In order to assess the allocation of stations, it is necessary to extract many items from different points of view and to select the items after defining the mutuality and the hierarchy among the items.
In this study, we first extracted the assessment items which were related to administration, economy and ecological effects through literature surveys and discussing with experts. Then we determined the mutuality and the hierarchy among the items by applying ISM (Interpretive Structural Modeling) method, and identified the hierarchical structure for assessing the allocation of stations.
