Solid Waste Disposal Site Selection in Rural Area: Youngyang-Gun, Kyungpook

농촌지역 쓰레기 매립장 입지선정에 관한 연구 -경상북도 영양군을 사례로-

This study attempts to establish the criteria of site selection for establishing solid waste disposal facility, to determine optimal solid waste disposal sites with the criteria, and to examine the suitability of the selected sites. The Multi-Criteria Evaluation(MCE) module in Idrisi is used to determine optimal sites for solid waste disposal. The MCE combines the information from several criteria in interval and/or ratio scale to form a single index of evaluation without leveling down the data scale into ordinal scale. The summary of this study is as follows: First, the considerable criteria are selected through reviewing the literature and the availability of data: namely, percent of slope, fault lines, bedrock characteristics, major residential areas, reservoirs of water supply, rivers, inundated area, roads, and tourist resorts. Second, the criteria maps of nine factors have been developed. Each factor map is standardized and multiplies by its weight, and then the results are summed. After all of the factors have been incorporated, the resulting suitability map is multiplied by each of the constraint in turn to "zero out" unsuitable area. The unsuitable areas are discovered in urban district and its adjacencies, and mountain region as well as river, roads, resort area and their adjacency districts. Third, the potential sites for establishing waste disposal facilities are twenty five districts in Youngyang-gun. Five districts are located in Subi-myun Sinam-ri, nine districts in Chunggi-myun Haehwa-ri and Moojin-ri, and eleven districts in Sukbo-myun Posan-ri. The first highest score of suitability for waste disposal sites is shown at number eleven district in Chunggi-myun Moojin-ri and the second highest one is discovered at number twenty one district in Sukbo-myun Posan-ri that is followed by number nine district in Chunggi-myun Haehwa-ri, number seventeen and twenty three in Sukbo-myun Posan-ri, and number two in Subi-myun Sinam-ri. The first lowest score is found in number six district in Chunggi-myun Haehwa-ri, and the second lowest one is number five district in Subi-myun Sinam-ri. Finally, the Geographic Information System (GIS) helps to select optimal sites with more objectively and to minimize conflict in the determination of waste disposal sites. It is important to present several potential sites with objective criteria for establishing waste disposal facilities and to discover characteristics of each potential site as a result of that final sites of waste disposal are determined through considering thought of residents. This study has a limitation of criteria as a result of the restriction of availability of data such as underground water, soil texture and mineralogy, and thought of residents. To improve selection of optimal sites for a waste disposal facility, more wide rage of spatial and non-spatial data base should be constructed.

본 연구의 목적은 쓰레기 매립장의 입지선정 기준을 정립하고, 경상북도 영양군을 사례로 GIS 기법을 이용하여 실제 쓰레기 매립장의 입지후보지를 선정한 다음, 선정된 후보지를 상호비교하여 적정입지의 요인별 특성을 제시하는 것이다. 분석에 사용된 GIS소프트웨어는 Idrisi모듈인 Multi-Criteria Evaluation(MCE)이다. 영양군 쓰레기 매립장 입지선정에 이용된 입지요인은 경사도, 단층선, 기반암과 인구밀집지역, 상수원, 하천, 범람원, 도로 그리고 휴양관광지와의 거리등 9개 요인이다. 입지요인의 표준화와 요인별 가중치를 이용한 적합도와 배제기준을 적응한 결과 쓰레기 매립장 건립 불가지역은 시가지와 그 인접지역, 산악지역, 하천, 간선도로, 휴양관광지 및 그 인접지역으로 전체면적의 85.3%에 해당하는 $695.08km^2$였다. 쓰레기 매립장 적정입지 후보지로는 수비면 신암리, 청기면 행화리와 무진리 그리고 석보면 포산리등 3개지역 총 25개 지점이 선정되었다.
