| Research Abstract |
AT PRESENT, THE SIGNIFICANCE OF MOUNTAINOUS AREAS IS RECOGNIZED FROM THE VIEWPOINT OF ECOLOGICAL FUNCTION OF FARMLAND AND WOODLAND. IN THIS RESEARCH, BASED ON SUCH A BACKGROUND, DEVELOPMENT OF A GENERAL ENVIRONMENTAL INDEX WAS INVESTIGATED IN ORDER TO CONSERVE MOUNTAINOUS AREAS AS A CASE STUDY OF MARUKO TOWN, TAKESHI VILLAGE, WADA VILLAGE AND NAGATO TOWN IN CHIISAGATA COUNTY, NAGANO PREFECTURE.
BY EVALUATING LANDSLIDE PREVENTION, FLOOD PREVENTION, EROSION PREVENTION AND AIR POLLUTION CONTROL, A SYNTHETIC INDEX EXPRESSING FUNCTIONS OF NATIONAL LAND CONSERVATION WAS CONSTRUCTED BY MEANS OF OVERLAY TECHNIQUES IN GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM. A GENERAL ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION BY RESIDENTS' OPINIONS FOR SETTLEMENT IN THE INVESTIGATED AREA WAS DERIVED BY THE USE OF A QUESTIONNAIRE SURVEY.
BY MEANS OF INTEGRATING A SYNTHETIC INDEX EXPRESSING FUNCTIONS OF NATIONAL LAND CONSERVATION AND A GENERAL ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION BY RESIDENTS' OPINIONS AS A UNIT OF SETTLEMENT, A GENERAL ENVIRONMENTAL INDEX WAS CONSTRUCTED. IT IS CONSIDERED THAT THIS IS A INDEX EXPRESSING SOUND CONDITION OF MOUNTAINOUS AREAS.
