Abstract

In recent years, more interest has been paid to making environmental indices, through a synthesis of the various environmental data, for the purpose of understanding the environmental status of a region.In this study, we have chosen the Seto Inland Sea region of Japan as our study area. We have set six environmental indices and analyzed the value of each index by using twenty-one environmental data factors. The region was divided into 207 municipal areas, which serve as the units for estimation, providing a detailed view of the study area. Using these environmental indices, a cluster analysis was performed on the entire region. These values were further classified into seven regions exhibiting similar environmental characteristics. The results were then used to create a map detailing the environmental characteristics of the region.
