Abstract

This study develops a Comprehensive Index of Urban Green Transportation Development Levels in Chinese cities to address the absence of a comprehensive framework for evaluating China's urban transportation system. Using expert interviews and the eDPSIR framework, it creates a causal network diagram and employs DEMATEL to assess relationships among 13 key factors and 26 indicators. The system evaluates urban green transportation development comprehensively, covering effectiveness in systems, social, environmental, economic, and transportation aspects. The framework employs the difference coefficient method, subjective and objective entropy weighting, and fuzzy hierarchical analysis. Empirical research on 30 Chinese cities from 2011 to 2020, using improved set-pair analysis and a variable fuzzy set model, identifies challenges in achieving green development levels, with megacities surpassing large cities. Fishbone analysis reveals policy deficiencies, prompting proposed design ideas and enhancement paths. This study enriches green transportation assessment indicators, offering valuable insights for sustainable urban transportation development in China.

城市绿色交通发展的综合评价：来自中国 30 个城市的证据

本研究开发了中国城市绿色交通发展水平综合指数，以解决中国城市交通系统缺乏综合评价框架的问题。通过专家访谈和 eDPSIR 框架，建立了因果网络图，并运用 DEMATEL 评估了 13 个关键因素和 26 个指标之间的关系。该系统全面评估了城市绿色交通发展，涵盖了系统、社会、环境、经济和交通等方面的有效性。该框架采用了差分系数法、主客观熵权法和模糊层次分析法。利用改进的集对分析法和可变模糊集模型，对中国 30 个城市从 2011 年到 2020 年的绿色发展水平进行了实证研究，发现了实现绿色发展水平所面临的挑战，其中特大城市超过了大城市。鱼骨分析揭示了政策缺陷，提出了设计思路和改进路径。本研究丰富了绿色交通评价指标，为中国城市交通的可持续发展提供了有价值的启示。

期刊介绍： Research in Transportation Business & Management (RTBM) will publish research on international aspects of transport management such as business strategy, communication, sustainability, finance, human resource management, law, logistics, marketing, franchising, privatisation and commercialisation. Research in Transportation Business & Management welcomes proposals for themed volumes from scholars in management, in relation to all modes of transport. Issues should be cross-disciplinary for one mode or single-disciplinary for all modes. We are keen to receive proposals that combine and integrate theories and concepts that are taken from or can be traced to origins in different disciplines or lessons learned from different modes and approaches to the topic. By facilitating the development of interdisciplinary or intermodal concepts, theories and ideas, and by synthesizing these for the journal''s audience, we seek to contribute to both scholarly advancement of knowledge and the state of managerial practice. Potential volume themes include: -Sustainability and Transportation Management- Transport Management and the Reduction of Transport''s Carbon Footprint- Marketing Transport/Branding Transportation- Benchmarking, Performance Measurement and Best Practices in Transport Operations- Franchising, Concessions and Alternate Governance Mechanisms for Transport Organisations- Logistics and the Integration of Transportation into Freight Supply Chains- Risk Management (or Asset Management or Transportation Finance or ...): Lessons from Multiple Modes- Engaging the Stakeholder in Transportation Governance- Reliability in the Freight Sector
