Abstract

With the speed of information dissemination and the strengthening of people's awareness of rights protection, the construction of waste incineration facilities often faces greater obstacles. Among them, the spread of public opinion of NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) has aggravated people's emotional instability. Cellular Automaton model is used to quantitatively study the transmission of public opinion about waste incineration facilities from three factors: (1) the influence of residents from waste incineration facilities; (2) the confidence of residents; (3) the influence of external environment. And the impact of intervention mechanisms is explored to propose crisis decision-making for different impacts of interventions at different time points.
