Abstract

Multivariate statistical analysis was applied to 110 dam heightening reservoir to classify the building conditions for waterfront centered around cultivated area using data of land cover, landscape, additional water quantity, local economic, tourism resources, and accessibility related variables. Five factors were extracted through factor analysis based on eigen value criteria of more than one. These five factors together account for 68.2% of the total variance. Characteristics of five factors for the downstream of dam heightening reservoirs are building conditions of waterfront, economic conditions, additional water quantity, eco-tours, and accessibility of tourism resources respectively. Five clusters were classified through cluster analysis based on factor score. The classified result shows that third cluster has remunerative terms for building waterfront.
