Subject reviewAiming at exploring the ecological effect of high-speed railway construction and operation, this paper establishes a green ecological assessment index system based on the concept of sustainable development, and sets up a green ecological assessment model based on unascertained measure and AHP. During the assessment process, the author firstly constructs the unascertained judgment matrix by introducing the unascertained theory, secondly determines index classification weight by AHP, and thirdly identifies the green grade according to the confidence criterion. On this basis, the author defines the green assessment grades. Then, the author carries out green ecological assessment of Beijing-Shanghai HighSpeed Railway (Xuzhou-Shanghai Section). The ecological score is 7.0089 and the resulting color is turquoise, which is consistent with the concept of sustainable development. The result shows that it is feasible to combine the unascertained measure and AHP into an ecological assessment method for high-speed railway construction project.Keywords: AHP; green ecology; high-speed railway construction project; sustainable development; unascertained measure Analiza zelene ekološke procjene brzovozeće željeznice primjenom neutvrđene mjere i AHP Pregledni članak U svrhu istraživanja ekološkog učinka konstrukcije i funkcioniranja brzovozeće željeznice, u radu se postavlja sustav određivanja indeksa zelene ekološke procjene na temelju koncepta održivog razvoja te se postavlja model ekološke procjene na osnovu neutvrđene mjere i AHP. U tom postupku autor najprije konstruira matricu neutvrđene procjene uvodeći neutvrđenu teoriju, zatim određuje težinu indeksa klasifikacije primjenom AHP, a kao treće određuje ekološki stupanj u skladu s kriterijem povjerenja. Na toj osnovi autor definira stupnjeve ekološke procjene. Zatim autor daje zelenu ekološku procjenu za željeznicu Beijing-Shanghai (dio Xuzhou-Shanghai). Ekološki omjer je 7.0089 a rezultirajuća boja je tirkizna, što je u skladu s konceptom održivog razvoja. Rezultat pokazuje da je izvodivo kombinirati neutvrđenu mjeru i AHP u metodi ekološke procjene za projekt izgradnje brzovozeće željeznice.Ključne riječi: AHP; neutvrđena mjera; održivi razvoj; projekt izgradnje brzovozeće željeznice; zelena ekologija

“…In 1994, China adopted "The Administrative Center for China's Agenda: 21" [31], which proposed to promote integrated economic, social, environmental and resource strategies for sustainable development objectives. Therefore, this paper based on the idea of resource-based city situation and sustainable development, with reference to relevant research results [18][19][20][21][22][23][26][27][28][29]32] and combining with the real conditions in Shanxi Province, and finally establishes a comprehensive index from three aspects, economy, society, and resources and environment, and 12 specific indices.…”

An index system is established for evaluating the level of sustainable development of resources-based cities, and each index is calculated based on the unascertained measure model for 11 resources-based cities in Shanxi Province in 2013 from three aspects; namely, economic, social, and resources and environment. The result shows that Taiyuan City enjoys a high level of sustainable development and integrated development of economy, society, and resources and environment. Shuozhou, Changzhi, and Jincheng have basically realized sustainable development. However, Yangquan, Linfen, Lvliang, Datong, Jinzhong, Xinzhou and Yuncheng have a low level of sustainable development and urgently require a transition. Finally, for different cities, we propose different countermeasures to improve the level of sustainable development.

This paper presents an analysis of CO2 mitigation potential in the transport sector between Lao PDR and Thailand. The Long-rang Energy Alternative Planning (LEAP) model was used to forecast transport service demand, energy consumption and CO2 emission of two selected countries during the period from 2010-2050. In this study, a stock vehicle turnover model was developed to assess the potentials of energy saving and CO2 mitigation of policies relevant to the transport sector in Lao PDR and Thailand. For this analysis, three mitigation actions were selected, namely, 1) fuel switching, 2) advanced technology and 3) modal shift to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions. Results of analyses show that, in the business as usual (BAU) scenario during 2010 to 2050 for Laos, it can save 9.4% of total energy consumption in 2050 while the cumulative CO2 emissions will be reduced by 15% in 2050. For Thailand, the energy consumption in the transport sector will increase by approximately two folds. However, in CO2 countermeasure scenario, the cumulative energy savings in 2050 will be approximately 5.2% while the cumulative CO2 mitigation in 2050 will be about 14.6% when compared to the BAU scenario.
