatedin the east of China at the mouth of the Yangtze River and isthe leading city in the Yangtze River Economic Belt In 2017Shanghai was organized by 16 districts and counties asshown in Figure 3 including Huangpu Xuhui ChangningJingan Hongkou Yangpu Minhang Baoshang Jiading andPudong By the end of 2018 the total population of Shanghaihad reached 2424 million of which 976 million was thefloating population ranking the highest in the country

Since 1980 Chinarsquos housing market has been dominatedby sales while the rental market developed slowly Howeverwith the acceleration of Chinarsquos urbanization processmdashapowerful means of regulating urban real estate retaining theworking population and attracting new talentsmdashthe rental

housing market has become an important part of deepeningthe reform of the housing system and an important way toachieve the goal of improving urban residentsrsquo quality of lifeShanghai as Chinarsquos largest economic center city attracts alarge floating population Since 2011 Shanghairsquos permanentmigrant population has remained above 96 million per yearwhich accounts for more than 40 of the total residentpopulation as shown in Figure 4 is huge population sizehas resulted in an increase in living demands erefore thedevelopment of Shanghairsquos rental housing market requiresurgent attention

In July 2017 Chinarsquos Ministry of Housing and Con-struction and nine other departments jointly issued theldquoNotice on Accelerating the Development of Housing RentalMarket in Large- and Medium-sized Cities with Net Pop-ulation Inflowrdquo requiring large- andmedium-sized cities witha net inflow of population to set up government-backed rentalhousing service platforms erefore Shanghai now has apublic house leasing service platform In addition to thisShanghai has many private online leasing platforms in-cluding Lianjiacom Anjuke and Fangtianxia Many peopleuse these platforms to find listings Online platforms candisplay a variety of information about the listed propertysuch as the number of rooms the size of the property thedegree of decoration and the housing facilitiese platformsalso include some rent-seeking information which helpsmatch the SAD sideserefore Shanghai is a suitable samplefor testing the model constructed in this study

332 Data Collection Using the Python web crawlertechnology on May 13th 2019 we performed a crawlingexercise on 21762 articles from the current mainstreamonline rental platforms like Shanghairsquos housing leasingpublic service platform Anjuke Lianjia and Fangcom Atthe same time we collected 1739 and 929 rent-seekingmessages from 58com and Weibo respectively and ob-tained 1226 effective massages after manually deletingunrelated data e keywords used for detecting unrelateddata included ldquoI am an ownerrdquo ldquoI am an intermediaryrdquoldquocommercialrdquo ldquoshoprdquo ldquorent outrdquo ldquoofficerdquo and ldquoofficebuildingsrdquo e origins of the final data are spread across 15of Shanghairsquos 16 districts e workflow used to crawl rent-seeking information on 58com is shown in Figure 5According to the crawled rent-seeking information shown inTable 2 there is a high degree of similarity between thehousing attribute indicators considered by the potentialtenants e frequencies of the feature words related tohousing area decoration rental price appliances trans-portation and so on are relatively high Given thatShanghairsquos floating population has a relatively high demandfor rental housing and that the consideration factors arerelatively complete in the transaction it appears that thecollected rent-seeking information is adequately represen-tative with a strong reference for other cities as well

Although a word frequency analysis can reflect thepersonalized needs of the tenant by extracting high-fre-quency words it cannot reflect the connections between

those words However a semantic network analysis canvisually display the relationship between elements by con-structing a semantic relationship network map [49]erefore for this study we performed a text analysis of thecrawled information using ROSTCM6 software First thecrawled rent-seeking information was processed throughword segmentation Second the high-frequency words wereextracted and the meaningless words were filtered then theline feature words were extracted to generate VNA files andwe then imported them into NetDraw software to constructa co-occurrence matrix Finally the semantic relationshipnetwork map (shown in Figure 7) of the rent-seeking in-formation was generated As seen in Figure 7 ldquonearrdquo ldquorentrdquoldquodecorationrdquo ldquoappliancesrdquo and ldquosubwayrdquo are the centralnodes of the entire network reflecting the similarity of dif-ferent tenants in selecting online rental houses Compre-hensively tenants conduct a systematic investigation ofoverall quality when searching rental houses On the onehand in terms of location and proximity to transportationtenants share similar requirements reflected by the ldquosubwayrdquoldquotrafficrdquo and ldquonearrdquo nodes On the other hand in terms of theoverall quality of the houses tenants require properties withfacilities as reflected by the ldquoappliancesrdquo ldquofurniturerdquo andldquokitchenrdquo nodes In fact these characteristic words reflect thereal needs of tenants when choosing a rental house onlineHowever both SAD sides of ORH include institutions andorindividuals thus the transaction takes place between unfa-miliar entities In such a case the authenticity of housing andthe construction of the social credit system are significant forthe smooth operation of platforms [50] erefore this studyanalyzed the word cloud maps and semantic network mapsand finally selected seven attributes district traffic conve-nience rent living room house supporting facilities deco-ration and online ratings ese seven indicators of thecrawled listing and rent-seeking information were thenquantified separately as shown in Table 3

Step 6 the optimization model in equation (18) wassolved using a genetic algorithme derived matchingresults are shown in Table 20

As shown in Table 20 all tenants and landlords formedmatching pairs is not only shows matching results thatare satisfactory to both sidesmdashwith an overall satisfactionvalue of the matching results of Z 42374mdashbut also showsan improvement in matching efficiency at is the methodreduces matching costs and time for both SAD ereforethe SAD matching method for ORH proposed in this studycan provide reference to the multiattribute two-sidedmatching decision method and a basis for cracking the ORHSAD matching problem which is characterized by multi-agents and multilevel supply e rationality and effec-tiveness of this method given the multiple attributes ofhousing and both SAD sidesrsquo perceived utility have beenproved in matching the SAD of ORH

In this study a genetic algorithm is used to solve the finalmatching result of the model e population evolutioncurve of the genetic algorithm is shown in Figure 8 Asshown in the figure when the population evolves to 200generations the objective function value reaches the optimalvalue and overall stability In addition the total running timeof the algorithm is 878202 seconds which is very shortWhen the scale of the problem is large it is very feasible toapply genetic algorithms to solve the problem of matchingSAD of online rental housing

42 Discussion

421 Impact of the Weight of SAD During the transactionbetween the SAD sides the weights may not be fair whichmay cause the matching result to be inconsistent with theactual situation To further verify the rationality and com-prehensiveness of the algorithm we verified the weight ofthe SAD double from 0 to 1 respectively As shown inFigure 9 the overall satisfaction of the SAD sides increasedas the weight of the landlord increased but the opposite istrue for the tenants is may be because landlords havefewer housing attributes to consider during the transactionmatching process

422 Impact of the Number of SAD For online housingplatforms the number of SAD sides may be unequal and itmay be a situation where suppliers exceed demanderserefore to further verify the effectiveness of themodel andalgorithm we attempted to calculate a situation in which thesuppliers exceed demanders and added 5 pieces of rentalinformation for calculation It was found that when mle nthe overall satisfaction of both SAD sides became largerZ 43832 which was 01458 higher than the satisfactionvalue when m n is may be caused by some tenantsmatching with more suitable landlords making the satis-faction value higher e influence of the SAD quantities onthe overall satisfaction value Z is shown in Figure 10 Insummary this model is applicable in matching the supplyand demand of ORH

Overall from the analysis of the results the weightsoccupied by the SAD affected the overall satisfaction valuebut had no effect on the final matching result In additionthis model is applicable when the supply is equal to thedemand or the supply is greater than the demandis studyimproves the two-sided matching theory and extends it tothe online leasing market to provide matching efficiencybetween the SAD sides [1]

423 Comparison with Other Methods e method pro-posed in this study may have some differences comparedwith other methodsWith regard to model application someliterature studies have applied matching methods to fieldssuch as hospital diagnosis carpool matching job and per-sonnel matching electronic market matching electric powerretailer and buyer matching and technology marketmatching However application in the rental housingmarket is limited From the perspective of model quantifi-cation methods some scholars quantify the satisfactionvalues of the SAD based on fuzzy sets triangular intui-tionistic fuzzy numbers and gray correlation analysis butthese methods do not consider the psychological behavior ofparticipants erefore we quantify the perceived utilityvalue of the SAD sides based on the disappointment theorystarting from the perceptions of the SAD sides which are

results Wang et al [36] used the min-max method and usesLINGO software to solve the matching scheme Althoughthis method is simple and easy to operate it is not suitablefor large-scale two-sided matching problems For the sat-isfaction of both SAD Haaimin [41] ignored the psycho-logical characteristics of misfortunes to avoid losses andmaximize advantages However the current multiattributetwo-sided matching decision model can maximize the sat-isfaction of SAD Meanwhile not only does the geneticalgorithm applied in this study solve the large-scale two-sided matching problem but also has a short running timewhich can quickly and effectively promote effectivematching between SAD

5 Conclusions and Implication

In this study an ORHmultiattribute SADmatching decisionmodel based on the perceived utility is constructed ismodel determines the multiattribute indicators and pro-portions of housing that both SAD sides are interested in Byconsidering the psychological expectations of both SAD inmeasuring the perceived utility values this model maximizesthe overall satisfaction of both SAD Finally using Shang-hairsquos online rental and demand information a genetic al-gorithm is used to numerically analyze and solve the modelwhich not only obtains optimal matching results but alsoproves that the genetic algorithm can solve a large two-sidedmatching problem is model enriches the application ofdouble-sided matching theory and provides a referencemethod for online rental SAD matching At the same timethis model considers that the psychological perceptions ofthe SAD sides can maximize their overall satisfaction andpromote the matching accuracy of the model

In the context of ldquoInternet +rdquo and big data the effectivematching of online rental lists is of great implication forpromoting the effective operation of the rental housingmarket In a theoretical sense this study enriches the re-search on rental housing with particular application forrental platforms providing a new perspective for the de-velopment of rental platforms In addition it can be appliedto the rental housing markets of other cities Objectively themodel improves the effective docking of SAD and improvesthe supply sidersquos efficiency Subjectively the enthusiasm forSAD interaction is realized erefore this study has areference basis for promoting the effective matching ofonline SAD and the improvement of satisfaction of bothSAD

As with any study the article at hand suffers from severallimitations that are worth considering in further researchFirstly the method proposed in this study improves theoverall matching between the SAD but it needs to be furthercompared with other decision-making methods Such as inthe future we will further study to compare it with othermethods that actually produce results Second because theeconomic and social backgrounds of each SAD subject aredifferent the characteristic variables of the SAD matchingdecision model in different cities may be different In thefuture we will adjust the multiattribute equations andquantitative standards according to the characteristics of

different cities In addition the actual practice results shouldbe used to verify the SAD matching decision model indifferent cities to promote the sustainable development ofthe rental housing market

Furthermore in the transaction process of the ORHplatforms the multiattribute expectations of both partiesshould be considered Regardless of the tenants or landlordseach subject considers their own subjectrsquos interests based onmultiple values which will directly or indirectly reflect theexpected value of the property Moreover the supply side ofthe rental housing market should increase the informationsymmetry of SAD subjects to ensure that the information istransparent and open and that the transaction process isstandardized guaranteeing easy access to information forboth parties

otherwise losses occur e above benefits and losses arequantified as follows

If Dl [dijl]mtimesn is the profit and loss matrix of tenant Ti

under attribute Cl then dijl is the profit or loss of landlord Lj

under attribute Cl Considering that tenant Ti will putforward different requirements according to their own ex-pectations dijl is calculated as follows

When attribute Cl is rent in order to ensure the fairnessof online transactions the transaction rent is set to themiddle value of the tenantsrsquo expected rent and the landlordsrsquoLj expected rent and the calculation equation of thetransaction rents pij and dijl are as follows

When attribute Cl is rent dijl is calculated by the fol-lowing three cases [41]

Case 1 when eil rjl the tenantrsquos Ti performance tolandlord Lj is neither a gain nor a lossCase 2 when eil ltpij lt rjl the tenantrsquos Ti performanceto landlord Lj is a loss e loss would be 1 minus (pijeil)Case 3 when eil gt rjl the tenantrsquos Ti performance tolandlord Lj is gain e gain is 1

When attribute Cl is not rent there are three forms ofrequirements Wang et al gave everyonersquos gains and lossesbased on expectations and the equation is as follows [42]

(1) When tenant Ti has a hard requirement of attributeCl hard constraints refer to covenants that must besatisfied by bundle conditions When the value of eil

is equal to the value of rjl tenant i and landlord J canbe matched When the value of eil is not equal to thevalue of rjl tenant Ti and landlord Lj cannot bematched en the equation for calculating dijl is asfollows

dijl 1 rjl eil

(2) When tenant Ti has a benefit requirement of attri-bute Cl the larger the attribute value of the benefit-type attribute the better dijl is calculated by thefollowing three cases

Case 1 when eil rjl the tenantrsquos Ti performanceto landlord Lj is neither a gain nor a loss underattribute Cl

Case 2 when eil lt rjl the tenantrsquos Ti performance tolandlord Lj is a gain under attribute Cl e gain isrjl minus eilCase 3 when eil gt rjl the tenantrsquos Ti performance tolandlord Lj is a loss under attribute Cl e loss isrjl minus eil

erefore when attribute Cl is a benefit requirementthe equation for calculating dijl is as follows

(3) When tenant Ti has a cost-type requirement of at-tribute Cl the lower the value of the cost attributethe better dijl is calculated by the following threecases

Similarly landlord Lj should consider whether thetenantrsquos Ti expected rent is within an acceptable range andmeets the requirements for the ORHrsquos area If Fl [aijl]mtimesn

323 Construction of Supply-Demand Matching ModelBased on the Perceived Utility Set xij represents a 0-1variable where xij 0 represents that tenant Ti and land-lord Lj do not match while xij 1 represents that tenant Ti

and landlord Lj match According to the comprehensiveperceived utility matrices V and Vprime under the requirementof stable matching the following two-objective optimizationmodel can be established to maximize the comprehensiveperceived utility of suppliers and demanders

Equations (15a) and (15b) are the objective functionsrespectively maximizing the sums of the perceived utilitiesof suppliers and demanders in the final matching resultEquations (15c) and (15d) are the requirements of two-sided matching Equation (15c) is an inequality require-ment because mle n which means that each tenant Ti canmatch at most one landlord Lj Equation (15d) is anequality constraint meaning that each landlord Lj can onlymatch one tenant Ti while equation (15e) is a hardrequirement

In order to realize the multiobjective optimizationmodel and maximize the overall matching degree betweensuppliers and demanders the linear weighting method canbe used to weigh equations (15a) and (15b) w1 and w2 arethe weights of Z1 and Z2 respectively to satisfy0lew1 w2 le 1 and w1 + w2 1 Considering the fairness ofthe suppliers and demanders this paper provides thatw1 w2 05 and the two-objective model (15a)ndash(15f ) canbe transformed into a single-objective optimization model(16a)ndash(16e)

Step 1 collection selection and measurement ofShanghairsquos housing property SAD information from itsonline rental platforms using a web crawlerStep 2 calculation of the profit and loss matrices ofSAD based on equations (1)ndash(7)Step 3 calculation of the normative profit and lossmatrices of SAD based on equations (8) and (9)Step 4 calculation of the perceived utility matrix ofSAD based on equations (11) and (12)Step 5 calculation of the comprehensive perceivedutility matrix of SAD based on equations (13) and (14)followed by the conversion of the multiobjective op-timization model to a single-objective optimizationmodel based on the comprehensive perceived utilitymatrix in equations (15a)ndash(15f) and (16a)ndash(16e)Step 6 solving the optimization model in equations(16a)ndash(16e) to obtain the optimal matching pairs ofonline rental platformsrsquo SAD sides using a geneticalgorithm

33 Data and Measurements is section includes threesections First we introduce the background of the Shanghairental housing market and explain why it is suitable fortesting our study Second we introduce the data set which isfrom Shanghairsquos current online rental platforms ird weintroduce the selection and measurement of multiattributeindicators

331 Background of Shanghairsquos Rental Housing MarketShanghai is one of Chinarsquos four municipalities It is locatedin the east of China at the mouth of the Yangtze River and isthe leading city in the Yangtze River Economic Belt In 2017Shanghai was organized by 16 districts and counties asshown in Figure 3 including Huangpu Xuhui ChangningJingan Hongkou Yangpu Minhang Baoshang Jiading andPudong By the end of 2018 the total population of Shanghaihad reached 2424 million of which 976 million was thefloating population ranking the highest in the country

Since 1980 Chinarsquos housing market has been dominatedby sales while the rental market developed slowly Howeverwith the acceleration of Chinarsquos urbanization processmdashapowerful means of regulating urban real estate retaining theworking population and attracting new talentsmdashthe rental

housing market has become an important part of deepeningthe reform of the housing system and an important way toachieve the goal of improving urban residentsrsquo quality of lifeShanghai as Chinarsquos largest economic center city attracts alarge floating population Since 2011 Shanghairsquos permanentmigrant population has remained above 96 million per yearwhich accounts for more than 40 of the total residentpopulation as shown in Figure 4 is huge population sizehas resulted in an increase in living demands erefore thedevelopment of Shanghairsquos rental housing market requiresurgent attention

In July 2017 Chinarsquos Ministry of Housing and Con-struction and nine other departments jointly issued theldquoNotice on Accelerating the Development of Housing RentalMarket in Large- and Medium-sized Cities with Net Pop-ulation Inflowrdquo requiring large- andmedium-sized cities witha net inflow of population to set up government-backed rentalhousing service platforms erefore Shanghai now has apublic house leasing service platform In addition to thisShanghai has many private online leasing platforms in-cluding Lianjiacom Anjuke and Fangtianxia Many peopleuse these platforms to find listings Online platforms candisplay a variety of information about the listed propertysuch as the number of rooms the size of the property thedegree of decoration and the housing facilitiese platformsalso include some rent-seeking information which helpsmatch the SAD sideserefore Shanghai is a suitable samplefor testing the model constructed in this study

332 Data Collection Using the Python web crawlertechnology on May 13th 2019 we performed a crawlingexercise on 21762 articles from the current mainstreamonline rental platforms like Shanghairsquos housing leasingpublic service platform Anjuke Lianjia and Fangcom Atthe same time we collected 1739 and 929 rent-seekingmessages from 58com and Weibo respectively and ob-tained 1226 effective massages after manually deletingunrelated data e keywords used for detecting unrelateddata included ldquoI am an ownerrdquo ldquoI am an intermediaryrdquoldquocommercialrdquo ldquoshoprdquo ldquorent outrdquo ldquoofficerdquo and ldquoofficebuildingsrdquo e origins of the final data are spread across 15of Shanghairsquos 16 districts e workflow used to crawl rent-seeking information on 58com is shown in Figure 5According to the crawled rent-seeking information shown inTable 2 there is a high degree of similarity between thehousing attribute indicators considered by the potentialtenants e frequencies of the feature words related tohousing area decoration rental price appliances trans-portation and so on are relatively high Given thatShanghairsquos floating population has a relatively high demandfor rental housing and that the consideration factors arerelatively complete in the transaction it appears that thecollected rent-seeking information is adequately represen-tative with a strong reference for other cities as well

Although a word frequency analysis can reflect thepersonalized needs of the tenant by extracting high-fre-quency words it cannot reflect the connections between

those words However a semantic network analysis canvisually display the relationship between elements by con-structing a semantic relationship network map [49]erefore for this study we performed a text analysis of thecrawled information using ROSTCM6 software First thecrawled rent-seeking information was processed throughword segmentation Second the high-frequency words wereextracted and the meaningless words were filtered then theline feature words were extracted to generate VNA files andwe then imported them into NetDraw software to constructa co-occurrence matrix Finally the semantic relationshipnetwork map (shown in Figure 7) of the rent-seeking in-formation was generated As seen in Figure 7 ldquonearrdquo ldquorentrdquoldquodecorationrdquo ldquoappliancesrdquo and ldquosubwayrdquo are the centralnodes of the entire network reflecting the similarity of dif-ferent tenants in selecting online rental houses Compre-hensively tenants conduct a systematic investigation ofoverall quality when searching rental houses On the onehand in terms of location and proximity to transportationtenants share similar requirements reflected by the ldquosubwayrdquoldquotrafficrdquo and ldquonearrdquo nodes On the other hand in terms of theoverall quality of the houses tenants require properties withfacilities as reflected by the ldquoappliancesrdquo ldquofurniturerdquo andldquokitchenrdquo nodes In fact these characteristic words reflect thereal needs of tenants when choosing a rental house onlineHowever both SAD sides of ORH include institutions andorindividuals thus the transaction takes place between unfa-miliar entities In such a case the authenticity of housing andthe construction of the social credit system are significant forthe smooth operation of platforms [50] erefore this studyanalyzed the word cloud maps and semantic network mapsand finally selected seven attributes district traffic conve-nience rent living room house supporting facilities deco-ration and online ratings ese seven indicators of thecrawled listing and rent-seeking information were thenquantified separately as shown in Table 3

Step 6 the optimization model in equation (18) wassolved using a genetic algorithme derived matchingresults are shown in Table 20

As shown in Table 20 all tenants and landlords formedmatching pairs is not only shows matching results thatare satisfactory to both sidesmdashwith an overall satisfactionvalue of the matching results of Z 42374mdashbut also showsan improvement in matching efficiency at is the methodreduces matching costs and time for both SAD ereforethe SAD matching method for ORH proposed in this studycan provide reference to the multiattribute two-sidedmatching decision method and a basis for cracking the ORHSAD matching problem which is characterized by multi-agents and multilevel supply e rationality and effec-tiveness of this method given the multiple attributes ofhousing and both SAD sidesrsquo perceived utility have beenproved in matching the SAD of ORH

In this study a genetic algorithm is used to solve the finalmatching result of the model e population evolutioncurve of the genetic algorithm is shown in Figure 8 Asshown in the figure when the population evolves to 200generations the objective function value reaches the optimalvalue and overall stability In addition the total running timeof the algorithm is 878202 seconds which is very shortWhen the scale of the problem is large it is very feasible toapply genetic algorithms to solve the problem of matchingSAD of online rental housing

42 Discussion

421 Impact of the Weight of SAD During the transactionbetween the SAD sides the weights may not be fair whichmay cause the matching result to be inconsistent with theactual situation To further verify the rationality and com-prehensiveness of the algorithm we verified the weight ofthe SAD double from 0 to 1 respectively As shown inFigure 9 the overall satisfaction of the SAD sides increasedas the weight of the landlord increased but the opposite istrue for the tenants is may be because landlords havefewer housing attributes to consider during the transactionmatching process

422 Impact of the Number of SAD For online housingplatforms the number of SAD sides may be unequal and itmay be a situation where suppliers exceed demanderserefore to further verify the effectiveness of themodel andalgorithm we attempted to calculate a situation in which thesuppliers exceed demanders and added 5 pieces of rentalinformation for calculation It was found that when mle nthe overall satisfaction of both SAD sides became largerZ 43832 which was 01458 higher than the satisfactionvalue when m n is may be caused by some tenantsmatching with more suitable landlords making the satis-faction value higher e influence of the SAD quantities onthe overall satisfaction value Z is shown in Figure 10 Insummary this model is applicable in matching the supplyand demand of ORH

Overall from the analysis of the results the weightsoccupied by the SAD affected the overall satisfaction valuebut had no effect on the final matching result In additionthis model is applicable when the supply is equal to thedemand or the supply is greater than the demandis studyimproves the two-sided matching theory and extends it tothe online leasing market to provide matching efficiencybetween the SAD sides [1]

results Wang et al [36] used the min-max method and usesLINGO software to solve the matching scheme Althoughthis method is simple and easy to operate it is not suitablefor large-scale two-sided matching problems For the sat-isfaction of both SAD Haaimin [41] ignored the psycho-logical characteristics of misfortunes to avoid losses andmaximize advantages However the current multiattributetwo-sided matching decision model can maximize the sat-isfaction of SAD Meanwhile not only does the geneticalgorithm applied in this study solve the large-scale two-sided matching problem but also has a short running timewhich can quickly and effectively promote effectivematching between SAD

5 Conclusions and Implication

In this study an ORHmultiattribute SADmatching decisionmodel based on the perceived utility is constructed ismodel determines the multiattribute indicators and pro-portions of housing that both SAD sides are interested in Byconsidering the psychological expectations of both SAD inmeasuring the perceived utility values this model maximizesthe overall satisfaction of both SAD Finally using Shang-hairsquos online rental and demand information a genetic al-gorithm is used to numerically analyze and solve the modelwhich not only obtains optimal matching results but alsoproves that the genetic algorithm can solve a large two-sidedmatching problem is model enriches the application ofdouble-sided matching theory and provides a referencemethod for online rental SAD matching At the same timethis model considers that the psychological perceptions ofthe SAD sides can maximize their overall satisfaction andpromote the matching accuracy of the model

In the context of ldquoInternet +rdquo and big data the effectivematching of online rental lists is of great implication forpromoting the effective operation of the rental housingmarket In a theoretical sense this study enriches the re-search on rental housing with particular application forrental platforms providing a new perspective for the de-velopment of rental platforms In addition it can be appliedto the rental housing markets of other cities Objectively themodel improves the effective docking of SAD and improvesthe supply sidersquos efficiency Subjectively the enthusiasm forSAD interaction is realized erefore this study has areference basis for promoting the effective matching ofonline SAD and the improvement of satisfaction of bothSAD

As with any study the article at hand suffers from severallimitations that are worth considering in further researchFirstly the method proposed in this study improves theoverall matching between the SAD but it needs to be furthercompared with other decision-making methods Such as inthe future we will further study to compare it with othermethods that actually produce results Second because theeconomic and social backgrounds of each SAD subject aredifferent the characteristic variables of the SAD matchingdecision model in different cities may be different In thefuture we will adjust the multiattribute equations andquantitative standards according to the characteristics of

different cities In addition the actual practice results shouldbe used to verify the SAD matching decision model indifferent cities to promote the sustainable development ofthe rental housing market

Furthermore in the transaction process of the ORHplatforms the multiattribute expectations of both partiesshould be considered Regardless of the tenants or landlordseach subject considers their own subjectrsquos interests based onmultiple values which will directly or indirectly reflect theexpected value of the property Moreover the supply side ofthe rental housing market should increase the informationsymmetry of SAD subjects to ensure that the information istransparent and open and that the transaction process isstandardized guaranteeing easy access to information forboth parties

Equations (15a) and (15b) are the objective functionsrespectively maximizing the sums of the perceived utilitiesof suppliers and demanders in the final matching resultEquations (15c) and (15d) are the requirements of two-sided matching Equation (15c) is an inequality require-ment because mle n which means that each tenant Ti canmatch at most one landlord Lj Equation (15d) is anequality constraint meaning that each landlord Lj can onlymatch one tenant Ti while equation (15e) is a hardrequirement

In order to realize the multiobjective optimizationmodel and maximize the overall matching degree betweensuppliers and demanders the linear weighting method canbe used to weigh equations (15a) and (15b) w1 and w2 arethe weights of Z1 and Z2 respectively to satisfy0lew1 w2 le 1 and w1 + w2 1 Considering the fairness ofthe suppliers and demanders this paper provides thatw1 w2 05 and the two-objective model (15a)ndash(15f ) canbe transformed into a single-objective optimization model(16a)ndash(16e)

324 Solution Procedure According to the above analysisthe proposed methodrsquos solution procedure for the multi-attribute ORH SADmatching decisionmodel is summarizedas follows

Step 1 collection selection and measurement ofShanghairsquos housing property SAD information from itsonline rental platforms using a web crawlerStep 2 calculation of the profit and loss matrices ofSAD based on equations (1)ndash(7)Step 3 calculation of the normative profit and lossmatrices of SAD based on equations (8) and (9)Step 4 calculation of the perceived utility matrix ofSAD based on equations (11) and (12)Step 5 calculation of the comprehensive perceivedutility matrix of SAD based on equations (13) and (14)followed by the conversion of the multiobjective op-timization model to a single-objective optimizationmodel based on the comprehensive perceived utilitymatrix in equations (15a)ndash(15f) and (16a)ndash(16e)Step 6 solving the optimization model in equations(16a)ndash(16e) to obtain the optimal matching pairs ofonline rental platformsrsquo SAD sides using a geneticalgorithm

33 Data and Measurements is section includes threesections First we introduce the background of the Shanghairental housing market and explain why it is suitable fortesting our study Second we introduce the data set which isfrom Shanghairsquos current online rental platforms ird weintroduce the selection and measurement of multiattributeindicators

331 Background of Shanghairsquos Rental Housing MarketShanghai is one of Chinarsquos four municipalities It is locatedin the east of China at the mouth of the Yangtze River and isthe leading city in the Yangtze River Economic Belt In 2017Shanghai was organized by 16 districts and counties asshown in Figure 3 including Huangpu Xuhui ChangningJingan Hongkou Yangpu Minhang Baoshang Jiading andPudong By the end of 2018 the total population of Shanghaihad reached 2424 million of which 976 million was thefloating population ranking the highest in the country

Since 1980 Chinarsquos housing market has been dominatedby sales while the rental market developed slowly Howeverwith the acceleration of Chinarsquos urbanization processmdashapowerful means of regulating urban real estate retaining theworking population and attracting new talentsmdashthe rental

housing market has become an important part of deepeningthe reform of the housing system and an important way toachieve the goal of improving urban residentsrsquo quality of lifeShanghai as Chinarsquos largest economic center city attracts alarge floating population Since 2011 Shanghairsquos permanentmigrant population has remained above 96 million per yearwhich accounts for more than 40 of the total residentpopulation as shown in Figure 4 is huge population sizehas resulted in an increase in living demands erefore thedevelopment of Shanghairsquos rental housing market requiresurgent attention

In July 2017 Chinarsquos Ministry of Housing and Con-struction and nine other departments jointly issued theldquoNotice on Accelerating the Development of Housing RentalMarket in Large- and Medium-sized Cities with Net Pop-ulation Inflowrdquo requiring large- andmedium-sized cities witha net inflow of population to set up government-backed rentalhousing service platforms erefore Shanghai now has apublic house leasing service platform In addition to thisShanghai has many private online leasing platforms in-cluding Lianjiacom Anjuke and Fangtianxia Many peopleuse these platforms to find listings Online platforms candisplay a variety of information about the listed propertysuch as the number of rooms the size of the property thedegree of decoration and the housing facilitiese platformsalso include some rent-seeking information which helpsmatch the SAD sideserefore Shanghai is a suitable samplefor testing the model constructed in this study

332 Data Collection Using the Python web crawlertechnology on May 13th 2019 we performed a crawlingexercise on 21762 articles from the current mainstreamonline rental platforms like Shanghairsquos housing leasingpublic service platform Anjuke Lianjia and Fangcom Atthe same time we collected 1739 and 929 rent-seekingmessages from 58com and Weibo respectively and ob-tained 1226 effective massages after manually deletingunrelated data e keywords used for detecting unrelateddata included ldquoI am an ownerrdquo ldquoI am an intermediaryrdquoldquocommercialrdquo ldquoshoprdquo ldquorent outrdquo ldquoofficerdquo and ldquoofficebuildingsrdquo e origins of the final data are spread across 15of Shanghairsquos 16 districts e workflow used to crawl rent-seeking information on 58com is shown in Figure 5According to the crawled rent-seeking information shown inTable 2 there is a high degree of similarity between thehousing attribute indicators considered by the potentialtenants e frequencies of the feature words related tohousing area decoration rental price appliances trans-portation and so on are relatively high Given thatShanghairsquos floating population has a relatively high demandfor rental housing and that the consideration factors arerelatively complete in the transaction it appears that thecollected rent-seeking information is adequately represen-tative with a strong reference for other cities as well

333 Selection and Measurements of MultiattributeIndicators Word frequency can reflect the importance of aword in different contexts or expressions e higher the

word frequency the more important it is With the afore-mentioned Python crawled rent-seeking messages from theldquoPersonalized needsrdquo page of 58com and the commentsfrom Weiborsquos ldquoShanghai Rent-seekingrdquo page this paperemploys a word cloud to display the top 50 words related toproperty characteristics (shown in Figure 6) e top three

words are ldquonearrdquo ldquorentrdquo and ldquodecorationrdquo followed byldquosubwayrdquo ldquofurniturerdquo ldquohome appliancesrdquo and ldquosingle roomrdquoe search term ldquoNearrdquo reflects the requirements of thehousing location while ldquoSubwayrdquo indicates a requirement forproximity to public transportatione characteristic value ofldquorentrdquo reflects the demand for renting a house ldquoRoomrdquo

Although a word frequency analysis can reflect thepersonalized needs of the tenant by extracting high-fre-quency words it cannot reflect the connections between

those words However a semantic network analysis canvisually display the relationship between elements by con-structing a semantic relationship network map [49]erefore for this study we performed a text analysis of thecrawled information using ROSTCM6 software First thecrawled rent-seeking information was processed throughword segmentation Second the high-frequency words wereextracted and the meaningless words were filtered then theline feature words were extracted to generate VNA files andwe then imported them into NetDraw software to constructa co-occurrence matrix Finally the semantic relationshipnetwork map (shown in Figure 7) of the rent-seeking in-formation was generated As seen in Figure 7 ldquonearrdquo ldquorentrdquoldquodecorationrdquo ldquoappliancesrdquo and ldquosubwayrdquo are the centralnodes of the entire network reflecting the similarity of dif-ferent tenants in selecting online rental houses Compre-hensively tenants conduct a systematic investigation ofoverall quality when searching rental houses On the onehand in terms of location and proximity to transportationtenants share similar requirements reflected by the ldquosubwayrdquoldquotrafficrdquo and ldquonearrdquo nodes On the other hand in terms of theoverall quality of the houses tenants require properties withfacilities as reflected by the ldquoappliancesrdquo ldquofurniturerdquo andldquokitchenrdquo nodes In fact these characteristic words reflect thereal needs of tenants when choosing a rental house onlineHowever both SAD sides of ORH include institutions andorindividuals thus the transaction takes place between unfa-miliar entities In such a case the authenticity of housing andthe construction of the social credit system are significant forthe smooth operation of platforms [50] erefore this studyanalyzed the word cloud maps and semantic network mapsand finally selected seven attributes district traffic conve-nience rent living room house supporting facilities deco-ration and online ratings ese seven indicators of thecrawled listing and rent-seeking information were thenquantified separately as shown in Table 3

Step 6 the optimization model in equation (18) wassolved using a genetic algorithme derived matchingresults are shown in Table 20

As shown in Table 20 all tenants and landlords formedmatching pairs is not only shows matching results thatare satisfactory to both sidesmdashwith an overall satisfactionvalue of the matching results of Z 42374mdashbut also showsan improvement in matching efficiency at is the methodreduces matching costs and time for both SAD ereforethe SAD matching method for ORH proposed in this studycan provide reference to the multiattribute two-sidedmatching decision method and a basis for cracking the ORHSAD matching problem which is characterized by multi-agents and multilevel supply e rationality and effec-tiveness of this method given the multiple attributes ofhousing and both SAD sidesrsquo perceived utility have beenproved in matching the SAD of ORH

In this study a genetic algorithm is used to solve the finalmatching result of the model e population evolutioncurve of the genetic algorithm is shown in Figure 8 Asshown in the figure when the population evolves to 200generations the objective function value reaches the optimalvalue and overall stability In addition the total running timeof the algorithm is 878202 seconds which is very shortWhen the scale of the problem is large it is very feasible toapply genetic algorithms to solve the problem of matchingSAD of online rental housing

42 Discussion

421 Impact of the Weight of SAD During the transactionbetween the SAD sides the weights may not be fair whichmay cause the matching result to be inconsistent with theactual situation To further verify the rationality and com-prehensiveness of the algorithm we verified the weight ofthe SAD double from 0 to 1 respectively As shown inFigure 9 the overall satisfaction of the SAD sides increasedas the weight of the landlord increased but the opposite istrue for the tenants is may be because landlords havefewer housing attributes to consider during the transactionmatching process

422 Impact of the Number of SAD For online housingplatforms the number of SAD sides may be unequal and itmay be a situation where suppliers exceed demanderserefore to further verify the effectiveness of themodel andalgorithm we attempted to calculate a situation in which thesuppliers exceed demanders and added 5 pieces of rentalinformation for calculation It was found that when mle nthe overall satisfaction of both SAD sides became largerZ 43832 which was 01458 higher than the satisfactionvalue when m n is may be caused by some tenantsmatching with more suitable landlords making the satis-faction value higher e influence of the SAD quantities onthe overall satisfaction value Z is shown in Figure 10 Insummary this model is applicable in matching the supplyand demand of ORH

Overall from the analysis of the results the weightsoccupied by the SAD affected the overall satisfaction valuebut had no effect on the final matching result In additionthis model is applicable when the supply is equal to thedemand or the supply is greater than the demandis studyimproves the two-sided matching theory and extends it tothe online leasing market to provide matching efficiencybetween the SAD sides [1]

423 Comparison with Other Methods e method pro-posed in this study may have some differences comparedwith other methodsWith regard to model application someliterature studies have applied matching methods to fieldssuch as hospital diagnosis carpool matching job and per-sonnel matching electronic market matching electric powerretailer and buyer matching and technology marketmatching However application in the rental housingmarket is limited From the perspective of model quantifi-cation methods some scholars quantify the satisfactionvalues of the SAD based on fuzzy sets triangular intui-tionistic fuzzy numbers and gray correlation analysis butthese methods do not consider the psychological behavior ofparticipants erefore we quantify the perceived utilityvalue of the SAD sides based on the disappointment theorystarting from the perceptions of the SAD sides which are

results Wang et al [36] used the min-max method and usesLINGO software to solve the matching scheme Althoughthis method is simple and easy to operate it is not suitablefor large-scale two-sided matching problems For the sat-isfaction of both SAD Haaimin [41] ignored the psycho-logical characteristics of misfortunes to avoid losses andmaximize advantages However the current multiattributetwo-sided matching decision model can maximize the sat-isfaction of SAD Meanwhile not only does the geneticalgorithm applied in this study solve the large-scale two-sided matching problem but also has a short running timewhich can quickly and effectively promote effectivematching between SAD

5 Conclusions and Implication

In this study an ORHmultiattribute SADmatching decisionmodel based on the perceived utility is constructed ismodel determines the multiattribute indicators and pro-portions of housing that both SAD sides are interested in Byconsidering the psychological expectations of both SAD inmeasuring the perceived utility values this model maximizesthe overall satisfaction of both SAD Finally using Shang-hairsquos online rental and demand information a genetic al-gorithm is used to numerically analyze and solve the modelwhich not only obtains optimal matching results but alsoproves that the genetic algorithm can solve a large two-sidedmatching problem is model enriches the application ofdouble-sided matching theory and provides a referencemethod for online rental SAD matching At the same timethis model considers that the psychological perceptions ofthe SAD sides can maximize their overall satisfaction andpromote the matching accuracy of the model

In the context of ldquoInternet +rdquo and big data the effectivematching of online rental lists is of great implication forpromoting the effective operation of the rental housingmarket In a theoretical sense this study enriches the re-search on rental housing with particular application forrental platforms providing a new perspective for the de-velopment of rental platforms In addition it can be appliedto the rental housing markets of other cities Objectively themodel improves the effective docking of SAD and improvesthe supply sidersquos efficiency Subjectively the enthusiasm forSAD interaction is realized erefore this study has areference basis for promoting the effective matching ofonline SAD and the improvement of satisfaction of bothSAD

As with any study the article at hand suffers from severallimitations that are worth considering in further researchFirstly the method proposed in this study improves theoverall matching between the SAD but it needs to be furthercompared with other decision-making methods Such as inthe future we will further study to compare it with othermethods that actually produce results Second because theeconomic and social backgrounds of each SAD subject aredifferent the characteristic variables of the SAD matchingdecision model in different cities may be different In thefuture we will adjust the multiattribute equations andquantitative standards according to the characteristics of

different cities In addition the actual practice results shouldbe used to verify the SAD matching decision model indifferent cities to promote the sustainable development ofthe rental housing market

Furthermore in the transaction process of the ORHplatforms the multiattribute expectations of both partiesshould be considered Regardless of the tenants or landlordseach subject considers their own subjectrsquos interests based onmultiple values which will directly or indirectly reflect theexpected value of the property Moreover the supply side ofthe rental housing market should increase the informationsymmetry of SAD subjects to ensure that the information istransparent and open and that the transaction process isstandardized guaranteeing easy access to information forboth parties

324 Solution Procedure According to the above analysisthe proposed methodrsquos solution procedure for the multi-attribute ORH SADmatching decisionmodel is summarizedas follows

Step 1 collection selection and measurement ofShanghairsquos housing property SAD information from itsonline rental platforms using a web crawlerStep 2 calculation of the profit and loss matrices ofSAD based on equations (1)ndash(7)Step 3 calculation of the normative profit and lossmatrices of SAD based on equations (8) and (9)Step 4 calculation of the perceived utility matrix ofSAD based on equations (11) and (12)Step 5 calculation of the comprehensive perceivedutility matrix of SAD based on equations (13) and (14)followed by the conversion of the multiobjective op-timization model to a single-objective optimizationmodel based on the comprehensive perceived utilitymatrix in equations (15a)ndash(15f) and (16a)ndash(16e)Step 6 solving the optimization model in equations(16a)ndash(16e) to obtain the optimal matching pairs ofonline rental platformsrsquo SAD sides using a geneticalgorithm

33 Data and Measurements is section includes threesections First we introduce the background of the Shanghairental housing market and explain why it is suitable fortesting our study Second we introduce the data set which isfrom Shanghairsquos current online rental platforms ird weintroduce the selection and measurement of multiattributeindicators

331 Background of Shanghairsquos Rental Housing MarketShanghai is one of Chinarsquos four municipalities It is locatedin the east of China at the mouth of the Yangtze River and isthe leading city in the Yangtze River Economic Belt In 2017Shanghai was organized by 16 districts and counties asshown in Figure 3 including Huangpu Xuhui ChangningJingan Hongkou Yangpu Minhang Baoshang Jiading andPudong By the end of 2018 the total population of Shanghaihad reached 2424 million of which 976 million was thefloating population ranking the highest in the country

Since 1980 Chinarsquos housing market has been dominatedby sales while the rental market developed slowly Howeverwith the acceleration of Chinarsquos urbanization processmdashapowerful means of regulating urban real estate retaining theworking population and attracting new talentsmdashthe rental

housing market has become an important part of deepeningthe reform of the housing system and an important way toachieve the goal of improving urban residentsrsquo quality of lifeShanghai as Chinarsquos largest economic center city attracts alarge floating population Since 2011 Shanghairsquos permanentmigrant population has remained above 96 million per yearwhich accounts for more than 40 of the total residentpopulation as shown in Figure 4 is huge population sizehas resulted in an increase in living demands erefore thedevelopment of Shanghairsquos rental housing market requiresurgent attention

In July 2017 Chinarsquos Ministry of Housing and Con-struction and nine other departments jointly issued theldquoNotice on Accelerating the Development of Housing RentalMarket in Large- and Medium-sized Cities with Net Pop-ulation Inflowrdquo requiring large- andmedium-sized cities witha net inflow of population to set up government-backed rentalhousing service platforms erefore Shanghai now has apublic house leasing service platform In addition to thisShanghai has many private online leasing platforms in-cluding Lianjiacom Anjuke and Fangtianxia Many peopleuse these platforms to find listings Online platforms candisplay a variety of information about the listed propertysuch as the number of rooms the size of the property thedegree of decoration and the housing facilitiese platformsalso include some rent-seeking information which helpsmatch the SAD sideserefore Shanghai is a suitable samplefor testing the model constructed in this study

332 Data Collection Using the Python web crawlertechnology on May 13th 2019 we performed a crawlingexercise on 21762 articles from the current mainstreamonline rental platforms like Shanghairsquos housing leasingpublic service platform Anjuke Lianjia and Fangcom Atthe same time we collected 1739 and 929 rent-seekingmessages from 58com and Weibo respectively and ob-tained 1226 effective massages after manually deletingunrelated data e keywords used for detecting unrelateddata included ldquoI am an ownerrdquo ldquoI am an intermediaryrdquoldquocommercialrdquo ldquoshoprdquo ldquorent outrdquo ldquoofficerdquo and ldquoofficebuildingsrdquo e origins of the final data are spread across 15of Shanghairsquos 16 districts e workflow used to crawl rent-seeking information on 58com is shown in Figure 5According to the crawled rent-seeking information shown inTable 2 there is a high degree of similarity between thehousing attribute indicators considered by the potentialtenants e frequencies of the feature words related tohousing area decoration rental price appliances trans-portation and so on are relatively high Given thatShanghairsquos floating population has a relatively high demandfor rental housing and that the consideration factors arerelatively complete in the transaction it appears that thecollected rent-seeking information is adequately represen-tative with a strong reference for other cities as well

333 Selection and Measurements of MultiattributeIndicators Word frequency can reflect the importance of aword in different contexts or expressions e higher the

Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society 9

word frequency the more important it is With the afore-mentioned Python crawled rent-seeking messages from theldquoPersonalized needsrdquo page of 58com and the commentsfrom Weiborsquos ldquoShanghai Rent-seekingrdquo page this paperemploys a word cloud to display the top 50 words related toproperty characteristics (shown in Figure 6) e top three

words are ldquonearrdquo ldquorentrdquo and ldquodecorationrdquo followed byldquosubwayrdquo ldquofurniturerdquo ldquohome appliancesrdquo and ldquosingle roomrdquoe search term ldquoNearrdquo reflects the requirements of thehousing location while ldquoSubwayrdquo indicates a requirement forproximity to public transportatione characteristic value ofldquorentrdquo reflects the demand for renting a house ldquoRoomrdquo

Although a word frequency analysis can reflect thepersonalized needs of the tenant by extracting high-fre-quency words it cannot reflect the connections between

those words However a semantic network analysis canvisually display the relationship between elements by con-structing a semantic relationship network map [49]erefore for this study we performed a text analysis of thecrawled information using ROSTCM6 software First thecrawled rent-seeking information was processed throughword segmentation Second the high-frequency words wereextracted and the meaningless words were filtered then theline feature words were extracted to generate VNA files andwe then imported them into NetDraw software to constructa co-occurrence matrix Finally the semantic relationshipnetwork map (shown in Figure 7) of the rent-seeking in-formation was generated As seen in Figure 7 ldquonearrdquo ldquorentrdquoldquodecorationrdquo ldquoappliancesrdquo and ldquosubwayrdquo are the centralnodes of the entire network reflecting the similarity of dif-ferent tenants in selecting online rental houses Compre-hensively tenants conduct a systematic investigation ofoverall quality when searching rental houses On the onehand in terms of location and proximity to transportationtenants share similar requirements reflected by the ldquosubwayrdquoldquotrafficrdquo and ldquonearrdquo nodes On the other hand in terms of theoverall quality of the houses tenants require properties withfacilities as reflected by the ldquoappliancesrdquo ldquofurniturerdquo andldquokitchenrdquo nodes In fact these characteristic words reflect thereal needs of tenants when choosing a rental house onlineHowever both SAD sides of ORH include institutions andorindividuals thus the transaction takes place between unfa-miliar entities In such a case the authenticity of housing andthe construction of the social credit system are significant forthe smooth operation of platforms [50] erefore this studyanalyzed the word cloud maps and semantic network mapsand finally selected seven attributes district traffic conve-nience rent living room house supporting facilities deco-ration and online ratings ese seven indicators of thecrawled listing and rent-seeking information were thenquantified separately as shown in Table 3

e entropy weight method is effective for calculatingthe weight and objective orderings of multiattribute indi-cators by applying information entropy [51] e smaller theinformation entropy of the indicator the larger the amountof information provided Similarly the greater the entropyrsquosrole in the comprehensive evaluation the higher the weightus the paper uses the entropy weight method to calculateweight For the tenants it is necessary to pay attention to theseven attributes of area transportation convenience rentliving room housing matching decoration and onlineratings Regarding their types location is a hard require-ment living room house matching and decoration arebenefit requirements while rent and transportation con-venience are cost requirements eir weight values are w1

Step 6 the optimization model in equation (18) wassolved using a genetic algorithme derived matchingresults are shown in Table 20

As shown in Table 20 all tenants and landlords formedmatching pairs is not only shows matching results thatare satisfactory to both sidesmdashwith an overall satisfactionvalue of the matching results of Z 42374mdashbut also showsan improvement in matching efficiency at is the methodreduces matching costs and time for both SAD ereforethe SAD matching method for ORH proposed in this studycan provide reference to the multiattribute two-sidedmatching decision method and a basis for cracking the ORHSAD matching problem which is characterized by multi-agents and multilevel supply e rationality and effec-tiveness of this method given the multiple attributes ofhousing and both SAD sidesrsquo perceived utility have beenproved in matching the SAD of ORH

In this study a genetic algorithm is used to solve the finalmatching result of the model e population evolutioncurve of the genetic algorithm is shown in Figure 8 Asshown in the figure when the population evolves to 200generations the objective function value reaches the optimalvalue and overall stability In addition the total running timeof the algorithm is 878202 seconds which is very shortWhen the scale of the problem is large it is very feasible toapply genetic algorithms to solve the problem of matchingSAD of online rental housing

42 Discussion

421 Impact of the Weight of SAD During the transactionbetween the SAD sides the weights may not be fair whichmay cause the matching result to be inconsistent with theactual situation To further verify the rationality and com-prehensiveness of the algorithm we verified the weight ofthe SAD double from 0 to 1 respectively As shown inFigure 9 the overall satisfaction of the SAD sides increasedas the weight of the landlord increased but the opposite istrue for the tenants is may be because landlords havefewer housing attributes to consider during the transactionmatching process

422 Impact of the Number of SAD For online housingplatforms the number of SAD sides may be unequal and itmay be a situation where suppliers exceed demanderserefore to further verify the effectiveness of themodel andalgorithm we attempted to calculate a situation in which thesuppliers exceed demanders and added 5 pieces of rentalinformation for calculation It was found that when mle nthe overall satisfaction of both SAD sides became largerZ 43832 which was 01458 higher than the satisfactionvalue when m n is may be caused by some tenantsmatching with more suitable landlords making the satis-faction value higher e influence of the SAD quantities onthe overall satisfaction value Z is shown in Figure 10 Insummary this model is applicable in matching the supplyand demand of ORH

Overall from the analysis of the results the weightsoccupied by the SAD affected the overall satisfaction valuebut had no effect on the final matching result In additionthis model is applicable when the supply is equal to thedemand or the supply is greater than the demandis studyimproves the two-sided matching theory and extends it tothe online leasing market to provide matching efficiencybetween the SAD sides [1]

results Wang et al [36] used the min-max method and usesLINGO software to solve the matching scheme Althoughthis method is simple and easy to operate it is not suitablefor large-scale two-sided matching problems For the sat-isfaction of both SAD Haaimin [41] ignored the psycho-logical characteristics of misfortunes to avoid losses andmaximize advantages However the current multiattributetwo-sided matching decision model can maximize the sat-isfaction of SAD Meanwhile not only does the geneticalgorithm applied in this study solve the large-scale two-sided matching problem but also has a short running timewhich can quickly and effectively promote effectivematching between SAD

5 Conclusions and Implication

In this study an ORHmultiattribute SADmatching decisionmodel based on the perceived utility is constructed ismodel determines the multiattribute indicators and pro-portions of housing that both SAD sides are interested in Byconsidering the psychological expectations of both SAD inmeasuring the perceived utility values this model maximizesthe overall satisfaction of both SAD Finally using Shang-hairsquos online rental and demand information a genetic al-gorithm is used to numerically analyze and solve the modelwhich not only obtains optimal matching results but alsoproves that the genetic algorithm can solve a large two-sidedmatching problem is model enriches the application ofdouble-sided matching theory and provides a referencemethod for online rental SAD matching At the same timethis model considers that the psychological perceptions ofthe SAD sides can maximize their overall satisfaction andpromote the matching accuracy of the model

In the context of ldquoInternet +rdquo and big data the effectivematching of online rental lists is of great implication forpromoting the effective operation of the rental housingmarket In a theoretical sense this study enriches the re-search on rental housing with particular application forrental platforms providing a new perspective for the de-velopment of rental platforms In addition it can be appliedto the rental housing markets of other cities Objectively themodel improves the effective docking of SAD and improvesthe supply sidersquos efficiency Subjectively the enthusiasm forSAD interaction is realized erefore this study has areference basis for promoting the effective matching ofonline SAD and the improvement of satisfaction of bothSAD

As with any study the article at hand suffers from severallimitations that are worth considering in further researchFirstly the method proposed in this study improves theoverall matching between the SAD but it needs to be furthercompared with other decision-making methods Such as inthe future we will further study to compare it with othermethods that actually produce results Second because theeconomic and social backgrounds of each SAD subject aredifferent the characteristic variables of the SAD matchingdecision model in different cities may be different In thefuture we will adjust the multiattribute equations andquantitative standards according to the characteristics of

different cities In addition the actual practice results shouldbe used to verify the SAD matching decision model indifferent cities to promote the sustainable development ofthe rental housing market

Furthermore in the transaction process of the ORHplatforms the multiattribute expectations of both partiesshould be considered Regardless of the tenants or landlordseach subject considers their own subjectrsquos interests based onmultiple values which will directly or indirectly reflect theexpected value of the property Moreover the supply side ofthe rental housing market should increase the informationsymmetry of SAD subjects to ensure that the information istransparent and open and that the transaction process isstandardized guaranteeing easy access to information forboth parties

Although a word frequency analysis can reflect thepersonalized needs of the tenant by extracting high-fre-quency words it cannot reflect the connections between

those words However a semantic network analysis canvisually display the relationship between elements by con-structing a semantic relationship network map [49]erefore for this study we performed a text analysis of thecrawled information using ROSTCM6 software First thecrawled rent-seeking information was processed throughword segmentation Second the high-frequency words wereextracted and the meaningless words were filtered then theline feature words were extracted to generate VNA files andwe then imported them into NetDraw software to constructa co-occurrence matrix Finally the semantic relationshipnetwork map (shown in Figure 7) of the rent-seeking in-formation was generated As seen in Figure 7 ldquonearrdquo ldquorentrdquoldquodecorationrdquo ldquoappliancesrdquo and ldquosubwayrdquo are the centralnodes of the entire network reflecting the similarity of dif-ferent tenants in selecting online rental houses Compre-hensively tenants conduct a systematic investigation ofoverall quality when searching rental houses On the onehand in terms of location and proximity to transportationtenants share similar requirements reflected by the ldquosubwayrdquoldquotrafficrdquo and ldquonearrdquo nodes On the other hand in terms of theoverall quality of the houses tenants require properties withfacilities as reflected by the ldquoappliancesrdquo ldquofurniturerdquo andldquokitchenrdquo nodes In fact these characteristic words reflect thereal needs of tenants when choosing a rental house onlineHowever both SAD sides of ORH include institutions andorindividuals thus the transaction takes place between unfa-miliar entities In such a case the authenticity of housing andthe construction of the social credit system are significant forthe smooth operation of platforms [50] erefore this studyanalyzed the word cloud maps and semantic network mapsand finally selected seven attributes district traffic conve-nience rent living room house supporting facilities deco-ration and online ratings ese seven indicators of thecrawled listing and rent-seeking information were thenquantified separately as shown in Table 3

e entropy weight method is effective for calculatingthe weight and objective orderings of multiattribute indi-cators by applying information entropy [51] e smaller theinformation entropy of the indicator the larger the amountof information provided Similarly the greater the entropyrsquosrole in the comprehensive evaluation the higher the weightus the paper uses the entropy weight method to calculateweight For the tenants it is necessary to pay attention to theseven attributes of area transportation convenience rentliving room housing matching decoration and onlineratings Regarding their types location is a hard require-ment living room house matching and decoration arebenefit requirements while rent and transportation con-venience are cost requirements eir weight values are w1

Step 6 the optimization model in equation (18) wassolved using a genetic algorithme derived matchingresults are shown in Table 20

As shown in Table 20 all tenants and landlords formedmatching pairs is not only shows matching results thatare satisfactory to both sidesmdashwith an overall satisfactionvalue of the matching results of Z 42374mdashbut also showsan improvement in matching efficiency at is the methodreduces matching costs and time for both SAD ereforethe SAD matching method for ORH proposed in this studycan provide reference to the multiattribute two-sidedmatching decision method and a basis for cracking the ORHSAD matching problem which is characterized by multi-agents and multilevel supply e rationality and effec-tiveness of this method given the multiple attributes ofhousing and both SAD sidesrsquo perceived utility have beenproved in matching the SAD of ORH

In this study a genetic algorithm is used to solve the finalmatching result of the model e population evolutioncurve of the genetic algorithm is shown in Figure 8 Asshown in the figure when the population evolves to 200generations the objective function value reaches the optimalvalue and overall stability In addition the total running timeof the algorithm is 878202 seconds which is very shortWhen the scale of the problem is large it is very feasible toapply genetic algorithms to solve the problem of matchingSAD of online rental housing

42 Discussion

421 Impact of the Weight of SAD During the transactionbetween the SAD sides the weights may not be fair whichmay cause the matching result to be inconsistent with theactual situation To further verify the rationality and com-prehensiveness of the algorithm we verified the weight ofthe SAD double from 0 to 1 respectively As shown inFigure 9 the overall satisfaction of the SAD sides increasedas the weight of the landlord increased but the opposite istrue for the tenants is may be because landlords havefewer housing attributes to consider during the transactionmatching process

422 Impact of the Number of SAD For online housingplatforms the number of SAD sides may be unequal and itmay be a situation where suppliers exceed demanderserefore to further verify the effectiveness of themodel andalgorithm we attempted to calculate a situation in which thesuppliers exceed demanders and added 5 pieces of rentalinformation for calculation It was found that when mle nthe overall satisfaction of both SAD sides became largerZ 43832 which was 01458 higher than the satisfactionvalue when m n is may be caused by some tenantsmatching with more suitable landlords making the satis-faction value higher e influence of the SAD quantities onthe overall satisfaction value Z is shown in Figure 10 Insummary this model is applicable in matching the supplyand demand of ORH

Overall from the analysis of the results the weightsoccupied by the SAD affected the overall satisfaction valuebut had no effect on the final matching result In additionthis model is applicable when the supply is equal to thedemand or the supply is greater than the demandis studyimproves the two-sided matching theory and extends it tothe online leasing market to provide matching efficiencybetween the SAD sides [1]

results Wang et al [36] used the min-max method and usesLINGO software to solve the matching scheme Althoughthis method is simple and easy to operate it is not suitablefor large-scale two-sided matching problems For the sat-isfaction of both SAD Haaimin [41] ignored the psycho-logical characteristics of misfortunes to avoid losses andmaximize advantages However the current multiattributetwo-sided matching decision model can maximize the sat-isfaction of SAD Meanwhile not only does the geneticalgorithm applied in this study solve the large-scale two-sided matching problem but also has a short running timewhich can quickly and effectively promote effectivematching between SAD

5 Conclusions and Implication

In this study an ORHmultiattribute SADmatching decisionmodel based on the perceived utility is constructed ismodel determines the multiattribute indicators and pro-portions of housing that both SAD sides are interested in Byconsidering the psychological expectations of both SAD inmeasuring the perceived utility values this model maximizesthe overall satisfaction of both SAD Finally using Shang-hairsquos online rental and demand information a genetic al-gorithm is used to numerically analyze and solve the modelwhich not only obtains optimal matching results but alsoproves that the genetic algorithm can solve a large two-sidedmatching problem is model enriches the application ofdouble-sided matching theory and provides a referencemethod for online rental SAD matching At the same timethis model considers that the psychological perceptions ofthe SAD sides can maximize their overall satisfaction andpromote the matching accuracy of the model

In the context of ldquoInternet +rdquo and big data the effectivematching of online rental lists is of great implication forpromoting the effective operation of the rental housingmarket In a theoretical sense this study enriches the re-search on rental housing with particular application forrental platforms providing a new perspective for the de-velopment of rental platforms In addition it can be appliedto the rental housing markets of other cities Objectively themodel improves the effective docking of SAD and improvesthe supply sidersquos efficiency Subjectively the enthusiasm forSAD interaction is realized erefore this study has areference basis for promoting the effective matching ofonline SAD and the improvement of satisfaction of bothSAD

As with any study the article at hand suffers from severallimitations that are worth considering in further researchFirstly the method proposed in this study improves theoverall matching between the SAD but it needs to be furthercompared with other decision-making methods Such as inthe future we will further study to compare it with othermethods that actually produce results Second because theeconomic and social backgrounds of each SAD subject aredifferent the characteristic variables of the SAD matchingdecision model in different cities may be different In thefuture we will adjust the multiattribute equations andquantitative standards according to the characteristics of

different cities In addition the actual practice results shouldbe used to verify the SAD matching decision model indifferent cities to promote the sustainable development ofthe rental housing market

Furthermore in the transaction process of the ORHplatforms the multiattribute expectations of both partiesshould be considered Regardless of the tenants or landlordseach subject considers their own subjectrsquos interests based onmultiple values which will directly or indirectly reflect theexpected value of the property Moreover the supply side ofthe rental housing market should increase the informationsymmetry of SAD subjects to ensure that the information istransparent and open and that the transaction process isstandardized guaranteeing easy access to information forboth parties

Although a word frequency analysis can reflect thepersonalized needs of the tenant by extracting high-fre-quency words it cannot reflect the connections between

those words However a semantic network analysis canvisually display the relationship between elements by con-structing a semantic relationship network map [49]erefore for this study we performed a text analysis of thecrawled information using ROSTCM6 software First thecrawled rent-seeking information was processed throughword segmentation Second the high-frequency words wereextracted and the meaningless words were filtered then theline feature words were extracted to generate VNA files andwe then imported them into NetDraw software to constructa co-occurrence matrix Finally the semantic relationshipnetwork map (shown in Figure 7) of the rent-seeking in-formation was generated As seen in Figure 7 ldquonearrdquo ldquorentrdquoldquodecorationrdquo ldquoappliancesrdquo and ldquosubwayrdquo are the centralnodes of the entire network reflecting the similarity of dif-ferent tenants in selecting online rental houses Compre-hensively tenants conduct a systematic investigation ofoverall quality when searching rental houses On the onehand in terms of location and proximity to transportationtenants share similar requirements reflected by the ldquosubwayrdquoldquotrafficrdquo and ldquonearrdquo nodes On the other hand in terms of theoverall quality of the houses tenants require properties withfacilities as reflected by the ldquoappliancesrdquo ldquofurniturerdquo andldquokitchenrdquo nodes In fact these characteristic words reflect thereal needs of tenants when choosing a rental house onlineHowever both SAD sides of ORH include institutions andorindividuals thus the transaction takes place between unfa-miliar entities In such a case the authenticity of housing andthe construction of the social credit system are significant forthe smooth operation of platforms [50] erefore this studyanalyzed the word cloud maps and semantic network mapsand finally selected seven attributes district traffic conve-nience rent living room house supporting facilities deco-ration and online ratings ese seven indicators of thecrawled listing and rent-seeking information were thenquantified separately as shown in Table 3

e entropy weight method is effective for calculatingthe weight and objective orderings of multiattribute indi-cators by applying information entropy [51] e smaller theinformation entropy of the indicator the larger the amountof information provided Similarly the greater the entropyrsquosrole in the comprehensive evaluation the higher the weightus the paper uses the entropy weight method to calculateweight For the tenants it is necessary to pay attention to theseven attributes of area transportation convenience rentliving room housing matching decoration and onlineratings Regarding their types location is a hard require-ment living room house matching and decoration arebenefit requirements while rent and transportation con-venience are cost requirements eir weight values are w1

Step 6 the optimization model in equation (18) wassolved using a genetic algorithme derived matchingresults are shown in Table 20

As shown in Table 20 all tenants and landlords formedmatching pairs is not only shows matching results thatare satisfactory to both sidesmdashwith an overall satisfactionvalue of the matching results of Z 42374mdashbut also showsan improvement in matching efficiency at is the methodreduces matching costs and time for both SAD ereforethe SAD matching method for ORH proposed in this studycan provide reference to the multiattribute two-sidedmatching decision method and a basis for cracking the ORHSAD matching problem which is characterized by multi-agents and multilevel supply e rationality and effec-tiveness of this method given the multiple attributes ofhousing and both SAD sidesrsquo perceived utility have beenproved in matching the SAD of ORH

In this study a genetic algorithm is used to solve the finalmatching result of the model e population evolutioncurve of the genetic algorithm is shown in Figure 8 Asshown in the figure when the population evolves to 200generations the objective function value reaches the optimalvalue and overall stability In addition the total running timeof the algorithm is 878202 seconds which is very shortWhen the scale of the problem is large it is very feasible toapply genetic algorithms to solve the problem of matchingSAD of online rental housing

42 Discussion

421 Impact of the Weight of SAD During the transactionbetween the SAD sides the weights may not be fair whichmay cause the matching result to be inconsistent with theactual situation To further verify the rationality and com-prehensiveness of the algorithm we verified the weight ofthe SAD double from 0 to 1 respectively As shown inFigure 9 the overall satisfaction of the SAD sides increasedas the weight of the landlord increased but the opposite istrue for the tenants is may be because landlords havefewer housing attributes to consider during the transactionmatching process

422 Impact of the Number of SAD For online housingplatforms the number of SAD sides may be unequal and itmay be a situation where suppliers exceed demanderserefore to further verify the effectiveness of themodel andalgorithm we attempted to calculate a situation in which thesuppliers exceed demanders and added 5 pieces of rentalinformation for calculation It was found that when mle nthe overall satisfaction of both SAD sides became largerZ 43832 which was 01458 higher than the satisfactionvalue when m n is may be caused by some tenantsmatching with more suitable landlords making the satis-faction value higher e influence of the SAD quantities onthe overall satisfaction value Z is shown in Figure 10 Insummary this model is applicable in matching the supplyand demand of ORH

Overall from the analysis of the results the weightsoccupied by the SAD affected the overall satisfaction valuebut had no effect on the final matching result In additionthis model is applicable when the supply is equal to thedemand or the supply is greater than the demandis studyimproves the two-sided matching theory and extends it tothe online leasing market to provide matching efficiencybetween the SAD sides [1]

423 Comparison with Other Methods e method pro-posed in this study may have some differences comparedwith other methodsWith regard to model application someliterature studies have applied matching methods to fieldssuch as hospital diagnosis carpool matching job and per-sonnel matching electronic market matching electric powerretailer and buyer matching and technology marketmatching However application in the rental housingmarket is limited From the perspective of model quantifi-cation methods some scholars quantify the satisfactionvalues of the SAD based on fuzzy sets triangular intui-tionistic fuzzy numbers and gray correlation analysis butthese methods do not consider the psychological behavior ofparticipants erefore we quantify the perceived utilityvalue of the SAD sides based on the disappointment theorystarting from the perceptions of the SAD sides which are

results Wang et al [36] used the min-max method and usesLINGO software to solve the matching scheme Althoughthis method is simple and easy to operate it is not suitablefor large-scale two-sided matching problems For the sat-isfaction of both SAD Haaimin [41] ignored the psycho-logical characteristics of misfortunes to avoid losses andmaximize advantages However the current multiattributetwo-sided matching decision model can maximize the sat-isfaction of SAD Meanwhile not only does the geneticalgorithm applied in this study solve the large-scale two-sided matching problem but also has a short running timewhich can quickly and effectively promote effectivematching between SAD

5 Conclusions and Implication

In this study an ORHmultiattribute SADmatching decisionmodel based on the perceived utility is constructed ismodel determines the multiattribute indicators and pro-portions of housing that both SAD sides are interested in Byconsidering the psychological expectations of both SAD inmeasuring the perceived utility values this model maximizesthe overall satisfaction of both SAD Finally using Shang-hairsquos online rental and demand information a genetic al-gorithm is used to numerically analyze and solve the modelwhich not only obtains optimal matching results but alsoproves that the genetic algorithm can solve a large two-sidedmatching problem is model enriches the application ofdouble-sided matching theory and provides a referencemethod for online rental SAD matching At the same timethis model considers that the psychological perceptions ofthe SAD sides can maximize their overall satisfaction andpromote the matching accuracy of the model

In the context of ldquoInternet +rdquo and big data the effectivematching of online rental lists is of great implication forpromoting the effective operation of the rental housingmarket In a theoretical sense this study enriches the re-search on rental housing with particular application forrental platforms providing a new perspective for the de-velopment of rental platforms In addition it can be appliedto the rental housing markets of other cities Objectively themodel improves the effective docking of SAD and improvesthe supply sidersquos efficiency Subjectively the enthusiasm forSAD interaction is realized erefore this study has areference basis for promoting the effective matching ofonline SAD and the improvement of satisfaction of bothSAD

As with any study the article at hand suffers from severallimitations that are worth considering in further researchFirstly the method proposed in this study improves theoverall matching between the SAD but it needs to be furthercompared with other decision-making methods Such as inthe future we will further study to compare it with othermethods that actually produce results Second because theeconomic and social backgrounds of each SAD subject aredifferent the characteristic variables of the SAD matchingdecision model in different cities may be different In thefuture we will adjust the multiattribute equations andquantitative standards according to the characteristics of

different cities In addition the actual practice results shouldbe used to verify the SAD matching decision model indifferent cities to promote the sustainable development ofthe rental housing market

Furthermore in the transaction process of the ORHplatforms the multiattribute expectations of both partiesshould be considered Regardless of the tenants or landlordseach subject considers their own subjectrsquos interests based onmultiple values which will directly or indirectly reflect theexpected value of the property Moreover the supply side ofthe rental housing market should increase the informationsymmetry of SAD subjects to ensure that the information istransparent and open and that the transaction process isstandardized guaranteeing easy access to information forboth parties

Step 6 the optimization model in equation (18) wassolved using a genetic algorithme derived matchingresults are shown in Table 20

As shown in Table 20 all tenants and landlords formedmatching pairs is not only shows matching results thatare satisfactory to both sidesmdashwith an overall satisfactionvalue of the matching results of Z 42374mdashbut also showsan improvement in matching efficiency at is the methodreduces matching costs and time for both SAD ereforethe SAD matching method for ORH proposed in this studycan provide reference to the multiattribute two-sidedmatching decision method and a basis for cracking the ORHSAD matching problem which is characterized by multi-agents and multilevel supply e rationality and effec-tiveness of this method given the multiple attributes ofhousing and both SAD sidesrsquo perceived utility have beenproved in matching the SAD of ORH

In this study a genetic algorithm is used to solve the finalmatching result of the model e population evolutioncurve of the genetic algorithm is shown in Figure 8 Asshown in the figure when the population evolves to 200generations the objective function value reaches the optimalvalue and overall stability In addition the total running timeof the algorithm is 878202 seconds which is very shortWhen the scale of the problem is large it is very feasible toapply genetic algorithms to solve the problem of matchingSAD of online rental housing

42 Discussion

421 Impact of the Weight of SAD During the transactionbetween the SAD sides the weights may not be fair whichmay cause the matching result to be inconsistent with theactual situation To further verify the rationality and com-prehensiveness of the algorithm we verified the weight ofthe SAD double from 0 to 1 respectively As shown inFigure 9 the overall satisfaction of the SAD sides increasedas the weight of the landlord increased but the opposite istrue for the tenants is may be because landlords havefewer housing attributes to consider during the transactionmatching process

422 Impact of the Number of SAD For online housingplatforms the number of SAD sides may be unequal and itmay be a situation where suppliers exceed demanderserefore to further verify the effectiveness of themodel andalgorithm we attempted to calculate a situation in which thesuppliers exceed demanders and added 5 pieces of rentalinformation for calculation It was found that when mle nthe overall satisfaction of both SAD sides became largerZ 43832 which was 01458 higher than the satisfactionvalue when m n is may be caused by some tenantsmatching with more suitable landlords making the satis-faction value higher e influence of the SAD quantities onthe overall satisfaction value Z is shown in Figure 10 Insummary this model is applicable in matching the supplyand demand of ORH

Overall from the analysis of the results the weightsoccupied by the SAD affected the overall satisfaction valuebut had no effect on the final matching result In additionthis model is applicable when the supply is equal to thedemand or the supply is greater than the demandis studyimproves the two-sided matching theory and extends it tothe online leasing market to provide matching efficiencybetween the SAD sides [1]

423 Comparison with Other Methods e method pro-posed in this study may have some differences comparedwith other methodsWith regard to model application someliterature studies have applied matching methods to fieldssuch as hospital diagnosis carpool matching job and per-sonnel matching electronic market matching electric powerretailer and buyer matching and technology marketmatching However application in the rental housingmarket is limited From the perspective of model quantifi-cation methods some scholars quantify the satisfactionvalues of the SAD based on fuzzy sets triangular intui-tionistic fuzzy numbers and gray correlation analysis butthese methods do not consider the psychological behavior ofparticipants erefore we quantify the perceived utilityvalue of the SAD sides based on the disappointment theorystarting from the perceptions of the SAD sides which are

results Wang et al [36] used the min-max method and usesLINGO software to solve the matching scheme Althoughthis method is simple and easy to operate it is not suitablefor large-scale two-sided matching problems For the sat-isfaction of both SAD Haaimin [41] ignored the psycho-logical characteristics of misfortunes to avoid losses andmaximize advantages However the current multiattributetwo-sided matching decision model can maximize the sat-isfaction of SAD Meanwhile not only does the geneticalgorithm applied in this study solve the large-scale two-sided matching problem but also has a short running timewhich can quickly and effectively promote effectivematching between SAD

5 Conclusions and Implication

In this study an ORHmultiattribute SADmatching decisionmodel based on the perceived utility is constructed ismodel determines the multiattribute indicators and pro-portions of housing that both SAD sides are interested in Byconsidering the psychological expectations of both SAD inmeasuring the perceived utility values this model maximizesthe overall satisfaction of both SAD Finally using Shang-hairsquos online rental and demand information a genetic al-gorithm is used to numerically analyze and solve the modelwhich not only obtains optimal matching results but alsoproves that the genetic algorithm can solve a large two-sidedmatching problem is model enriches the application ofdouble-sided matching theory and provides a referencemethod for online rental SAD matching At the same timethis model considers that the psychological perceptions ofthe SAD sides can maximize their overall satisfaction andpromote the matching accuracy of the model

In the context of ldquoInternet +rdquo and big data the effectivematching of online rental lists is of great implication forpromoting the effective operation of the rental housingmarket In a theoretical sense this study enriches the re-search on rental housing with particular application forrental platforms providing a new perspective for the de-velopment of rental platforms In addition it can be appliedto the rental housing markets of other cities Objectively themodel improves the effective docking of SAD and improvesthe supply sidersquos efficiency Subjectively the enthusiasm forSAD interaction is realized erefore this study has areference basis for promoting the effective matching ofonline SAD and the improvement of satisfaction of bothSAD

As with any study the article at hand suffers from severallimitations that are worth considering in further researchFirstly the method proposed in this study improves theoverall matching between the SAD but it needs to be furthercompared with other decision-making methods Such as inthe future we will further study to compare it with othermethods that actually produce results Second because theeconomic and social backgrounds of each SAD subject aredifferent the characteristic variables of the SAD matchingdecision model in different cities may be different In thefuture we will adjust the multiattribute equations andquantitative standards according to the characteristics of

different cities In addition the actual practice results shouldbe used to verify the SAD matching decision model indifferent cities to promote the sustainable development ofthe rental housing market

Furthermore in the transaction process of the ORHplatforms the multiattribute expectations of both partiesshould be considered Regardless of the tenants or landlordseach subject considers their own subjectrsquos interests based onmultiple values which will directly or indirectly reflect theexpected value of the property Moreover the supply side ofthe rental housing market should increase the informationsymmetry of SAD subjects to ensure that the information istransparent and open and that the transaction process isstandardized guaranteeing easy access to information forboth parties

Step 6 the optimization model in equation (18) wassolved using a genetic algorithme derived matchingresults are shown in Table 20

As shown in Table 20 all tenants and landlords formedmatching pairs is not only shows matching results thatare satisfactory to both sidesmdashwith an overall satisfactionvalue of the matching results of Z 42374mdashbut also showsan improvement in matching efficiency at is the methodreduces matching costs and time for both SAD ereforethe SAD matching method for ORH proposed in this studycan provide reference to the multiattribute two-sidedmatching decision method and a basis for cracking the ORHSAD matching problem which is characterized by multi-agents and multilevel supply e rationality and effec-tiveness of this method given the multiple attributes ofhousing and both SAD sidesrsquo perceived utility have beenproved in matching the SAD of ORH

In this study a genetic algorithm is used to solve the finalmatching result of the model e population evolutioncurve of the genetic algorithm is shown in Figure 8 Asshown in the figure when the population evolves to 200generations the objective function value reaches the optimalvalue and overall stability In addition the total running timeof the algorithm is 878202 seconds which is very shortWhen the scale of the problem is large it is very feasible toapply genetic algorithms to solve the problem of matchingSAD of online rental housing

42 Discussion

421 Impact of the Weight of SAD During the transactionbetween the SAD sides the weights may not be fair whichmay cause the matching result to be inconsistent with theactual situation To further verify the rationality and com-prehensiveness of the algorithm we verified the weight ofthe SAD double from 0 to 1 respectively As shown inFigure 9 the overall satisfaction of the SAD sides increasedas the weight of the landlord increased but the opposite istrue for the tenants is may be because landlords havefewer housing attributes to consider during the transactionmatching process

422 Impact of the Number of SAD For online housingplatforms the number of SAD sides may be unequal and itmay be a situation where suppliers exceed demanderserefore to further verify the effectiveness of themodel andalgorithm we attempted to calculate a situation in which thesuppliers exceed demanders and added 5 pieces of rentalinformation for calculation It was found that when mle nthe overall satisfaction of both SAD sides became largerZ 43832 which was 01458 higher than the satisfactionvalue when m n is may be caused by some tenantsmatching with more suitable landlords making the satis-faction value higher e influence of the SAD quantities onthe overall satisfaction value Z is shown in Figure 10 Insummary this model is applicable in matching the supplyand demand of ORH

Overall from the analysis of the results the weightsoccupied by the SAD affected the overall satisfaction valuebut had no effect on the final matching result In additionthis model is applicable when the supply is equal to thedemand or the supply is greater than the demandis studyimproves the two-sided matching theory and extends it tothe online leasing market to provide matching efficiencybetween the SAD sides [1]

results Wang et al [36] used the min-max method and usesLINGO software to solve the matching scheme Althoughthis method is simple and easy to operate it is not suitablefor large-scale two-sided matching problems For the sat-isfaction of both SAD Haaimin [41] ignored the psycho-logical characteristics of misfortunes to avoid losses andmaximize advantages However the current multiattributetwo-sided matching decision model can maximize the sat-isfaction of SAD Meanwhile not only does the geneticalgorithm applied in this study solve the large-scale two-sided matching problem but also has a short running timewhich can quickly and effectively promote effectivematching between SAD

5 Conclusions and Implication

In this study an ORHmultiattribute SADmatching decisionmodel based on the perceived utility is constructed ismodel determines the multiattribute indicators and pro-portions of housing that both SAD sides are interested in Byconsidering the psychological expectations of both SAD inmeasuring the perceived utility values this model maximizesthe overall satisfaction of both SAD Finally using Shang-hairsquos online rental and demand information a genetic al-gorithm is used to numerically analyze and solve the modelwhich not only obtains optimal matching results but alsoproves that the genetic algorithm can solve a large two-sidedmatching problem is model enriches the application ofdouble-sided matching theory and provides a referencemethod for online rental SAD matching At the same timethis model considers that the psychological perceptions ofthe SAD sides can maximize their overall satisfaction andpromote the matching accuracy of the model

In the context of ldquoInternet +rdquo and big data the effectivematching of online rental lists is of great implication forpromoting the effective operation of the rental housingmarket In a theoretical sense this study enriches the re-search on rental housing with particular application forrental platforms providing a new perspective for the de-velopment of rental platforms In addition it can be appliedto the rental housing markets of other cities Objectively themodel improves the effective docking of SAD and improvesthe supply sidersquos efficiency Subjectively the enthusiasm forSAD interaction is realized erefore this study has areference basis for promoting the effective matching ofonline SAD and the improvement of satisfaction of bothSAD

As with any study the article at hand suffers from severallimitations that are worth considering in further researchFirstly the method proposed in this study improves theoverall matching between the SAD but it needs to be furthercompared with other decision-making methods Such as inthe future we will further study to compare it with othermethods that actually produce results Second because theeconomic and social backgrounds of each SAD subject aredifferent the characteristic variables of the SAD matchingdecision model in different cities may be different In thefuture we will adjust the multiattribute equations andquantitative standards according to the characteristics of

different cities In addition the actual practice results shouldbe used to verify the SAD matching decision model indifferent cities to promote the sustainable development ofthe rental housing market

Furthermore in the transaction process of the ORHplatforms the multiattribute expectations of both partiesshould be considered Regardless of the tenants or landlordseach subject considers their own subjectrsquos interests based onmultiple values which will directly or indirectly reflect theexpected value of the property Moreover the supply side ofthe rental housing market should increase the informationsymmetry of SAD subjects to ensure that the information istransparent and open and that the transaction process isstandardized guaranteeing easy access to information forboth parties

Step 6 the optimization model in equation (18) wassolved using a genetic algorithme derived matchingresults are shown in Table 20

As shown in Table 20 all tenants and landlords formedmatching pairs is not only shows matching results thatare satisfactory to both sidesmdashwith an overall satisfactionvalue of the matching results of Z 42374mdashbut also showsan improvement in matching efficiency at is the methodreduces matching costs and time for both SAD ereforethe SAD matching method for ORH proposed in this studycan provide reference to the multiattribute two-sidedmatching decision method and a basis for cracking the ORHSAD matching problem which is characterized by multi-agents and multilevel supply e rationality and effec-tiveness of this method given the multiple attributes ofhousing and both SAD sidesrsquo perceived utility have beenproved in matching the SAD of ORH

In this study a genetic algorithm is used to solve the finalmatching result of the model e population evolutioncurve of the genetic algorithm is shown in Figure 8 Asshown in the figure when the population evolves to 200generations the objective function value reaches the optimalvalue and overall stability In addition the total running timeof the algorithm is 878202 seconds which is very shortWhen the scale of the problem is large it is very feasible toapply genetic algorithms to solve the problem of matchingSAD of online rental housing

42 Discussion

421 Impact of the Weight of SAD During the transactionbetween the SAD sides the weights may not be fair whichmay cause the matching result to be inconsistent with theactual situation To further verify the rationality and com-prehensiveness of the algorithm we verified the weight ofthe SAD double from 0 to 1 respectively As shown inFigure 9 the overall satisfaction of the SAD sides increasedas the weight of the landlord increased but the opposite istrue for the tenants is may be because landlords havefewer housing attributes to consider during the transactionmatching process

422 Impact of the Number of SAD For online housingplatforms the number of SAD sides may be unequal and itmay be a situation where suppliers exceed demanderserefore to further verify the effectiveness of themodel andalgorithm we attempted to calculate a situation in which thesuppliers exceed demanders and added 5 pieces of rentalinformation for calculation It was found that when mle nthe overall satisfaction of both SAD sides became largerZ 43832 which was 01458 higher than the satisfactionvalue when m n is may be caused by some tenantsmatching with more suitable landlords making the satis-faction value higher e influence of the SAD quantities onthe overall satisfaction value Z is shown in Figure 10 Insummary this model is applicable in matching the supplyand demand of ORH

Overall from the analysis of the results the weightsoccupied by the SAD affected the overall satisfaction valuebut had no effect on the final matching result In additionthis model is applicable when the supply is equal to thedemand or the supply is greater than the demandis studyimproves the two-sided matching theory and extends it tothe online leasing market to provide matching efficiencybetween the SAD sides [1]

423 Comparison with Other Methods e method pro-posed in this study may have some differences comparedwith other methodsWith regard to model application someliterature studies have applied matching methods to fieldssuch as hospital diagnosis carpool matching job and per-sonnel matching electronic market matching electric powerretailer and buyer matching and technology marketmatching However application in the rental housingmarket is limited From the perspective of model quantifi-cation methods some scholars quantify the satisfactionvalues of the SAD based on fuzzy sets triangular intui-tionistic fuzzy numbers and gray correlation analysis butthese methods do not consider the psychological behavior ofparticipants erefore we quantify the perceived utilityvalue of the SAD sides based on the disappointment theorystarting from the perceptions of the SAD sides which are

results Wang et al [36] used the min-max method and usesLINGO software to solve the matching scheme Althoughthis method is simple and easy to operate it is not suitablefor large-scale two-sided matching problems For the sat-isfaction of both SAD Haaimin [41] ignored the psycho-logical characteristics of misfortunes to avoid losses andmaximize advantages However the current multiattributetwo-sided matching decision model can maximize the sat-isfaction of SAD Meanwhile not only does the geneticalgorithm applied in this study solve the large-scale two-sided matching problem but also has a short running timewhich can quickly and effectively promote effectivematching between SAD

5 Conclusions and Implication

In this study an ORHmultiattribute SADmatching decisionmodel based on the perceived utility is constructed ismodel determines the multiattribute indicators and pro-portions of housing that both SAD sides are interested in Byconsidering the psychological expectations of both SAD inmeasuring the perceived utility values this model maximizesthe overall satisfaction of both SAD Finally using Shang-hairsquos online rental and demand information a genetic al-gorithm is used to numerically analyze and solve the modelwhich not only obtains optimal matching results but alsoproves that the genetic algorithm can solve a large two-sidedmatching problem is model enriches the application ofdouble-sided matching theory and provides a referencemethod for online rental SAD matching At the same timethis model considers that the psychological perceptions ofthe SAD sides can maximize their overall satisfaction andpromote the matching accuracy of the model

In the context of ldquoInternet +rdquo and big data the effectivematching of online rental lists is of great implication forpromoting the effective operation of the rental housingmarket In a theoretical sense this study enriches the re-search on rental housing with particular application forrental platforms providing a new perspective for the de-velopment of rental platforms In addition it can be appliedto the rental housing markets of other cities Objectively themodel improves the effective docking of SAD and improvesthe supply sidersquos efficiency Subjectively the enthusiasm forSAD interaction is realized erefore this study has areference basis for promoting the effective matching ofonline SAD and the improvement of satisfaction of bothSAD

As with any study the article at hand suffers from severallimitations that are worth considering in further researchFirstly the method proposed in this study improves theoverall matching between the SAD but it needs to be furthercompared with other decision-making methods Such as inthe future we will further study to compare it with othermethods that actually produce results Second because theeconomic and social backgrounds of each SAD subject aredifferent the characteristic variables of the SAD matchingdecision model in different cities may be different In thefuture we will adjust the multiattribute equations andquantitative standards according to the characteristics of

different cities In addition the actual practice results shouldbe used to verify the SAD matching decision model indifferent cities to promote the sustainable development ofthe rental housing market

Furthermore in the transaction process of the ORHplatforms the multiattribute expectations of both partiesshould be considered Regardless of the tenants or landlordseach subject considers their own subjectrsquos interests based onmultiple values which will directly or indirectly reflect theexpected value of the property Moreover the supply side ofthe rental housing market should increase the informationsymmetry of SAD subjects to ensure that the information istransparent and open and that the transaction process isstandardized guaranteeing easy access to information forboth parties

Step 6 the optimization model in equation (18) wassolved using a genetic algorithme derived matchingresults are shown in Table 20

As shown in Table 20 all tenants and landlords formedmatching pairs is not only shows matching results thatare satisfactory to both sidesmdashwith an overall satisfactionvalue of the matching results of Z 42374mdashbut also showsan improvement in matching efficiency at is the methodreduces matching costs and time for both SAD ereforethe SAD matching method for ORH proposed in this studycan provide reference to the multiattribute two-sidedmatching decision method and a basis for cracking the ORHSAD matching problem which is characterized by multi-agents and multilevel supply e rationality and effec-tiveness of this method given the multiple attributes ofhousing and both SAD sidesrsquo perceived utility have beenproved in matching the SAD of ORH

In this study a genetic algorithm is used to solve the finalmatching result of the model e population evolutioncurve of the genetic algorithm is shown in Figure 8 Asshown in the figure when the population evolves to 200generations the objective function value reaches the optimalvalue and overall stability In addition the total running timeof the algorithm is 878202 seconds which is very shortWhen the scale of the problem is large it is very feasible toapply genetic algorithms to solve the problem of matchingSAD of online rental housing

42 Discussion

421 Impact of the Weight of SAD During the transactionbetween the SAD sides the weights may not be fair whichmay cause the matching result to be inconsistent with theactual situation To further verify the rationality and com-prehensiveness of the algorithm we verified the weight ofthe SAD double from 0 to 1 respectively As shown inFigure 9 the overall satisfaction of the SAD sides increasedas the weight of the landlord increased but the opposite istrue for the tenants is may be because landlords havefewer housing attributes to consider during the transactionmatching process

422 Impact of the Number of SAD For online housingplatforms the number of SAD sides may be unequal and itmay be a situation where suppliers exceed demanderserefore to further verify the effectiveness of themodel andalgorithm we attempted to calculate a situation in which thesuppliers exceed demanders and added 5 pieces of rentalinformation for calculation It was found that when mle nthe overall satisfaction of both SAD sides became largerZ 43832 which was 01458 higher than the satisfactionvalue when m n is may be caused by some tenantsmatching with more suitable landlords making the satis-faction value higher e influence of the SAD quantities onthe overall satisfaction value Z is shown in Figure 10 Insummary this model is applicable in matching the supplyand demand of ORH

Overall from the analysis of the results the weightsoccupied by the SAD affected the overall satisfaction valuebut had no effect on the final matching result In additionthis model is applicable when the supply is equal to thedemand or the supply is greater than the demandis studyimproves the two-sided matching theory and extends it tothe online leasing market to provide matching efficiencybetween the SAD sides [1]

results Wang et al [36] used the min-max method and usesLINGO software to solve the matching scheme Althoughthis method is simple and easy to operate it is not suitablefor large-scale two-sided matching problems For the sat-isfaction of both SAD Haaimin [41] ignored the psycho-logical characteristics of misfortunes to avoid losses andmaximize advantages However the current multiattributetwo-sided matching decision model can maximize the sat-isfaction of SAD Meanwhile not only does the geneticalgorithm applied in this study solve the large-scale two-sided matching problem but also has a short running timewhich can quickly and effectively promote effectivematching between SAD

5 Conclusions and Implication

In this study an ORHmultiattribute SADmatching decisionmodel based on the perceived utility is constructed ismodel determines the multiattribute indicators and pro-portions of housing that both SAD sides are interested in Byconsidering the psychological expectations of both SAD inmeasuring the perceived utility values this model maximizesthe overall satisfaction of both SAD Finally using Shang-hairsquos online rental and demand information a genetic al-gorithm is used to numerically analyze and solve the modelwhich not only obtains optimal matching results but alsoproves that the genetic algorithm can solve a large two-sidedmatching problem is model enriches the application ofdouble-sided matching theory and provides a referencemethod for online rental SAD matching At the same timethis model considers that the psychological perceptions ofthe SAD sides can maximize their overall satisfaction andpromote the matching accuracy of the model

In the context of ldquoInternet +rdquo and big data the effectivematching of online rental lists is of great implication forpromoting the effective operation of the rental housingmarket In a theoretical sense this study enriches the re-search on rental housing with particular application forrental platforms providing a new perspective for the de-velopment of rental platforms In addition it can be appliedto the rental housing markets of other cities Objectively themodel improves the effective docking of SAD and improvesthe supply sidersquos efficiency Subjectively the enthusiasm forSAD interaction is realized erefore this study has areference basis for promoting the effective matching ofonline SAD and the improvement of satisfaction of bothSAD

As with any study the article at hand suffers from severallimitations that are worth considering in further researchFirstly the method proposed in this study improves theoverall matching between the SAD but it needs to be furthercompared with other decision-making methods Such as inthe future we will further study to compare it with othermethods that actually produce results Second because theeconomic and social backgrounds of each SAD subject aredifferent the characteristic variables of the SAD matchingdecision model in different cities may be different In thefuture we will adjust the multiattribute equations andquantitative standards according to the characteristics of

different cities In addition the actual practice results shouldbe used to verify the SAD matching decision model indifferent cities to promote the sustainable development ofthe rental housing market

Furthermore in the transaction process of the ORHplatforms the multiattribute expectations of both partiesshould be considered Regardless of the tenants or landlordseach subject considers their own subjectrsquos interests based onmultiple values which will directly or indirectly reflect theexpected value of the property Moreover the supply side ofthe rental housing market should increase the informationsymmetry of SAD subjects to ensure that the information istransparent and open and that the transaction process isstandardized guaranteeing easy access to information forboth parties

results Wang et al [36] used the min-max method and usesLINGO software to solve the matching scheme Althoughthis method is simple and easy to operate it is not suitablefor large-scale two-sided matching problems For the sat-isfaction of both SAD Haaimin [41] ignored the psycho-logical characteristics of misfortunes to avoid losses andmaximize advantages However the current multiattributetwo-sided matching decision model can maximize the sat-isfaction of SAD Meanwhile not only does the geneticalgorithm applied in this study solve the large-scale two-sided matching problem but also has a short running timewhich can quickly and effectively promote effectivematching between SAD

5 Conclusions and Implication

In this study an ORHmultiattribute SADmatching decisionmodel based on the perceived utility is constructed ismodel determines the multiattribute indicators and pro-portions of housing that both SAD sides are interested in Byconsidering the psychological expectations of both SAD inmeasuring the perceived utility values this model maximizesthe overall satisfaction of both SAD Finally using Shang-hairsquos online rental and demand information a genetic al-gorithm is used to numerically analyze and solve the modelwhich not only obtains optimal matching results but alsoproves that the genetic algorithm can solve a large two-sidedmatching problem is model enriches the application ofdouble-sided matching theory and provides a referencemethod for online rental SAD matching At the same timethis model considers that the psychological perceptions ofthe SAD sides can maximize their overall satisfaction andpromote the matching accuracy of the model

In the context of ldquoInternet +rdquo and big data the effectivematching of online rental lists is of great implication forpromoting the effective operation of the rental housingmarket In a theoretical sense this study enriches the re-search on rental housing with particular application forrental platforms providing a new perspective for the de-velopment of rental platforms In addition it can be appliedto the rental housing markets of other cities Objectively themodel improves the effective docking of SAD and improvesthe supply sidersquos efficiency Subjectively the enthusiasm forSAD interaction is realized erefore this study has areference basis for promoting the effective matching ofonline SAD and the improvement of satisfaction of bothSAD

As with any study the article at hand suffers from severallimitations that are worth considering in further researchFirstly the method proposed in this study improves theoverall matching between the SAD but it needs to be furthercompared with other decision-making methods Such as inthe future we will further study to compare it with othermethods that actually produce results Second because theeconomic and social backgrounds of each SAD subject aredifferent the characteristic variables of the SAD matchingdecision model in different cities may be different In thefuture we will adjust the multiattribute equations andquantitative standards according to the characteristics of

different cities In addition the actual practice results shouldbe used to verify the SAD matching decision model indifferent cities to promote the sustainable development ofthe rental housing market

Furthermore in the transaction process of the ORHplatforms the multiattribute expectations of both partiesshould be considered Regardless of the tenants or landlordseach subject considers their own subjectrsquos interests based onmultiple values which will directly or indirectly reflect theexpected value of the property Moreover the supply side ofthe rental housing market should increase the informationsymmetry of SAD subjects to ensure that the information istransparent and open and that the transaction process isstandardized guaranteeing easy access to information forboth parties

results Wang et al [36] used the min-max method and usesLINGO software to solve the matching scheme Althoughthis method is simple and easy to operate it is not suitablefor large-scale two-sided matching problems For the sat-isfaction of both SAD Haaimin [41] ignored the psycho-logical characteristics of misfortunes to avoid losses andmaximize advantages However the current multiattributetwo-sided matching decision model can maximize the sat-isfaction of SAD Meanwhile not only does the geneticalgorithm applied in this study solve the large-scale two-sided matching problem but also has a short running timewhich can quickly and effectively promote effectivematching between SAD

5 Conclusions and Implication

In this study an ORHmultiattribute SADmatching decisionmodel based on the perceived utility is constructed ismodel determines the multiattribute indicators and pro-portions of housing that both SAD sides are interested in Byconsidering the psychological expectations of both SAD inmeasuring the perceived utility values this model maximizesthe overall satisfaction of both SAD Finally using Shang-hairsquos online rental and demand information a genetic al-gorithm is used to numerically analyze and solve the modelwhich not only obtains optimal matching results but alsoproves that the genetic algorithm can solve a large two-sidedmatching problem is model enriches the application ofdouble-sided matching theory and provides a referencemethod for online rental SAD matching At the same timethis model considers that the psychological perceptions ofthe SAD sides can maximize their overall satisfaction andpromote the matching accuracy of the model

In the context of ldquoInternet +rdquo and big data the effectivematching of online rental lists is of great implication forpromoting the effective operation of the rental housingmarket In a theoretical sense this study enriches the re-search on rental housing with particular application forrental platforms providing a new perspective for the de-velopment of rental platforms In addition it can be appliedto the rental housing markets of other cities Objectively themodel improves the effective docking of SAD and improvesthe supply sidersquos efficiency Subjectively the enthusiasm forSAD interaction is realized erefore this study has areference basis for promoting the effective matching ofonline SAD and the improvement of satisfaction of bothSAD

As with any study the article at hand suffers from severallimitations that are worth considering in further researchFirstly the method proposed in this study improves theoverall matching between the SAD but it needs to be furthercompared with other decision-making methods Such as inthe future we will further study to compare it with othermethods that actually produce results Second because theeconomic and social backgrounds of each SAD subject aredifferent the characteristic variables of the SAD matchingdecision model in different cities may be different In thefuture we will adjust the multiattribute equations andquantitative standards according to the characteristics of

different cities In addition the actual practice results shouldbe used to verify the SAD matching decision model indifferent cities to promote the sustainable development ofthe rental housing market

Furthermore in the transaction process of the ORHplatforms the multiattribute expectations of both partiesshould be considered Regardless of the tenants or landlordseach subject considers their own subjectrsquos interests based onmultiple values which will directly or indirectly reflect theexpected value of the property Moreover the supply side ofthe rental housing market should increase the informationsymmetry of SAD subjects to ensure that the information istransparent and open and that the transaction process isstandardized guaranteeing easy access to information forboth parties

results Wang et al [36] used the min-max method and usesLINGO software to solve the matching scheme Althoughthis method is simple and easy to operate it is not suitablefor large-scale two-sided matching problems For the sat-isfaction of both SAD Haaimin [41] ignored the psycho-logical characteristics of misfortunes to avoid losses andmaximize advantages However the current multiattributetwo-sided matching decision model can maximize the sat-isfaction of SAD Meanwhile not only does the geneticalgorithm applied in this study solve the large-scale two-sided matching problem but also has a short running timewhich can quickly and effectively promote effectivematching between SAD

5 Conclusions and Implication

In this study an ORHmultiattribute SADmatching decisionmodel based on the perceived utility is constructed ismodel determines the multiattribute indicators and pro-portions of housing that both SAD sides are interested in Byconsidering the psychological expectations of both SAD inmeasuring the perceived utility values this model maximizesthe overall satisfaction of both SAD Finally using Shang-hairsquos online rental and demand information a genetic al-gorithm is used to numerically analyze and solve the modelwhich not only obtains optimal matching results but alsoproves that the genetic algorithm can solve a large two-sidedmatching problem is model enriches the application ofdouble-sided matching theory and provides a referencemethod for online rental SAD matching At the same timethis model considers that the psychological perceptions ofthe SAD sides can maximize their overall satisfaction andpromote the matching accuracy of the model

In the context of ldquoInternet +rdquo and big data the effectivematching of online rental lists is of great implication forpromoting the effective operation of the rental housingmarket In a theoretical sense this study enriches the re-search on rental housing with particular application forrental platforms providing a new perspective for the de-velopment of rental platforms In addition it can be appliedto the rental housing markets of other cities Objectively themodel improves the effective docking of SAD and improvesthe supply sidersquos efficiency Subjectively the enthusiasm forSAD interaction is realized erefore this study has areference basis for promoting the effective matching ofonline SAD and the improvement of satisfaction of bothSAD

As with any study the article at hand suffers from severallimitations that are worth considering in further researchFirstly the method proposed in this study improves theoverall matching between the SAD but it needs to be furthercompared with other decision-making methods Such as inthe future we will further study to compare it with othermethods that actually produce results Second because theeconomic and social backgrounds of each SAD subject aredifferent the characteristic variables of the SAD matchingdecision model in different cities may be different In thefuture we will adjust the multiattribute equations andquantitative standards according to the characteristics of

different cities In addition the actual practice results shouldbe used to verify the SAD matching decision model indifferent cities to promote the sustainable development ofthe rental housing market

Furthermore in the transaction process of the ORHplatforms the multiattribute expectations of both partiesshould be considered Regardless of the tenants or landlordseach subject considers their own subjectrsquos interests based onmultiple values which will directly or indirectly reflect theexpected value of the property Moreover the supply side ofthe rental housing market should increase the informationsymmetry of SAD subjects to ensure that the information istransparent and open and that the transaction process isstandardized guaranteeing easy access to information forboth parties

Page 19: Multiattribute Supply and Demand Matching Decision Model

results Wang et al [36] used the min-max method and usesLINGO software to solve the matching scheme Althoughthis method is simple and easy to operate it is not suitablefor large-scale two-sided matching problems For the sat-isfaction of both SAD Haaimin [41] ignored the psycho-logical characteristics of misfortunes to avoid losses andmaximize advantages However the current multiattributetwo-sided matching decision model can maximize the sat-isfaction of SAD Meanwhile not only does the geneticalgorithm applied in this study solve the large-scale two-sided matching problem but also has a short running timewhich can quickly and effectively promote effectivematching between SAD

5 Conclusions and Implication

In this study an ORHmultiattribute SADmatching decisionmodel based on the perceived utility is constructed ismodel determines the multiattribute indicators and pro-portions of housing that both SAD sides are interested in Byconsidering the psychological expectations of both SAD inmeasuring the perceived utility values this model maximizesthe overall satisfaction of both SAD Finally using Shang-hairsquos online rental and demand information a genetic al-gorithm is used to numerically analyze and solve the modelwhich not only obtains optimal matching results but alsoproves that the genetic algorithm can solve a large two-sidedmatching problem is model enriches the application ofdouble-sided matching theory and provides a referencemethod for online rental SAD matching At the same timethis model considers that the psychological perceptions ofthe SAD sides can maximize their overall satisfaction andpromote the matching accuracy of the model

In the context of ldquoInternet +rdquo and big data the effectivematching of online rental lists is of great implication forpromoting the effective operation of the rental housingmarket In a theoretical sense this study enriches the re-search on rental housing with particular application forrental platforms providing a new perspective for the de-velopment of rental platforms In addition it can be appliedto the rental housing markets of other cities Objectively themodel improves the effective docking of SAD and improvesthe supply sidersquos efficiency Subjectively the enthusiasm forSAD interaction is realized erefore this study has areference basis for promoting the effective matching ofonline SAD and the improvement of satisfaction of bothSAD

As with any study the article at hand suffers from severallimitations that are worth considering in further researchFirstly the method proposed in this study improves theoverall matching between the SAD but it needs to be furthercompared with other decision-making methods Such as inthe future we will further study to compare it with othermethods that actually produce results Second because theeconomic and social backgrounds of each SAD subject aredifferent the characteristic variables of the SAD matchingdecision model in different cities may be different In thefuture we will adjust the multiattribute equations andquantitative standards according to the characteristics of

different cities In addition the actual practice results shouldbe used to verify the SAD matching decision model indifferent cities to promote the sustainable development ofthe rental housing market

Furthermore in the transaction process of the ORHplatforms the multiattribute expectations of both partiesshould be considered Regardless of the tenants or landlordseach subject considers their own subjectrsquos interests based onmultiple values which will directly or indirectly reflect theexpected value of the property Moreover the supply side ofthe rental housing market should increase the informationsymmetry of SAD subjects to ensure that the information istransparent and open and that the transaction process isstandardized guaranteeing easy access to information forboth parties
