To realize the coordinated and sustainable development of hydropower projects and regional society, comprehensively evaluating hydropower projects’ influence is critical. Usually, hydropower project development has an impact on environmental geology and social and regional cultural development. Based on comprehensive consideration of complicated geological conditions, fragile ecological environment, resettlement of reservoir area, and other factors of future hydropower development in each country, we have constructed a comprehensive evaluation index system of hydropower projects, including 4 first-level indicators of social economy, environment, safety, and fairness, which contain 26 second-level indicators. To solve the problem that existing models cannot evaluate dynamic nonlinear optimization, a projection pursuit model is constructed by using rough set reduction theory to simplify the index. Then, an accelerated genetic algorithm based on real number coding is used to solve the model and empirical study is carried out with the Y hydropower station as a sample. The evaluation results show that the evaluation index system and assessment model constructed in our paper effectively reduce the subjectivity of index weight. Applying our model to the social impact assessment (SIA) of related international hydropower projects can not only comprehensively analyze the social impact of hydropower projects but also identify important social influencing factors and effectively analyze the social impact level of each dimension. Furthermore, SIA assessment can be conducive to project decision-making, avoiding social risks and social stability.

Regional earthquake disaster macro risk assessment model can be devided into two parts:economic losses and casualities. through the compare of domestic earthquake disaster as-sessment model,the existing model evaluation index is sole,and it can not reflect the differences of urban earthquake disaster in the area,according to this we built the regional seismic disaster evaluation index system, and use the PCA method to analyze the index,and get the weights of each index,further to build the regional seismic disaster economic loss evaluation index system effectde by multiple in-dex.Take the previous data between 1996 to 2009 as an example to analyze,compare the reckoning and the existing model evaluate results,and check the effectiveness and feasibility of the model.

The existing economic evaluation index system of oil-gas exploration project lacks environmental efficiency index and social efficiency index, and has no definite risk index. This paper analyzed the existing economic efficiency indexes, added the social efficiency and environmental efficiency indexes. These indexes can efficiently reflect the project’s difference, moreover, the data can be obtained easily. This paper designed the indexes, which can weight project geology risk, the project risk and the economic risk. These indexes composed a systematic and comprehensive system of oil-gas exploration project economic evaluation index. This index system can reflect the project characteristic from different angles, and provide the policy-making reference for the policy-maker.

Assessing water resources vulnerability is the foundation of local water resources management. However, as one of the major water systems in China, there is no existing evaluation index system that can effectively assess water resource vulnerability for the Huai River basin. To address this issue, we identified key vulnerability factors, constructed an evaluation index system, and applied such system to evaluate water resources vulnerability for the Huai River basin empirically in this paper. Specifically, our evaluation index system consists of 18 indexes selected from three different aspects: water shortage, water pollution, and water-related natural disaster. Then, the improved blind deletion rough set method was used to reduce the size of the evaluation index while keep the evaluation power. In addition, the improved conditional information entropy rough set method was employed to calculate the weights of evaluation indexes. Based on the reduced index system and calculated weights, a rough set cloud model was applied to carry out the vulnerability evaluation. The empirical results show that the Huai River basin water resources were under severe vulnerability conditions for most of the time between 2000 and 2016, and the Most Stringent Water Resources Management System (MS-WRMS) established in 2012 did not work effectively as expected.

Based on the theory of Projection Pursuit Model, a comprehensive benefits assessment model for environmental protection investments was built. According to values of the projection vector components, contributions of evaluation index to the comprehensive benefits were analyzed. On the basis of the model, overall benefits of provincial environmental protection investments were assessed. Results showed that, comprehensive benefits of environmental protection investments in annual 2010 had a strong regional property, descending from the east coast to the northwest inland, environmental protection benefits in provinces such as Shandong、Zhejiang and Jiangsu were higher, while in northwest inland, it was relatively low.
