Abstract: In the “2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development” proposed by the United Nations, there are several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to the sustainable development of urbanization. Therefore, this paper combines remote sensing products and statistics data; uses the entropy weight method to construct a comprehensive assessment framework for the sustainable development of urbanization in Hainan Island based on 11 SDGs; and conducts a spatial and temporal analysis of Hainan Island from 2011 to 2020. The assessment scores of the study area are distributed spatially in a pattern that scores high in the north and south and low in the middle and west. In terms of SDGs’ progress, each region faces its own challenges and needs to develop under its own status. For Wuzhishan City and Ding’an County, which scored low in the assessment, newly increased fixed assets, per capita public green areas and the rate of science and technology expenditures to local government expenditures are the main factors affecting the assessment scores.
