Research on the Tripartite Evolutionary Game of Zero-Waste City Construction in China

The aim in mind the construction of a zero-waste city is to recycle municipal solid waste more reasonable way order achieve sustainable development urban environment. This goal widely used internationally as green concept management. However, when only government takes lead process, neglecting engage and guide participation public enterprises, realization becomes challenging. Therefore, effective collaboration among all stakeholders would be approach dealing with creating an eco-friendly livable In this study, we adopted evolutionary game model selected three typical stakeholders—the government, public, enterprises—in examine choice tripartite strategies their primary influencing factors based on prospect theory. study found following: (1) selection at different stages city’s influenced by expected benefits costs; (2) government’s leading role related subsidies can promote enthusiasm enterprises participate city; (3) maximize benefits, after has been established, each stakeholder choose actively, even without intervention; (4) requires long-term exploration practice, China currently transition period from government-led government-directed planning. Establishing perfect reward punishment mechanism beneficial promoting active enterprises. authors paper studied process stage through theory explored influences important parameters strategic subject current conducting numerical simulations, which implications for city.
