With the accelerated process of economic construction and urbanization, motor vehicles and pollutants emitted from winter heating are constantly increasing, and regional haze pollution caused by these factors has affected people's living environment. This article took Nanning City, Guangxi Province, as the research area and analyzed the relationship between regional haze pollution and local meteorology by using the Pearson correlation coefficient. Then, cluster analysis was carried out to find out the main impacts of these two factors on urban residential areas. The results showed that among the local meteorological factors, average precipitation was strongly correlated with the occurrence of haze pollution, while other meteorological factors showed a very strong correlation. According to the results of cluster analysis, the impact of regional haze pollution and local meteorology on urban residential areas was mainly divided into three categories: reduced visibility, reduced human health, and reduced living comfort. The largest impact was on reduced visibility, and 79.11% of the total population felt that the visibility was affected.
Key words: Regional haze pollution / local meteorology / urban residential area / Pearson correlation / cluster analysis
