As one of methodological approaches for objective and systematic evaluation for rural resources, a sequential system for significance determination of resources items was formulated using AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) as the base technique. By the system constructed in this study, the significance values were calculated for all items of standard goal system which had been presented in the first phase- paper of research works for rural resources evaluation. The results analysed and obtained in the study are summarized as follows; 1. In case that the number of resources items for evaluation are relatively large, stepwise matrix method is considered as the better one for pair-comparison works in view of evaluator's convenience and consistency. 2. The significance valuing results for most resources items showed a considerable difference between characteristic areas, especially in aspects of land and human resources, so being considered as wet reflecting the specific areal varieties, 3. On land resources, the items for industrial development and land use showed higher significance value, while natural environment resources the items for ecological varieties and on human resources the items for artificial facilities. However, lower-valued ones were the items for mineral stocks in land resources, for control and protection in natural environment resources and for lower-level culture heritage respectively.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the biotope structure of the city center area of Jung-gu for nature experiences and recreation purposes. Jung-gu is the most extremely and rapidly urbanized area of Daegu. This study was conducted under the assumption that the biotope structure of a city center area would be different from the urban area. The results of this study are as follows: 1) There are 11 biotope type groups as designated as commercial and work-area biotope type group, and 41 detailed biotope types designated as commercial areas with a lack of greenspace biotope type. 2) The commercial and work area biotope type group has the largest area with 34% of the total area, and the square biotope type group has the smallest area with 34% of total area. 3) The result of primary biotope evaluation is that there are 12 biotope types that have greater than third grade, apart from the biotope type of park that includes natural vegetation. The first grade of biotope type has not appeared in this area, however, the fifth grade of biotope type has 20 biotope types with the biotope type of construction work area (JA). 4) The results of the secondary biotope evaluation are 1 biotope for la, 9 biotopes for 2a, 9 biotopes for 2b, 14 biotopes for 2c and no biotope for 2a. This study suggests that a detailed investigation and improvement plan for high-value biotope areas in the city center area must be continued.

This study was designed and carried out to identify the methodologies of the staff evaluation used by the headnurses and their perception on the purpose of the evaluations, and to measure the degree and type of perceived purpose and the degree of implementation of staff evaluation principles into preactice. A hundred and eleven from four general hospitals with 600 beds and over were conveniently sampled. Data were gathered from August 20, through September 10, 1994 ; demographic data of respondents and 'methodologies used for staff evaluation' by questionaires, level of 'perceived purposes of staff evaluation' and level of implementation of the 'principles of staff evaluation into practice' by Likert-type rating scales developed by the researcher. Raw and percentile scores and means were calculated and data were processed further by t-tests and ANOVA. Results are as follows ; 1. Traditional methodlogies : checklists(90.1%) and ranking methods(45.9%) revealed to be the two mostly prefered and used methods. 2. Of the 20 item-descriptions of the 'purpose of staff evaluation': 10 'control, evaluative' and 10 'non-control, developmental' the first(mean=3.19) to the ninth(mean=2.74) in rank order revealed to be the 'control, evaluative purpose', while the tenth in rank order revealed to be the first among the 'non-control, evaluative' item(mean-1.57). 3. Level of purpose of staff evaluation perceived as 'control ; evaluative'(mean=43.76, S.D.=5.01) revealed to be significantly(t=-3.86, p<.05) highter than 'non-control ; developmental'(mean=40.65, S.D.=3.41). 4.
