In this study, for the application of land resource evaluation using GIS map overlay method, I have considered about the process that can draw out right results from the problems involving multiple hierarchical indicators and weights. The assumption of this research is that there are two processes in the application of analytic hierarchy process(AHP) and the different results will appear. The two processes are as follows; (1) calculate directly the comprehensive weights to the indicators and overlay the layers(Method I) and (2) repeat the process of map overlay and standardization(Method II). The two precesses are applied on the study site based on the envirosystem in Bong-Hwa, and then some differences were found in the results and it was suggested that the Method II is more reasonable.

This study was carried out to find out the possibility for developing methodologies on the index for forest sustainability and to assess sustainability indices of metropolitan and provincial districts based on conditions of their forest health and management programmes in Korea. To find out some indicators to be utilized in developing the forest sustainability indices, total 84 possible indicators were selected and combined from 69 major programmes contained in the 4th Forest Development Plan and the Forest Vision for 21st Century and other 15 indicators selected separately from other forest policies. Those candidate indicators were reviewed throughly under evaluation processes and 33 indicators were finally chosen in developing the forest sustainability indices. Those indicators were classified into 3 categories, namely indicators for pressure, state, and response. Forest health could be represented by pressure and state indicators, while forest management programmes could be assessed by response indicators. Scores of importance for each indicator were assigned through Delphi survey and analyzed to project the extra weight value by summing rankings given to each index an applied to the standardized value of each index. Forest sustainability indices of metropolitan and provincial districts were analyzed and compared, based on relevant data of the year 2002. This study was kind a preliminary one in forest sustainability index and the names of metropolitan and provincial districts were not identified in this study. The indices could be very valuable in assessing quantitatively the level of forest health and intensity of forest management programmes in each districts and comparisons could be made among them, if all self-governing districts agree unanimously on the indices of forest sustainability and relevant indicators chosen in the study.

In this study, sub-indicators, and thematic mid-indexes to evaluate the water use characteristics were selected through historical data analysis and factor analysis, and consisted of the subject approach framework. And the integrated index was developed to evaluate water use characteristics of the watershed. Using developed index, the water use characteristics were assessed for 812 standard basins with the exception for North Korea using data of 1990 to 2007 from the relevant agencies. A sensitivity analysis is conducted for this study to determine the proper way through various normalization and weighting methods. To increase the objectivity of developed index, the history of the damage indicators are excluded in the analysis. In addition, in order to ensure its reliability, results from index with and without consideration of the damage history were compared. Also, the index is also applied to real data for 2008 Gangwon region to verify its field applicability. Through the validation process this index confirmed the adequacy for the indicators selection and calculation method. The results of this study were analyzed based on the spatial and time vulnerability of the basin's water use, which can be applied to various parts such as priority decision-making for water business or policy, mitigations for the vulnerable components of the basin, and supporting measures to establishment by providing relevant information about it.

Many studies which assessed the function of forest are focused on usage of citizen, but studies which focused on natural-ecological function still lack. Hence, the purpose of this study is to select and apply the evaluation indicators on natural-ecological function of forest as a base research for sustainable planing and management. First, the 35 indicators were selected by the review of the internal and external 56 literature. The 12 indicators among those were reselected as natural-ecological indicator by the first survey and 7 indicators such as green area, connectivity etc. were determined through MCB analysis by the second survey. Also, the weights of 7 indicators for the functional evaluation were computed using AHP analysis by the third survey. As aresult of AHP analysis, the naturality was showed the highest indicator by 0.189, while the NDVI was evaluated the lowest indicator by 0.063. According to the result of evaluating the natural-ecological function on forest in Daegu which was selected as suitable study area, the natural-ecological functions around the Mt. Ap and Mt. Chengryong, top of Mt. Biseul had more than 85 scores, so those were assessed as an excellent area. On the other hand, the functions around the western area of Mt. Waryong and Mt. Macheon, the Mt. Daeni of Dalseong-Gun had less than 50 scores, which means that the area had to be controled by sustainable management. Therefore, we will be able to utilize the basic data for the preservation and management at urban and environmental planning through the results of this study.

The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) has been widely used as a comprehensive evaluation method since it can include various evaluation standards of both the public and private sectors. It also provides the objective mathematics to process subjective and Personal preferences of an individual or a group in making a decision. This study tried to use AHP to determine the priority of roads investment, considering various effects in a hierarchy such as environmental effects, residential life, and regional development which has not been treated explicitly. As a case study, roads in Gyeongsangbukdo province have been chosen for the evaluation in this research. For the application, it used relative measurements to estimate the weight of upper level structure, and absolute measurement for low level structure instead of pairwise comparisons.

In this study, TOPSIS(Techniques for Order Performance by Similarity to Ieal Solution) was used to evaluate the installation points of water quality monitoring networks in 34 streams of the Nakdong River watershed. The Nakdong River System has been measuring water quality and flow in 195 local streams since 2011. In particular, the 34 key management points are areas with many pollutants and poor water quality, requiring continuous water quality management. For the selection of points requiring management, 10 indicators were selected for evaluation, and the selected indicators were standardized and weighted using the entropy method. As a result of weight calculation, the presence or absence of a nearby measuring network received the greatest weight, and the average water quality and presence of an industrial complex obtained the highest weight. The evaluated data are judged to be the research results necessary for the establishment of a new water quality measurement network in the Nakdong River system and continuous water quality management in tributaries.

This study aimed to develop the comprehensive indicators which can be used for evaluating greenhouse for tomato cultivation. To achieve this aim, the study developed the evaluation indicators composed of evaluation items, grades and criteria by extracting preliminary evaluation items through analyzing the related papers and preceding studies, and conducting Delphi survey on an expert group. During the three surveys, the questions of closed-ended type were given to a panel of 100 experts - professors related to tomato cultivation and facilities, researchers and farmers (practical users). As a result, the finally established evaluation indicators consist of 4 categories and 39 specific evaluation items. The 4 categories are the structural factor of greenhouse, equipment factor of greenhouse, cultivation factor, and infrastructure factor. These factors consist of specific evaluation items of 9, 15, 7 and 8, respectively. In addition, on 39 specific evaluation items, weighted values were calculated and grades and criteria were established by collecting opinions of the experts. The newly developed evaluation indicators through this study will play an important role in developing new greenhouse models, considering things that should be complemented preferentially regarding in-use facilities, and improving the efficiency of projects supported by the government.

The objective of this study was to suggest strategies for improving "Livestock Manure Treatment Systems and Related Technologies Assessment Program". Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used to evaluate reasonableness of applied weight value for assessment and improve program management strategies. Results of mail survey collected from animal manure treatment technology specialists of 30 companies nationwide were used for AHP. Company's ability, technological prowess, facility's convenience, economic feasibility are four important aspects of assessment program evaluation using AHP. More than 70% of the respondents said they were overall satisfied with the objectivity of assessment program regarding above four evaluation aspects. However, only 36% of them answered that they were very satisfied with the objectivity of assessment program in terms of economic feasibility. The evaluation results revealed that the assessment program needs to be made up for the weak points regarding economic feasibility. The AHP weight calculation results showed that the current assessment program overestimates the technological prowess, especially livestock manure treatment efficiency. It suggests that the weight value of current assessment program in terms of technological prowess needs to be determined carefully. The current assessment program combined with AHP weight value determination approach will be very useful to improve objectivity and reliability of assessment.

In order to create a successful regional development model, there should be an effort to foster a strategic industry which boosts a geographical features of rural areas. Because, It must be clear that the strategic industry chosen between choice and concentration of the development of the local industry development which boosts the local economy revitalization. The local government should have continual concern and roles to fulfil political subjects and keep estimating about the possibility that there could be the sustainable development by Task Ahead of the local industry. This study's indicators were established for the adequacy evaluation of the industrial policy by focusing on domestic regional development's success example. Next, Conjoint analysis was conducted on the Experts. On the basis of this analysis, the weights of indicators are derived. And this study suggest the reasonable evaluation system to take Sustainable industry plan of regional strategic. Consequently, 'Regional development' sector separate 3 categories which are 'Local economy', 'Human Resource Development', 'local marketing' and 9 indicators were derived. 'Industrial development' sector derived 9 indicators about 'Construction of infrastructure', 'Technical development' and 'business support'. Looking through the implications of this study. First, the problem needed to be supplemented based on the Diversity and concreteness of Evaluation system when government assesses regional industry development policy. Second, local government have to strategically consider the possibility of convergence between industries and easiness of network in a broad region. Finally, Foundation and support of the professional manpower and companies for the regional industries must be established.

하천의 수리 및 하도의 특성으로 대표되는 물리적 환경(하도 및 수리 특성)은 생태계 기반으로서 수질특성과 더불어 생물에 미치는 영향이 아주 크다. 따라서 하천의 물리적 환경을 진단하고 평가하는 경우에는 상 중 하류의 위치에 따른 하도의 지형학적 특성과 하천의 규모 및 유량의 크기 등에 따라 하천의 유형을 분류하고 그 유형별 특성에 따라 하천환경의 평가시스템을 구축할 필요가 있다. 1980년 후반 이후에는 세계 각국에서 환경보전, 하천복원 및 하천관리 등 종합적인 하천공학적 관점에서 적용할 수 있는 하천분류체계가 제시되었으며 1990년대 이후 선진국들은 정성적 또는 정량적인 하천의 서식환경 평가시스템을 구축하여 적용하고 있으며 대표적으로 정량적 평가시스템을 운영하는 국가는 독일과 미국이고, 정성적 평가시스템을 운영하는 국가는 영국이며, 호주는 영국과 미국의 평가시스템을 통합한 시스템을 운영하고 있다. 한편, 국내에서는 하천환경에서 생태계 기반인 하천의 물리적 특성(구조)에 대한 평가 및 진단 절차도 없이 시행되고 있는 사례가 대부분이다. 또한 지금까지는 하천의 자연도 평가 연구 등에서 선진국들의 하천환경평가시스템을 여과 없이 적용함으로써 국내의 하천특성을 제대로 반영하지 못하는 문제점을 노출하고 있다. 따라서 국내 하천의 물리환경 평가시스템에서는 생물 서식의 기반이 되는 하천의 하도지형 특성 및 수리특성을 반영할 수 있어야 한다. 하천평가에 앞서 하천유형 분류에 따른 하도특성은 하상경사에 따라서 급경사 하천(high-gradient stream), 중경사 하천(mid-gradient stream), 완경사 하천(low-gradient stream)으로 구분하였으며 하천의 물리환경 평가시스템의 평가영역 및 평가지표는 정량적 평가시스템을 운영하는 독일(LAWA, 2004)과 미국(EPA, 2004)의 연구결과를 참고하여 공통지표를 추출하고, 우리나라의 하천이용 및 정비현황을 반영하여 하천유형을 3가지로 분류하고 각 하천유형에 대하여 3개 영역 10개 평가지표를 5개 등급으로 구분하여 평가시스템을 구축하였다. 하천에 대한 하천 지형특성과 현황을 조사할 항목은 수리 및 하도영역의 6개 항목, 하안영역의 2개 항목, 하천교란 영역 2개 항목으로 3개 영역으로 구분해서 평가하고 그 점수에 따라 1등급은 매우좋음(1등급)상태의 $20>{\sim}18{\geq}$점, 좋음(2등급)상태의 $18>{\sim}14{\geq}$점, 보통(3등급)상태의 $14>{\sim}8{\geq}$점, 나쁨(4등급)상태의 $8>{\sim}14{\geq}$점, 매우나쁨(5등급)상태의 4>점으로 등급을 산정하였다. 매우 좋음의 1등급은 참조하천이며 좋음~매우나쁨의 2등급~5등급은 비교하천으로 구분하였으며 보통보다 높은 경우는 자연하천, 낮은 경우는 인공하천으로 나누어 서식처 기반에 따라 평가체계를 구축하였다. 한국형 하천환경 물리평가 체계가 확실히 구축되기 위해서는 각자의 평가 등급이 적절하게 평가 되는지를 검증해야 하기 때문에, 본 연구에서는 하천유형별 자연하천과 인공하천을 비교 분석하였고 평가 영역별 평가지표를 기준으로 상관분석을 통한 상관성을 분석하고 더 나아가 가중치의 적절성 및 각각의 등급에 미치는 영향을 검토하고자 한다.
