VTS has two main factors; service water and management level which have several elements respectively. As the measures to quantify these elements which are sometimes quantitative, the concept of “evaluation score” is introduced. With these evaluation scores, the water factor and the factor of management for a specified VTS can be characterized as the sum of evaluation scores of each element with which “WATER INDEX” and “MANAGEMENT INDEX” can be defined.
Analysis is made on relation between WATER INDEX and MANAGEMENT INDEX. The results indicate that MANAGEMENT INDEX is considerably dependent on WATER INDEX.
