Man-Water Harmony Index and its Calculation Model

Article Preview

Abstract:

Based on the ancient harmony idea, using the system theory, the man-water harmony index was brought up. It describes the harmonious level between man and water in cities. It quantitatively reflects the coordinating relationship between the water system and man city system of certain cities in certain periods. Improved Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation( IFCE), Improved Grey Relational Analysis(IGRA) and Analytic Network Process(ANP)are comprehensively used in calculating the man-water harmony index,building the IFCE-IGRA-ANP model. The index can be effectively used in sustainable development evaluations and water convervancy construction planning of modern cities.
