Abstract Environmental impact assessment (EIA) is a precautionary and interlinked environmental regulation tool utilized by relevant authorities. Presently, there is no singular global set of EIA quality criteria to review the performances of the EIA reports on hydropower plants. In this paper, a new approach has been undertaken to create a well-organized objective type framework for a simple, fast, and comprehensive evaluation of the quality of a subjective type EIA report on a hydropower plant. In authors' previous research, for a quantitative performance evaluation of EIA reports, Fuzzy Logic Toolbox was used where nine attributes of an EIA report were selected as inputs, and the method was found to be effective. In this research, a detailed description of the rules for selecting the quality parameters for the attributes with different criteria are described with the objective type framework. With the help of Analytic Network Process (ANP), the importance score of each of the nine interrelated attributes is calculated, and these importance scores are used as the limits for the attributes (inputs) in Fuzzy Logic Toolbox. Considering the quality criteria and using “If-Then” expert rules, the final qualities of the attributes from a hydropower plant EIA report are determined, and by putting the final qualities of the attributes in the Fuzzy Logic Toolbox, a final score indicating the overall quality of the report is obtained. The novel objective type framework and Fuzzy Logic Toolbox together can assist in reviewing the quality of a subjective EIA report in a faster, more comprehensive, and quantitative way.

一种利用网络分析法和模糊逻辑工具箱确定水电厂环评报告质量的方法

摘要 环境影响评价（EIA）是相关部门使用的一种预防性和相互关联的环境监管工具。目前，没有一套单一的全球环境影响评估质量标准来审查水电站环境影响评估报告的表现。在本文中，采用了一种新方法来创建一个组织良好的客观类型框架，以便对水电站主观类型 EIA 报告的质量进行简单、快速和全面的评估。在作者之前的研究中，对于环评报告的定量性能评估，使用模糊逻辑工具箱，其中选择环评报告的九个属性作为输入，发现该方法是有效的。在这项研究中，用客观类型框架描述了为具有不同标准的属性选择质量参数的规则的详细描述。在分析网络过程（ANP）的帮助下，计算出九个相互关联的属性中每一个的重要性得分，并将这些重要性得分作为模糊逻辑工具箱中属性（输入）的限制。考虑质量标准并使用“If-Then”专家规则，确定来自水电站环评报告的属性的最终质量，并将属性的最终质量放入模糊逻辑工具箱，最终得分表明整体获得报告的质量。新颖的客观类型框架和模糊逻辑工具箱一起可以帮助更快地审查主观环评报告的质量，
