垃圾焚烧在中国的迅速扩张引发了“邻避”（Not-In-My-BackYard，邻避）的主张，这使得利益相关者更加关注其对环境和社会的影响。如今，环境影响受到全社会的控制，而社会的可持续性往往被忽视。由于社会可持续性对公众接受度至关重要，有利于将邻避主张转化为“后院之美”（BIMBY）协同效应，所有利益相关者都希望了解差距，但缺乏评估方法。本文首次提出了城市生活垃圾焚烧厂外观设计的定量评价体系。它用美观的外观来衡量城市生活垃圾焚烧厂的社会可持续性。收集了中国177个垃圾焚烧厂的真实照片，采用加权和法进行评价。采用层次分析法确定影响外观美观的各因素的权重。层次分析法的两两比较过程是通过对100多名不同职业的受访者进行在线问卷调查进行的。评价结果表明，外观美观与污染控制能力不相关。不同审美水平的空间分布表明，东部省份应更加重视旧焚烧厂的改造。作为案例分析，分析了四个典型电厂的设计。分析结果揭示了邻避植物与BIBMY植物之间的差距。更重要的是，它们可以促进中国城市垃圾焚烧厂的美观性、社会可持续性和公众接受度的提高。(C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd.版权所有。
The Not-In-My-BackYard (NIMBY) claims caused by the rapid expansion of waste incineration in China make stakeholders pay more attention to the environmental and social impact. Nowadays, the environmental impact is under control of the whole society while the social sustainability is often neglected. As the social sustainability is vital to the public acceptance and conducive to convert NIMBY claims to Beauty-In-My-BackYard (BIMBY) synergy, all stakeholders desire to know the gap but lack evaluation method. This paper proposes a quantitative evaluation system for the aesthetic appearance of MSW incineration plants for the first time. It uses aesthetic appearance to measure the social sustainability of MSW incineration plants. Real-world photos of 177 incineration plants in China were collected to support the evaluation using weighted sum method. The weights of factors contributing to the aesthetic appearance were obtained by AHP. The process of pairwise comparison in AHP was conducted by an online questionnaire survey involving more than 100 interviewees in various professions. It is evaluated that the aesthetic appearance is not correlated with the pollution control ability. The spatial distribution of different levels of aesthetic appearance shows that eastern provinces should pay more attention to the improvement of old incineration plants. As case studies, the designs of four typical plants are analyzed. The analysis results reveal the gap between NIMBY plants and BIBMY plants. More importantly, they can contribute to push forward the improvements of aesthetic appearance, social sustainability, and public acceptance for MSW incineration plants in China.
