AB  - Sustainable development of rural has become an essential global plan. Habitat 
      sustainability assessment of rural is a critical management tool to grasp the 
      development status of rural in real-time and enable dynamic adjustment of 
      policies. This paper combines the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with 
      the entropy weight method, TOPSIS, and grey correlation analysis to construct a 
      multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) evaluation model, which is finally used to 
      assess the sustainability of the rural human settlement environment. Finally, 
      this paper uses the rural of 11 prefecture-level cities in Zhejiang Province in 
      2021 as a case study for rural human settlement environment sustainability 
      evaluation. The results show that the overall rural human settlement environment 
      sustainability level in Zhejiang Province is better than in most regions in 
      China. Hangzhou has the best rural human settlement environment sustainability, 
      and Zhoushan has the worst. In addition, the production environment factor is the 
      critical factor that constrains sustainability. The study results provide 
      references and guidance to policymakers for sustainable development initiatives.
