Abstract:Green design is the primary lever to initiate green development. Studies on regional green development on the phase of research cannot be conducted without quantitative analyses on green design. In traditional studies on green design, more emphasis is laid on the performances of environment-friendly and resource-saving products; neither quantitative analyses nor quantitative analyses have been conducted on green design theories in terms of region. To fully reflect the actual level of green design in various regions in China, green design background concentration index, green design promotion index, and green design coverage index have been proposed in the study with reference to existing mature theories and methodologies and "Green Design Contribution Rate Function" is thus constructed and established so as to present the basic level, development potentials and selection strategies of green design in various regions macroscopically in a deeper sense.
