| Abstract | Light pollution, an often overlooked yet rapidly growing environmental issue, poses significant challenges to human health, ecosystems, and the visibility of the night sky. This paper introduces the concept of light pollution and categorizes its major types, including glare, skyglow, light trespass, and clutter, highlighting their distinct impacts on society and the environment at large. The research adopts a dual empirical approach, quantitative and qualitative, to examine the extent and perception of the problem in India. Qualitative and Quantitative surveys assess parameters such as public awareness, attitudes, impact analysis, personal experiences, sources, behavioural patterns of Light pollution and future-ready solutions. The findings reveal a pressing need for integrated policy interventions, improved lighting design, and removing the awareness crisis to balance developmental needs with sustainability goals. The paper concludes with specific suggestions, emphasizing regulatory frameworks, adaptive planning cycles, community participation, and the promotion of energy-efficient, dark-sky-compliant technologies to mitigate the adverse effects of light pollution and safeguard the integrity of the nocturnal environment. |
