More Information
Summary:Geup Kyung Sa Ji (GGSJ) is the term used to refer to steep slopes managed by the Ministry of Interior and Safety (MOIS). The MOIS is a government agency of South Korea in charge of administration and safety, with evaluations and management carried out by local governments. There are 16,071 GGSJs as of March 2022. However, it is difficult to determine whether the evaluation results for these GGSJs are reliable and whether data are managed efficiently. Unlike the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the Korea Forest Service, there are personnel in charge of the relevant administration and welfare operations who are not experts in GGSJs. Therefore, a method for evaluating the currently managed steep slopes and the problems that arise in the process must be identified through evaluation by experts and non-experts in the field. Additionally, methods to increase the consistency and reliability of evaluation results must be determined. This study proposes methods designed to solve the problem of differences in evaluation results caused by the diversity of perspectives on the evaluation of GGSJs and which can be used in the assessment of complex slopes. This study aims to increase the efficiency and consistency of evaluation results in the integrated management of GGSJs to build trust among management staff.
