“…At present, there is no concept of a zero-pollution village outside China; the similar concept of an eco-village is different from that in China, as its association with rural areas and agriculture is relatively weak. Whether in urban or rural areas, residential clusters based on low energy consumption and green ecological concepts can be referred to as "eco-villages" [9]. This concept was first formally introduced by G. Robert in 1991, who systematically described the challenges and development problems faced by eco-villages [10].…”

“…According to the Global Ecovillage Network, a representative organization of the International Ecovillage Movement was established in 1995, and as of now, there have been more than 1000 registered eco-villages worldwide [11], e.g., Earthaven Eco-Village in the United States, Crystal Waters Eco-Village in Australia, Gaia Eco-Village in Argentina, and Munkesoegaard Eco-Village in Denmark [12]. These cases indicate that eco-villages are a new type of ecological community that advocates for sustainable development in ecology, economy, culture, and society, with a core concept of a low environmental impact [9].…”

With the implementation of China’s rural revitalization strategy, the construction of low-pollution villages has become an urgent demand for rural residents to achieve an ecologically livable environment. This paper aims to construct a new evaluation system for a “zero-pollution village” inspired by the principle of CASBEE. A village is regarded as a relatively independent ecosystem, and the evaluation system is designed to improve the “internal environmental quality Q” of a village while reducing the “external environmental load L”. Thus, the evaluation system included two target strata (Q and L) and 3 layers comprising 6 criteria layers, 21 sub-criteria layers, and 76 indicators in the indicator layers. A new combined weight method based on FAHP-TOPSIS was presented to determine the weights of each layer of indicators. After verifying the evaluation system by applying it to 3 representative villages, 26 villages in Zhejiang Province were evaluated. These results indicate that the evaluation system was effective for evaluating the construction of a zero-pollution village. The current village environment in Zhejiang Province has been significantly improved; however, the vast majority of villages have not yet reached the zero-pollution standard.
