This study examines the Beixiazhu Resettlement Community in Yiwu, China, as a case study to explore the impact of economic development on the living environment of rural resettlement communities. The research reveals that Beixiazhu has developed a "commercial-residential integration" model driven by e-commerce industries. While this model has boosted residents' income and attracted a younger workforce, it has also led to environmental challenges, including insufficient green spaces, traffic congestion, encroachment on public areas, inefficient logistics services, rising rents that displace low-income groups, and ecological degradation. Questionnaire surveys and ANOVA tests confirm that residents across different age and gender groups share similar perceptions of these impacts. The study concludes that balancing industrial development with living environment quality is essential for the community's sustainable development.
