AHP기법을 이용한 건강결정요소 및 건강도시사업 가중치분석

Abstract

Recently, some Korean cities have joined the Alliance for Healthy Cities (AFHC) in the West Pacific Region. In these cities, diverse criteria based on private/public health indicators have been studied to improve physical environment in terms of Healthy Cities. And Healthy Cities Projects provide much more contributions to public policies and individual efforts to improve ‘quality of life’. ‘Healthy Cities’approach, which has seen underpinned by democratic and participative processes, need to be regarded as a model for good local governance. It emphasizes community participation in decision-making, policy implementation and evaluation processes. For this study, the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method was applied to the survey of officers’opinions for the evaluation items and important factors. We identified that the main focus of governance based on private-public partnership should be based on diverse participating efforts of experts and agencies for promoting ‘Healthy City Project’. In addition, we found that organization of stable and permanent governance network would be the most critical factor. Also, legal and institutional supports as well as visions and passions of participants, vulnerable groups should be included in critical factors for efficient governance. Consequently this study may contribute to suggesting some criteria to be applied to Korean‘ Healthy Cities’for the future
