ABSTRACT

Cities play a critical role in addressing climate change, and urban master plans, as guidingframeworks for subordinate plans, must effectively incorporate carbon neutrality strategies. This studydeveloped evaluation indicators for assessing such strategies in urban master plans and applied themto domestic cities, employing a hierarchical decision-making approach to determine indicator weights. Results show that cities such as Uijeongbu, Osan, and Yangju scored highly by establishing detailed energy conservation and efficiency targets, improving industrial technology and production systems,and formulating support plans for vulnerable populations. In contrast, Hwaseong, Guri, and Pajuscored lower due to insufficient energy targets, industrial technology improvements, and localrenewable energy development plans. While the “Greenhouse Gas Emission Status and Causes”indicator received high marks for its robust weighting and systematic data collection, indicators forinter-agency cooperation and vulnerable group support were notably underdeveloped. This studysuggests that clarifying urban master plan formulation guidelines and mandating key directives cansignificantly enhance their contribution to achieving the government’s carbon neutrality goals.
