A technique for the evaluation of the urban environment using multiattribute utility is presented in this paper. Data collected from citizen consciousness and physical environment surveys are used to obtain comprehensive environmental indices for each individual district by using an additive multiattribute utility function. Three kinds of indices, i.e. civic minimum, aspiration level, and the present comprehensive environmental indices, are estimated for districts with different living standards in an urban area. Through this study, the people in a district may gradually become conscious of their welfare by self-exposure to the information provided by the evaluation of the multiattribute utility of the urban environment. Besides, the local government can determine the strategies of urban environmental improvement based on these results by using compromise programming.
