The goal of this paper is to review and categorize approaches and methods of facing urban light pollution. Probing various references and documents, the current practice focus on extracting and reviewing different types of urban light pollution detection, survey, and measurement to define a taxonomy of methods by instant comparison. The means of measurement and detecting this pollution include 14 most cited techniques which would be classified in four categories in this paper. These methods comprise ground-based survey, aerial survey, remote sensing, and city modeling. Finally, this paper represents a framework of the methods to show how and when they should be employed considering the pros and cons of each one of these methods. By creating a foundation of specialized arguments, this study helps researchers and urban designers to complete urban lighting research and design. In addition, it provides a base-information for the analysis of urban light pollution.
