Abstract: Against the backdrop of promoting rural revitalization and ecological protection, the quality of rural life and living environment has been greatly improved. But with the improvement in rural living standards, the amount of domestic sewage discharge has also increased, bringing enormous pressure to the rural environment. Therefore, strengthening the construction and management of sewage treatment facilities is an important part of achieving sustainable development. This article takes rural areas in western China as an example to investigate and analyze the characteristics and existing problems of their domestic sewage treatment facilities. A set of evaluation indicators for rural domestic sewage treatment facilities suitable for western regions is constructed, which covers three aspects of evaluation indicators: Technology, Environment, and Economy. The weights of each evaluation indicator are determined through the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process. Validate the model through specific cases to ensure the practicality and accuracy of the evaluation system. This provides a certain reference for the scientific management and sustainable development of domestic sewage treatment facilities in rural areas of western China. This article has important practical significance for promoting the scientific management and sustainable development of rural domestic sewage treatment facilities in western China and also provides useful reference for rural environmental protection in other regions.
