Abstract

As the environmental concerns have shifted gradually from the environmental pollutions to the Quality of Life (QOL) enhancement, it has become increasingly important to implement comprehensive assessment of environmental quality for public information as well as decision making. This study focuses on development of PEI(Public Environment Index) which has purposes to improve regional environment and analyzes the status of environment by public as one kind of environmental indices. Factors of PEI calculations are air, water, noise, green space and landscape. Factors are composed of 20 items including soiling and odor. Major contents are calculation of PEI, correlation analysis of factors and items of PEI, regression analysis of PEI and objective environmental indicators prepared as a dong unit, and PEI presentation using GIS. Also, for applying PEI effectively, environmental information as a dong unit is to be collected and managed periodically.
