South korean self support rate fer the grain product is less than 25%, and depends on the imported product for the national food supply. Therefore, there is imminent need for development of agricultural decision support system using GIS which provides various useful informations for a more accurate agricultural policy making. Agricultural decision making processes are complex due to complicated current international political situations, and the erratic weather condition like that Elnino, flood and drought eft. Hence, global scale GIS and analytical applications has implemented for solving the agricultural problems above mentioned in this study. As the results, the executable decision process with GIS developed well adopted for the rice cultivable area estimation in the world.

It is necessary to evaluate the location suitability of protected horticulture facilities to guide and/or plan new protected horticulture facilities in rural areas.0 this study, as one of methodological approaches for objective and systematic evaluation for location suitability of protected horticulture, the evaluating model for location suitability of protected horticulture was formulated using AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) as the base technique. The evaluation model was made in three different selected regions; suburban, plain, and mountainous. The results showed that there were significant differences in evaluation model of location suitability for':ed horticulture among the three regions.

The purpose of this study is to develop a rural stream environment management system (RUSEMS) using Object Oriented Programming (OOP). In this study, the management goals of RUSEMS were conceptualized and systemized. The objects which required in RUSEMS were developed, then the method and the attribute of the objects were also devised, and the hierarchy of the objects was constructed by OMT method in this study. The results of the system application showed that RUSEMS was enable the manager of the rural stream to analyze and offer the information about the monitoring and analysis of the rural stream pollution, the management of the watershed pollution source and the rural stream environment management for the friendly water space.

Fresh water lake was developed as a result of tidal land reclamation of the Sukmoon area. Water quality of lake has been monitored before and after sea-dike construction. Water quality degradation has been observed after Sukmoon sea-dike construction. In this paper observed water quality of the Sukmoon lake is presented and possible measures to improve water quality are also discussed.

The purpose of this study was to identify factors related to residential satisfaction, and to examine the rural housing and village environment which enable to derive what should be considered in the future rural housing improvement.

This is a research with two purposes, in order to understand the situation with which mountain villages region gets faced present time. First, to examine the conception and the formative process of mountain villages region. Second, the measure the possibility of development in a project on mountain villages region to increase the evenings as a continuous project by bringing ecology tourism. The future plan for mountain villages region project will focus on building up natural resting places for citizens by offering the actual living area it self mountain villages region should be made a place where people can release fatigue or stress, rest, think, have fun and get relationship each other, villagers and citizens. For this, it, is needed to find the way to increase economic effect in mountain villages region after enough study of development peculiarity each mountain villages region has, propensity to consume, appropritate method and example, negative and positive influence.

The objective of this study is by analyzing villages("Ri" units) to specify the proper unit of the area that the rural development policy is suitable for, and to examine whether the current rural development policy considers the characteristics of community and region. The study included twelve districts(in Korean "Eup" or "Myun") and one hundred one villages(in Korean ri) in Poryong-si, Chungchungnam-do. Twelve and fifteen variables are respectively employe for the analysis of Myun`s and Ri`s. Using Factor Analysis, Cluster Analysis, and Z-Score Analysis, the study examines the degree of disadvantage and the process of growth pattern of each Myun or Ri. The Ri`s are also classified according to their functional characteristics. The results of this study could be summarized as follows; 1) There exist some problems in the current rural development policy because it does not take into consideration the characteristics community and region. 2) Except a few distinct of areas, the proper unit of the area for the rural development policy should be set being based on regional characteristics rather than the administrative units. 3) The spatial boundary of rural development policy should be sets from villages(ri) to beyond the unit of administrative units("Si" or "Gun"), according to the village unit analysis. 4) It is needed that community and region data should be consistently accumulated after specifying Standard Statistical Districts. 5) The application of indicators should be in accordance with the characteristics of the policy.

The purpose of this study is to find the adjective check list for rural stream landscape evaluation. The methods used in this study were to make the adjective check list suitable for stream landscape, to measure the adjective check list by the method of semantic differential scale, and to find the adjective check list suitable for evaluation of stream landscape. The adjective check list suggested in this study can guarantee objectivity of evaluation in improving or restoring stream landscape.

The purpose of this study is to suggest the arrangement type and the improvement of the Collective Facility Areas in Korean National Park. The process of this study consists of 3-steps. The first step is to analyze spatial patterns of each Collective Facility Area and categorize Collective Facility Areas into 3 types. In the second step, the critical issues are found in landscape management of Collective Facility Areas. Thirdly the alternative design of each case which can be applicable to the planning of the Collective facility Area is suggested.
