Abstract

This study, taking the connotation of consumption structures for the point cut and combining the concepts of information entropy and an analysis of its meaning, the paper discusses the introduction of information entropy into energy consumption structures. Under the influences of energy occurrence conditions and levels of economic development, there are often large differences among food consumption structures of urban residents in different regions; it is difficult to measure the structure evolution by using a specific index.

Keywords:

Food consumption structures, information entropy, urban residents,
