| Abstract |
Recently, Korean cities have many problems such as decrease of a number of population and decline of a number of buildings and infrastructure quality. These problems are regarded as the "blight" in this study. The purpose of this study is to make evaluating indicators of blight in commercial zones, and give weights on them. The AHP method was used for analysis. The results were as follows. Experts thought physical environment should be improved immediately. The quality of Infrastructure(0.675), population characteristics(0.636), and income level(0.641) were thought as the most important thing in each field. After weights on the indicators were ascribed, the formula were drawn. This study will help to settle what districts have to be fixed first, and be useful to establish the direction of revitalizing cities through the synthetic judgement of physical, social, and economic factors. |
