Abstract: The objective of this study is to investigate priority of agri-environmental policy measures using the Analytic Hierarchy Process as an analytical tool. The AHP is a systematic procedure for analyzing the elements of any problem hierarchically. Based on survey of expertise, a series of pairwise comparison judgments is performed to evaluate the relative strength or intensity of impact among the elements in the hierarchy. This study are applied four kinds of policy evaluation criteria such as efficiency, effectiveness, enforceability, and political acceptability and 14 kinds of agri-environmental policy measures. The analytical results show that the most priority among the policy measures is given to an environmentally friendly direct payment program.
