The purposes of this study were to explain local environmental factors for the sustainable development and to identify what these factors affect the sustainable development principles and the impact of performance. As well as between cities and small towns are experiencing distinct look to the local environment, focusing on their environment for regional development is to formulate a comprehensive strategy. To do this, first, the local environments were divided social environment, economic environment, natural environment, and their associated systematic and scientific evaluation of sustain-ability indicators were developed.
In addition, using these evaluation indicators, the evaluation of sustain-ability was conducted by targeting Daegu, Gumi, and Gunwi. And based on the results, these long-term development directions and baseline data for the development of the region were to provide. Survey research methods were chosen. The research were surveyed by targeting residents of Daegu, Gumi and Gunwi area. Totaling 1,800 questionnaires were distributed, the 1460 were recovered(the rate of collect, 81%). But of these, the number of 1,442 were ultimately used as research material.
Regional differences and causal analysis in the environmental sector are summarized as follows.
First, it is about the social environmental sectors. Daegu has enough strength in the educational opportunities and benefits to residential area and the Gumi city was evaluated in city scale, population density, car number, etc. Gunwi seems to be excellent in hygiene of agricultural products hygiene, water quality status.
Second, it is about the economic environmental sectors. Daegu has strength recyclables in the trash, the scale of environmental budget, Gumi seems to be advantages in the use of natural resources, environmental pollution control facilities, foreign exchange, Gunwi has an priority in the environmental protection activity, the support of public fund.
Third, it is about the natural environmental sectors. Daegu seems to be good at the water supply, water resources, Gumi, efficient management sector of land resources, Gunwi natural ecosystems conservation and management division seems to be good at.
Fourth, in the principle of sustainable development and achievement, in case of Daegu, it has strength of the health services and educational facilities accessibility and Gumi has excellent the job choice opportunities, energy utilization, and regional economic activity, and Gunwi has strengths the natural environment, including natural green space. The welfare of local residents believe the high level Gunwi, but the overall quality of life level, Gumi seems to be somewhat higher.
Fifth, the overall influencing factors for sustainable development, the education and financial sector were all important factors. And the environmental equity and efficiency of allocation, the distribution of resources were greatly affects in the achievement of sustainable development.
Next, by focusing the factors that affect sustainable development, it is to present how any environmental strategy should be developed.
First, the social and environmental strategies have to improve sustainable livelihoods. And by regional conditions, Daegu should be more development the education and public awareness, Gumi, the health care and protection conditions, Gunwi, the living conditions, etc.
Second, the economic environment strategy is needed the financial conditions and a balanced development. By region, the highest Gunwi appeared, followed by Gumi and Daegu have been analyzed. In particular, to secure environment of rural areas, it is very important to improve the way financial secure and economic development.
Third, the natural environment strategy is to improve the natural resource conditions. Looking for this regionally, with the highest Gunwi, Daegu and Gumi was the following. Therefore, it is need the approaches of political dimension, focusing on planning and management of natural resources.
Fourth, by priority of regional policy, in common three regions was higher in the cultural tourism and leisure facilities, medical facilities and the services sector. By region, Daegu should be further developed in Culture and Tourism and leisure, medical facilities, welfare and policing sector, Gumi must be to improve the public transportation system, police and welfare sector policing, Gunwi should be develop strategies to increase the culture and tourism, leisure, educational environment improvement, local industry, the level of urbanization.
In conclusion, the sustainable development of regions depends on the local environmental characteristics based on mutual relevance of the social, economic and natural environment. Thus, we will be presented the appropriate regional development strategies with regard to local peculiarities.
