Kangwondo area is mountainous and landslide happens easily during the rainy period in summer time. Especially, when there is torrential downpour caused by the unusual weather change, there will be greater possibility to see landslide. It is very difficult to analyze and study a natural phenomenon like the landslide because there are so many factors behind it. And the way to conduct the analysis is also very complicated. However, if GIS is used, we can classify and analyze data efficiently by modeling the real phenomenon with a computer. Based upon the analysis on the causes of landslide in the areas where it occurred in the past, therefore, this study shows several factors leading to landslide and contains the GIS database categorized by grade and stored in the computer. In order to analyze the influence of every factor causing landslide, we calculated the rates of weight by AHP and evaluated landslide vulnerability in the study area by using GIS. As a result of such analysis, we found that the forest factor has most potential influences among other factors in landslide.

The CBAM (Cost Benefit Analysis Method) provides a method for deciding the best architectural strategy by considering cost, schedule, and risks as well as the benefits of the architectural strategy. But many parts of the CBAM do not Present quantitative evidence explicitly on whether it is the best architectural strategy among others because it depends on the stakeholders' consensus, vote, and/or intuition. In this study, we apply the AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) to CBAM to provide explicit quantitative evidence and to reduce the possibility of subjective decision-making errors that may occur in the CBAM.

The purpose of this paper is to find the success factors for a newly developed marine financial city of Busan. For this, in the paper, we did case studies about advanced marine financial cities such as Hamburg, Oslo, Pireus, Shanghai, Singapore and London. And we made the hierarchical questionnaire for this study from literature reviews and interviews with experts in the field of the marine finance. A hierarchy was made up of 4 factors as the first class and the each factor consisted of four elements as the second class. The results of AHP analysis are as follows. First, the most important factor in the priorities with respect to marine financial city of Busan is "development of marine finance(0.371)" within the four factors as the first class. Next came "business environment(0.248)", "infrastructure(0.206)" and "support of government(0.175)". Second, the most important things is a clustering for marine finance(0.134) within 16 elements as the second class. We also analysed the priorities by the each factor of the second class. The most important element is an industrial clustering of marine finance(0.400) for "development of marine finance" and a clustering of the shipbuilding & marine industry(0.175) for "business environment" factor. And the ICT & transportation(0.326) is the most important element for "infrastructure" and a support of the national government(0.423) for "support of government" factor.

Smartphones are widely used as a mobile communication devices with more advanced computing ability and connectivity than a contemporary feature phone. As the market expands, many brand-new smartphones are released and chosen by (potential) smartphone users. In spite of smartphone's popularity, little research of the factors affecting the evaluation of smartphones and their influences on smartphone choice have been performed. Therefore, we aim to analyze evaluation factors of smartphone selection and use in this research. We use Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process method, a Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) model, to find the relative importance among the factors considering the fuzziness of pair-wise comparison using AHP. After reviewing related works and interviewing the focus group, we extract the five independent factors influencing the choice and use of a smartphone. Pair-wise comparison and triangle fuzzy numbers are used to calculate the relative importance of factors. We analyze not only the whole interviewees' responses, but the differences between smartphone users and non-users. Practical implications are delivered in concluding remarks.

This research investigates the determinant factors of technology licensing contracts and the relative importance of each factor. To accomplish this objective we classify various factors affecting technology licenses into two categories, technology and environment, and conduct an Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) with a Korean expert survey. From the AHP results, we find that the possibility of commercial success, as well as the scope and levels of exclusive rights which are transferred together with technology to the licensee, are very important among technological factors in technology transfer. Moreover, we conclude that the technology utilization capacity and the learning capabilities of the licensee are also important environmental factors. Finally, we conclude that the factors which the licensor and licensee consider in technology transfer are different from each other. Based on this result, we discuss implications with regard to reducing this factor gap between the licensor and licensee as a means of promoting and improving technology transfer in the Republic of Korea.

Bank protection is a structure constructed to protect directly embankment breakage and erosion by river flow. Traditionally, the type of bank protection has been decided by practitioner's subjective and empirical judgement, which often causes problems after construction. Recently, however, it becomes important to consider not only physical protection but also environment. Various types of bank protection for environment-friendly river are now available. Thus, there is a need for more objective and quantitative decision method for bank protection work. This study adopts the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to improve the objectiveness in the decision of bank protection work. Criteria for stability, economy, construction, environment are identified and a standardized process is presented for field application. With the proposed method, one can prioritize various bank protection works and make the optimal decision. We believe that the method can serve as a useful tool for river engineers in practice.

Multi-Criteria Analysis is one method for optimizing decisions that include numerous characteristics and objective functions. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used as a general Multi-Criteria Analysis considering many critical issues. However, since validation procedures for the decision reliability of AHP valuers had been left off existing methodologies, a new methodology including such validation procedures is required to make more reliable decisions. In this research, idea decision results are derived using Monte Carlo Simulation in cases where AHP valuers do not have expertise in the specific project, and these results are compared with the results derived from experts to develop a new analysis model to make more reliable decisions. Finally, this new analysis is applied to various field case studies of road and rail carried out by the Korea Development Institute (KDI) between 2003 and 2006 to validate the new analysis model. The study found that approximately 20% of decisions resulting from the existing methodology are considered prudent. In future studies, the authors suggest analyzing the correlation between initial weights and final results since final results are enormously influenced by the initial weight.

The purpose of this research is to derive and evaluate priorities for critical factors that must be determined before an enterprise adopts a cloud computing service. AHP analysis techniques were used to reflect decisions made by experts as research methods. AHP is a decision-making technique that expresses complex decision-making problems hierarchically and derives the best alternatives through pairwise comparison between the items of the hierarchy. Compared to the existing statistical decision making techniques, the decision making process is systematic and simple, making it easy to understand. In addition, the procedure is also reasonable by providing an indicator to determine the consistency of the decision maker in the analysis process. The analysis results of this research showed that security was the first priority, reliability was the second priority, and economic efficiency was the third priority. Among the factors in the first-priority security items, the access control rights and the safety factors of external threats are the most important factors. Research results can be used as a guideline in future practice, and it is necessary to evaluate, compare and analyze the satisfaction of companies that have adopted cloud computing services in the future.
