Replotting works is a means to embody enlargement of plot size and consolidation of scattered plots in thereadjustment project of arable land. So, the analysis/evaluation of its project results would have the exacttimeliness in the viewpoint that structural reform have been a vital issue in the agricultural policy in Korea, since beginning of WTO system in the world trade.
This study carried out firstly the interview-survey in the three case areas to grasp the equiposed opinionsof related parties to replotting works, and developed a computerized system for its rational package-deal analysis/evaluation. Finally, the usefulness of this system was ascertained through its application to the case studyareas mentioned above.
The interviewing results showed a great disparity between farmers and project agencies on the minimum sizelimit of replotted plots, major impediments to consolidation of the scattered plots, top-preferential factor fordecision-making in replotting strategies and the optimum travelling distance to the plot.
Judging from the replotting results in aspects of consolidation of scattered plots and enlargement of plot size, Nasan project area was the best one among three case areas, which was considered to result from the stronglydriven comprehensive farmland readjustment project.
The reliability of evaluation system developed in this study was ascertained from the full compatibility betwe-en differences of ratio-of-replotting in, of farmers' persistence propensity of replotting to the original place andof travelling distance before-and-after replotting works in each project area.
