Abstract
Maslow’s view of Humanity Happiness argues that people feel happy when their needs are satisfied in a certain level. For exploring the quantitative evaluation methods of humanity happiness, firstly, based on the theories of Humanity Happiness and Fuzzy Sets, the concept “need-satisfied membership” is proposed to describe subjective feelings of individual happiness quantitatively. Secondly, a comprehensive happiness membership indicator system is constructed. Its indicator weights can be computed based on Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. And then the individual comprehensive happiness can be analyzed quantitatively. Furthermore, the general happiness membership function model as a more scientific measurement method is proposed for quantitatively analyzing the happiness of specific people in specific areas.

Summary
Hierarchy of needs and humanistic psychology teach us that the happiness degrees are determined by the satisfaction degrees about people’s different needs. This humanistic view of happiness, which takes the satisfactions of individual needs as key value orientations, presents qualitative logic for think about happiness. Without a quantitative method for measuring the need-satisfied levels, it is difficult to analyze and evaluate the social happiness views accurately. Based on Humanistic Happiness View, Fuzzy Set and AHP, the quantifying methods, which are able to reflect the individual and (regional) social happiness views, are proposed.
