Abstract

With the development of social economy, light pollution becomes more serious. In order to deal with double carbon policy and promote sustainable development of green economy, the reduction of light pollution has become an important task in today's society. This paper established a measurement model for evaluating the degree of light pollution (Model I) by integrating a large amount of data and principal component analysis, and applied it to four different types of areas. Combined with clustering algorithm, three strategies to solve the problem of light pollution were proposed (Model II), and the effect of each strategy on the prevention and control of light pollution was discussed. Finally, this paper applies these three measures to two different areas of Beijing and New York to get the most effective intervention strategies.
