Ⅰ. Introduction
1. Research Background and Purpose
o In order to support decision-making that considers the values of the environment, there is a need to conduct a comprehensive research analysis that integrates the environment and the economy and also ties in the analysis of physical environmental impacts from the policy/project and the economic evaluation of environmental benefits and costs.
o This study, therefore, quantifies the environmental impacts of various environment types and estimates values per unit (hereinafter, unit values) of environmental services. It also establishes a systematic framework (procedures) that connects the two outcomes to utilize them in the policy/project assessment.
o Furthermore, it aims to provide an analytical tool through which the established integrated analytical framework can operate as a single system. It also seeks to improve the Environmental Valuation Information System (EVIS) as a system-supporting database.
2. Research content and scope
o The integrated analysis system comprises two main items: analytical tool (the integrated analysis template) and support DB (provides data for analysis). Hence, a template for integrated analysis is designed for each environment type, and the support DB, which provides data, is built so that integrated analyses using templates run smoothly.
ㅇ The content on system-building includes designing of the integrated analytical framework and improvement of the DB (contained in book 1), direct research by each category, and case studies for policy assessment (contained in book 2).
