ABSTRACT

The importance of quantitative spatial location analysis in agriculture became increased, as traditional agricultural society has been transformed into international market oriented economic society in the process of globalization. However, there are not many geographical studies about agricultural location analysis in Korea. As a case study about agricultural location analysis, this study investigates Korean wild berry, which has recently been considered as both market oriented and grain alternative agricultural product. Korean wild berry has been successful, in limited scale, as a regionally specific griculture product. However, there has been no study about location analysis about Korean wild berry considering natural and human environments for the agriculture. Therefore, this study investigates to provide optimal location for Korean wild berry agriculture in Gyungsang province. Meanwhile, this study overviews previous Korean literature about agriculture location. Kriging and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) are applied for data management and spatial weight generation for Multi-Criteria analysis. The result shows that South-Eastern, Western, Southern areas in Gyungsang province are optimal locations for the wild berry agriculture. This study presents practical importance for agricultural planning in Gyungsang province. In addition, this is meaningful to provide spatial quantitative modeling application in agriculture location.
