A dredging on erosion control dam has been enforced without evaluation the factors that affect the dredging. In addition, there is the negative effect much more than positive effect by dredging on erosion control dam. Therefore, this study was carried out to develop evaluation indicators and to suggest fieldbook in order to determine whether sand deposits at erosion control dam should be dredged up or not. The most important six evaluation indicators that can decide to dredge up at erosion control dam were obtained from three round delphi technique and were selected in the following order: the current sand deposit ratio(0.339), existence of cultivated land and house downstream(0.276), the slope of streambed(0.162), the amount of movable soil and gravel(0.118), the history of any disasters(0.063), the basin area(0.043). The weighted score for each evaluation indicator were acquired from AHP analysis with respect to the degree of importance and then the modified weighted score for actual measurements were classified as three categories: large(2.53), medium(1.60) and small(1.01). Based on delphi technique, erosion control dam dredging evaluation fieldbook introduced the four evaluation indicators out of the total six evaluation indicators and two low effected evaluation indicators were excluded. This results showed that the values for reliability analysis and consistency ratio were acceptable.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to identify priorities for the 4th Comprehensive Plan for Korean Medicine Development using Delphi and AHP techniques. Methods : This study uses Delphi-AHP method to first, select the target priority policy based on the policy content of the 4th Comprehensive Plan. In addition, two surveys on the priorities were conducted to reach consensus between experts. The main results of the first survey were also provided to experts participating in the second survey to help form expert consensus. Finally, the final policy priority was chosen based on the second survey result. Results : Survey results showed that of the 39 policies in the 4th Comprehensive Plan, "improve the accessibility of Korean medicines," was the most important goal. This was followed by "support for Korean medicine R&D from clinical research to industrialization," "provide foundation for a pilot project that provides customized medical services" and "strengthen the public medicine function of Korean medicine by expanding the its infrastructure in national and public hospitals." Conclusion : The results showed that capacity building of Korean medicine in primary care, improvement of the health insurance system, and research centered on industrialization are relatively more important goals, while the need to enhance global competitiveness was much less important. These key points can serve as a reference when formulating the 5th Comprehensive Plan for Korean Medicine Development in the future.

The use of technology is increasing within the service industry, but there is some doubt as to whether the benefits of employing this technology have been efficiently harnessed such as data mining. Data mining is the process of extracting certain predictive information from databases that can evolve from currently used restaurant management systems. The potential of harnessing this predictive information can have an enormous impact on the restaurant's operation on the whole, particularly in the area customer retention and competition. Since there is insufficient literature on the use of data mining in the restaurant industry, this study is both seminal and investigative, done via a Delphi survey to explore and describe the current and future applications of this process.

This research suggests the FD-AHP decision making model for Construction Projects which is composed of two main method to prevent a ranking invert situation ; First, to make the consensus of the experts consistent, we utilize Fuzzy-Delphi method to adjust the fuzzy rating of every expert to achive the consensus condition with the fuzzy linguistic presentation. Second, to handle vague linguistic presentation caused by expert's experiences and subjective judgement, we propose Fuzzy-AHP which is able to enhance precision of construction projects decision mating situation. Moreover, with the correlation analysis, we show that the validity of the FD-AHP model under a decision making task specially on where highly demanded expert's experiences and intuition.

An index was developed for analyzing the promising countries for seawater desalination plant and related data sets were collected and analyzed. Each indicators was standardized by scale readjustment method and Delphi method was used to calculate the weights for indicators from questionnaire survey by experts in seawater desalination plant field. Twenty three indicators were selected and they were classified into three groups, economic, social, and environmental indicator groups. Eleven countries (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Iran, Qatar, China, Singapore, India, Algeria, Turkey, United States) were selected considering present data availability and index for each country was calculated. The results show United States and China took the first (0.537) and second (0.490) place for the most promising country for seawater desalination plant. However it will not be easy to play a significant role in the markets because of present seawater desalination technology level and national policy, etc. Saudi Arabia took the third (0.329) place and other countries which has more than 0.2 index value can be considered as a promising countries for seawater desalination plant. We can establish a strategy to export our seawater desalination technology and plant using the result of this study. The developed index can be applied to other countries, which were not included in this study, when their data is available.
