“…In addition, the policy committee of environmental governance in Shanghai has become an attractive topic. It advocates joint implementation of environmental policies from different governmental departments and participation of different stakeholder [ 64 ]. These actions not only increase the penalties for polluters, but also decrease the environmental regulatory costs [ 63 ].…”

The aim of this study is to evaluate the performance of urban environmental governance by developing hesitant fuzzy linguistic analytic network process (HFL-ANP). The study bridges the gaps in current knowledge in the following ways: the study methodically develops the HFL-ANP method to evaluate and pick the optimal environmental governance strategy from alternatives; theoretically, network structure of evaluation indicators system on environmental governance is constructed, and the objective and subjective information in the evaluation process of environmental governance is combined. In detail, based on the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) and the pollution haven hypothesis, the paper constructs the evaluation indexes system of environmental governance and takes observation time length into consideration. Then, we choose three urban cases of environmental governance by exploring the existing literature. Furthermore, we develop the HFL-ANP method and apply it to the cases. The study calculates the initial weights of all indexes by using multiplicative consistency of the HFL preference relation, and derives the decision matrix through combining objective information with subjective information of environmental governance. Finally, we come to the following conclusions: ANP network stricture is close to real-world practical problems and provides the basis for HFL-ANP method; HFL-ANP is a very suitable method of assessing environmental governance; and based on the urban cases of environmental governance, Shanghai is the optimal alternative. In addition, this indicator system can only be applied to cities in China, and the administrative hierarchy of policies has not been considered by this method. Thus, future studies should expand this method and indicator network to contain different countries and different administrative hierarchy.

“…Secondly, the indexes in medium 1 are estimated using the corresponding models with the normalized qualitative values of the indexes in medium 2. Finally, the risk of marine oil spill is described by multiplying hazard and vulnerability referencing the other risk characterization (Varnes, 1984;Lan et al, 2009;Liu et al, 2010Liu et al, , 2013.…”

“…They should be operative, causative, and act to discriminate the degree of environmental risk for each unit considered. A four-layer risk mapping index system (see Liu et al, 2010) is used in the present study, derived from the conceptual model indicated in Liu et al (2010) discuss the empirical models presently used in risk measurement. In the present study, the risk measurement procedure involves the following steps.…”

“…Secondly, sub-indexes of hazard and vulnerability are measured using specific models (see Liu et al, 2010) with normalized quantitative values of primary indexes. Thirdly, values of hazard and vulnerability are estimated using simple positive/negative relation models based on their sub-indexes.…”
