Evaluation of the Ecological Civilization Construction of Shenyang, Liaoning Province P.R. China

This paper constructs an evaluation index system that assesses the ecological civilization construction level of Shenyang from 2011 to 2016 with the help of the analytical hierarchy process and the Delphi method. Although the results did show any apparent increase in the ecological civilization construction level of Shenyang, the city demonstrated a generally stable natural ecological level. The growing resource allocation and social civilization of the city were also accompanied by a decline in its population structure. Shenyang also demonstrated an initial decrease in its environmental guarantee that was immediately followed by an increase. However, the opposite trend was observed for its economic development.
