A Study on the Index System for Evaluating Low Carbon Economy of Resource-Based Region Based on AHP

Abstract:

In accordance with the principles and AHP method, this research proposed an evaluation index system which is appropriate for resource based regions. The index system includes four modules---low carbon industry module, low carbon society module, low carbon environment module, low carbon technology module and characteristics of resource module that contains 23 specific indicators. Then it applied the system to three typical resource-based regions--Inner Mongolia Province, Shanxi Province, Heilongjiang Province. Lastly, according to the work above, this article put forward proposals that could do help to develop low-carbon economy of resource-based regions. They are expanding the industrial chain as well as industry exit mechanism, establishing mechanisms for cooperation among the resource-based regions to develop and apply low carbon technologies actively and adjusting income distribution system to reducing the income gap between urban and rural areas of resource-based regions.
