An evaluation method for lithography apparatus including a coating unit, an exposure unit, a heating unit and a development unit, the evaluation method including forming an evaluation resist pattern by using the lithography apparatus, the evaluation resist pattern including first and second evaluation patterns, the first and second evaluation patterns having different peripheral environments, measuring dimensions of the first and second evaluation patterns to obtain a dimensional difference between the first and second resist evaluation patterns, estimating an exposure dose of a resist when the resist is exposed by the exposure unit, the estimating the exposure dose being performed based on the dimensional difference between the first and second resist evaluation patterns, and estimating an effective heating temperature of the resist when the resist is heated by the heating unit, the estimating the effective heating temperature being performed based on the estimated exposure dose and the dimensional difference.
