Abstract:

This paper conducted investigation and evaluation of light pollution status quo in Macau applying a research method combining qualitative and quantitative analysis. Obtaining general information of city light environment and ensuring main source of light pollution via questionnaire, the research selected different types of city areas and nightscape light source, measured and assessed ambient light and nightscape illuminating brightness degree respectively, referring to relevant domestic and overseas specification and guidelines.
