It is very important in designing civil engineering structures that the quantification of geological informations must be carried out in terms of importance. In this study, the geological informations are quantified and evaluated using analytic hierarchy process (AHP). A professional group was organized with 30 people in the field of civil engineering, transport, and geology. On the assumption that the civil engineering structure is linear such as highway or railroad, a survey of the group in terms of geological and hydro-geological elements has found that the hierarchy structure is composed of four levels. And fault structure is a primary factor which causes the stability of a linear civil engineering structure. The importance of geological items are arranged with fault (0.456), foliation/bedding plane(0.l65), lineation(0.144), ground water(0.124), and rock type(0.111).

Purpose: School meal programs should be part of the educational process to promote good eating habits for students. The purpose of this study was to develop an evaluation scale for educational school meal programs and evaluate the achievement level of educational school meal programs using the developed scale. Methods: The evaluation scale for educational school meal programs consisted of 23 items in eight categories and was developed using content validity ratio (CVR) analysis and analytic hierarchy process (AHP) by 15 related experts. The results of a survey on nutrition teachers or dietitians at 91 elementary, middle, and high schools in Gyeonggi province, South Korea were analyzed to evaluate the achievement levels of educational school meal programs. Results: Overall, total average score was 45.7 out of 100, with significant differences among schools (p = 0.005). Elementary schools (51.9) showed a higher average score than middle (41.5) and high schools (37.1). The score for the category of regular nutrition and dietary education was the lowest (5.7 out of 33.7). In addition, school meal environment (5 out of 10), educational activities through school meal time (9.2 out of 19), and extra-curricular experiential activities (3.5 out of 10) also showed inadequate levels. Conclusion: The results show that the overall level of educational school meal programs is not adequate and needs to be improved, especially at middle and high schools. Government support polices need to be implemented to encourage educational activities related to school meal programs.

The latest biometric field have marched fast with security technology of IT. As importance of present biometrics is realized, internal and external biometrics software market is trend that is soaring. Accordingly, high reliability of biometric software and request of high quality software are enlarged. Evaluation items and criteria must be established for biometric software quality assurance. In this paper, we development the evaluation module for biometric software test based on ISO/IEC 12119 that is the standard about software quality requirement and test, and ISO/IEC 9126 that is standard about evaluation of software product, and ISO/IEC 14598-6 that is the standard about construction of the evaluation module. Constituents of biometric software products(product descriptor, user document program and data) is subject to the quality evaluation module that we developed in this paper, we can expect improvement in the quality of software by using with a standard such as ISO/IEC 9126-3 that can be used in software development process.

In this study, 4 indices of hydraulic & hydrological, geomorphological, eco & environmental, social effect and 38 items are selected to calculate impact range of downstream of dam. The Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP) was applied to determine the priority of impact range calculation indices and items. As results of indices valuation, hydraulic & hydrological effect is the first priority, the second is eco & environmental, next are geomorphological and social effect. As results of items valuation, the design flood of dam is the first priority, the second is the natural flood & design flood of channel, next are the design flood rate of channel, drainage area and back water level caused by downstream of dam. In the case of Daechung dam, impact ranges were estimated 47.21 km in terms of the design flood of dam, 45.71 km of the design flood rate of channel, 13.94 km of the drainage area.

Conjunctive use of surface and ground water has drawn much attention as a promising means to solve water shortage problems. Characterized by its maximum utilization of regional resources and environmental friendliness, conjunctive use is expected to contribute to the integrated water resources management in the coming era. This paper examines the applicability of the methodology for conjunctive use developed in the companion paper (this issue). The method consists of the entire process of conjunctive use, including site assessment using analytic hierarchy process, management scenario development based on drought analysis, and evaluation of benefits obtained. Sokcho City was chosen as the study area, and the application of derived operation scenarios for surface and subsurface reservoirs revealed that water of 4.9∼7.4 million cubic meters a year can be attainable additionally. The developed methodology enables one to devise management schemes and to quantify their effectiveness, which makes the method useful for water resources planners as well as practitioners.

Conjunctive use of surface and ground water is emerging as an alternative to resolve water shortage problems caused by drought or overpopulation. The region whose water supply depends on a single source has high risk of emergency situations, and may need to consider conjunctive use to overcome its weakness. Conjunctive use also can be a realistic and effective solution when additional or new water resources are to be developed. This paper presents a new methodology for managing surface and ground water resources with the aim of supplying water in a sustainable way. The developed method encompasses procedures to assess site suitability for conjunctive use, to devise water supply scenarios based on drought analysis, and to quantify the amount of water attained. It is believed that the systematic and objective features of the developed method enable it to be a useful supportive tool for water management planning and decision-making.

The main purpose of this study is that financial resources allocation criteria are examined closely between central government and local government as well as among local government in a river basin. Financial resources allocation principles reflecting water use, flood control, and water quality improvement are reviewed and derived two categories such as common factors and individual factors. The weights of each factor are assigned by analytical hierarchy process. The results of applying four river basins (Han river, Geum river, Nakdong river, Yeongsan-seumjin river) show that rational raising of financial resources are different according to the characteristics of each river basin. Findings are as follows: In case of Han river and Yeongsan Seumjin river, benefit principle and polluter pay principle by individual factors are more attractive than other Principles. Solvency principle by common factor is more acceptable than the other principles in Nakdong-river and Geum-river.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between the locational characteristics of areas surrounding oriental medicine hospitals and the number of patients who visited study hospitals. Administrative data collected from the annual report of 5 ward offices in Daejeon used to assess the geographical attributes. Two oriental medicine hospitals operated in Daejeon provided data for the number of inpatient and outpatient. Number of patients who visited study hospitals was calculated in each Dong which is the smallest administrative district. The geographical attributes of Daejeon were evaluated by the demographic and economic factors which were assumed to influence the health care demand. Each criterion was measured from each Dong. Weights of factors was calculated by Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. Evaluation scores which representing the geographical attributes of Dong was computed by multiplying the eight factors and weights. Results showed positive correlation coefficients between the evaluation scores of Dong and the number of patients. One hospital which was more closely located to areas with high evaluation scores had higher number of patients than that of the other hospital. Buffering analysis with varying size support the analysis results. This finding proposed the importance of location for the management of oriental medicine hospitals in a metropolitan city. Applying study model to other cities will enhance the validity of study results.
