Abstract

The continuous development of industry and the advancement of urbanization have brought economic progress as well as a series of environmental problems. In recent years, haze has become one of the most important environmental issues affecting the production, lives, and health of Chinese residents. The Chinese government attaches great importance to haze pollution control and prevention. This article intends to explore the urban residents’ perception of haze and find out the influence of haze on various aspects of lives. Firstly, thirteen indicators are carefully conducted to assess the effects of haze. Secondly, the normal distribution-based weighting method and analytic hierarchy process (AHP) are introduced to assess the haze effects in Nanjing. Finally, we discuss the results of the study and give some policy recommendations.
