本文探讨了苏格兰环境正义（EJ）的背景，并提出了一个案例研究，由此确定了环境正义指标的主要属性，包括正义的程序和分配方面。通过参与式过程，使用多标准分析工具，即层次分析法（AHP）分配权重。结果表明，总体而言，受访者认为环境不公正主要与污染造成的健康负担分配不均有关，但社区环境活动人士更重视程序正义。本文建议AHP可以应用于许多情况，并且可以为在苏格兰解决和提供EJ的工具的开发奠定基础。
This paper explores the context of environmental justice (EJ) in Scotland, and presents a case study whereby the main attributes for an indicator of EJ were identified, encompassing procedural and distributive aspects of justice. Through a participatory process, weights were assigned using a Multi-Criteria Analysis tool, the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). Results show that overall, environmental injustices are mostly associated by respondents to unequal distribution of health burdens due to pollution, yet greater weight is attached to procedural justice by community environmental activists. The paper suggests that AHP may be applied to many situations and could form a basis for the development of tools to address and deliver EJ in Scotland.
