Abstract
Recently, preventing damage to the landscape during construction of forest-roads has become a great concern. A plan is on foot to construct forest-roads for management and fire prevention in the Higasiyama mountains in Kyoto, and careful consideration must be given to the landscape because of the many famous historic sights around them. Therefore, we estimated the influence of three route plans on the landscape in advance using computer simulation. As a result, it was found that a route plan crossing the side of Kyoto city would have a minimum of influence on the landscape. In the computation, we gave different weight to the evaluation standards of influence on the landscape, costs of constructing forest-roads, potential slope failure and easiness of running by using AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process). As a result of analyzing the three routes using these four evaluation standards, the best route plan can be determined.
