Abstract
The risk assessment of environmental conflicts has been an integral part of measuring the operability of projects as well as the happiness of the affected population. With the current situation of environmental crises, environmental conflict has an effect on society. In order to maintain the stable development of society, we used the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method and the analytic hierarchy process to study the risk of a population being affected by a project producing environmental pollution. Furthermore, we provided an approach that had the potential to quantify as well as give a risk assessment of the environmental impact. The results classified 0.397, 0.202, and 0.295 as medium, relatively high, and highest risk, respectively. We deemed that the conflict mode between people, government, and enterprise is actually the confrontation between benefit gainers and benefit losers to a great extent. In subtle ways, this conflict mode has several roles. The solution of environmental conflicts lies in how the roles of government and enterprises change and how the interests of the public are considered. Environmental risks can be safely mitigated without violence by managing relationships between people, governments and businesses.
Highlights
Since the 1980s, environmental transformation has attracted special attention in the emergence of sustainable development paradigms [1]
On the basis of the questionnaire survey, filled out by 18 experts and 500 people, the risk evaluation system was established by the combined analytic hierarchy process (AHP)-fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method (FCE) method
A shown in Table 5, the results of the AHP method show that the weight of subjective factors was mainly about 80%
Summary
Since the 1980s, environmental transformation has attracted special attention in the emergence of sustainable development paradigms [1]. Environmental conflicts have been increasing rapidly each year by 20% [4] They often accompany the engineering and development of programs and projects, as evidenced by studies related to social environmental conflicts on hydropower [5], Natura 2000 sites [6], and environmental resource management in coastal metropolitan areas [7]. Against this background, traditional mechanisms for environmental conflict resolution (ECR), such as using the juridical system, are increasingly considered to be insufficient to meet this challenge
